Amplifier to Speaker Matching Tutorial | UniqueSquared.com

[@Skauber]

You can drive a 500W speaker with a 10W amp, the sound output just won't be very loud. In a home stereo, it's not crucial to have an overpowered amp for your speakers, depending on your usage. If you listen to music at comfortable and neighbour-friendly levels, a small-ish amp can drive big-ish speakers to a certain degree, lets say a 50W amp driving 100W speakers. But in a professional setup where you are looking at a high power usage scenario over prolonged periods of time, you want a more powerful amp, the manufacturers of speakers often recommend an amp which is equal or upto double the power of the speakers, i.e. 500W to 1000W amp for 500W speakers. The reason for this is that you want to avoid that the amp will start clipping at all costs. An amp that clips will blow up speakers very quickly. Then it is up to you as a sound engineer to handle this power correctly, i.e. not push the speakers too hard by setting the levels correctly on the amp. A 500W RMS speaker can handle more than 500W in short peaks, i.e. a kick drum or similar, as long as you don't push too hard.

[@AndreaMcNeely220]

Thank you for explaining this. You saved me from making a colossal mistake in purchasing an integrated amp on eBay that looked good, but from your excellent tutorial I learned that it would not handle my speakers. :)

[@rgd10]

Thank you so much. This is the first video I've seen that actually speaks to people who have little or no knowlege of the subject.

[@ΑγγελοςΜπακαλης-ζ9η]

Richard Daggett noooo he is wrong dont listen to him!!!

[@keithdavis3314]

Usually don't write comments but I liked your video and thought it was super helpful. Thanks a lot. Made things really easy.

[@BrianButera]

Thank you for this video! It does an excellent job of summing up the pairing process as simply as possible. I've read hours of explanations online only to come away more confused. Some of the comments below are insane- the audio nuts and people who don't know what they're talking about strangely sound similar. This video just goes over the process of pairing a set of speakers to an amplifier properly. It does not cover speaker sensitivity, etc. because it doesn't matter at this point. He's clearly working with a PA system for a venue. While your home listening needs will most certainly be different in terms of speaker sensitivity, speaker size, etc. the concept is the same. If you're going for audiophile quality sound, pre amps, filters, etc. all come into play, but again, it doesn't matter at this point. Great video!

[@tpilot1]

I gave up mate but this video was the best I found, Now I am on battery's and they work of they same principle, My brain canot handle it, But once you got the basics than the rest will follow. Cheers for vids

[@christiaanbezuidenhout6984]

05:43 And remember. Dividing the impedance by the number of speakers is only correct when all the speakers have the same impedance. If you connect different impedance speakers to a channel you'll need to calculate the net impedance differently and also keep in mind that different watts will now flow to the two speakers because of the difference in impedance. So its always a good idea to keep with the same impedance and watts when bridging multiple speakers to a channel :)

[@tatalino9370]

Wonderful very easy to understand presentation, there's a lot of vids out there but this one is really makes me easily understand basic "amp to speaker matching tutorial" Thanks!!!

[@RODE2112]

Nice flip/catch @ 4:00. Really though, This explanation made it all sooooo understandable. Great vid!

[@scottdematteo]

WOW! Best tutorial I have ever seen on this subject. Excellent video! Thanks so much for posting and demystifying this subject for me.

[@rewindrecords3507]

Excellent video; concise, accurate and easy to follow. Thanks!

[@robertdenison8256]

This is the best explanation for ME I have found. Thanks so much!

[@alexanderjosefsen]

You say that continuous power, RMS and program power is the same thing, maybe it is maybe it isnt. I looked at some Cerwin Vega speakers online from a store here in Norway and the description says this: Power Handling (Watts): RMS 350 W | Program 700 W | Peak 1400 W The reason i ask is RMS and program is very different, who of the two should i have in mind when looking for an amp?

[@Kumarka47]

Hi, Your info is so good and clear. Please help in the case, i have TDA7560 4 Ohms 45 W-Max 51 W then, what is voltage & amp to apply and which speaker is suitable?

[@tabliya]

Can I add a 4 channel mixer to Guitar amp speaker and use for small home gigs ? basically 3 or 4 mics coming together in a mixer and getting out into guitar amp speaker like fishman/boss/roland ?

[@rondill8429]

YES

[@foxtone9]

Thanks for the quick response! Well, right now we have a 300-watt Yamaha EMX312SC Mixer with two Yamaha S112V Club Speakers (350 watt program handling each). I realized after watching your video that we're at a risk of damaging our mixer, so we're currently looking into trading up for the Yamaha EMX512SC mixer.

[@abelflores5575]

completely new to this type of thing thanks for simplifying a bit I recently got a dean markley dmc-80 amp and don't know much about it. just want to know if I can hook up a mic also don't know what type of adapter I need to let it play 1/8 male end I could send photos to see what I have thanks

[@ordunaplace1]

great video. still confused. just bought a pioneer sa6300 amp. 20w per channel, stereo amp. what size speakers should i be looking at? cheers

[@matth1841]

Me too, have you got speakers for yours yet?

[@ordunaplace1]

Bought an old pair of pioneers. 60w are ok.

[@matth1841]

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm looking at a pair of Pioneer CS-77a. What was the model of the speakers you got?

[@ordunaplace1]

cs99a

[@TheUfm123]

This might be a silly question .but how does the amplifier go from 4 ohm to 2ohm. Is there a switch or something. Thanks.

[@kongwee1978]

It is not switch. Amplifier can do 2ohm or lower. It is how much load it can handle before getting clip or even shot. Normally big woofer will go down very much low ohm.

[@Jurgen67nl]

Nice video. It's not based on facts but on experience! Some things are not technical correct bit gives a nice indication.

[@ramshankardhir]

Thank you sir, for your information in a clean way. Will you please explain more about crossover matching with driver/speaker in your other video.

[@Michaelzeiss]

Great video. Can you help me with my problem? I have an amp that can pump 500W at 4ohms. I've attached a 4ohm speaker that's 250W. Sounds great. I want to add another speaker but it's 8ohms at 300W. Can I do this? The impedance are different. Will this blow up anything? Thanks.

[@ronmerkus5941]

well you should not need the other speaker , besides the two are different ohm ratings, unless you cannot change the ohm rating of the 8 ohm there is know use

[@prettyhard0150]

...Hi UniqueSquared .. im thinking of getting the setup you shown on the video.. can i add 1more pair of jbl srx125 for the amp? or should i get more powerful amp to drive 2 pairs of jbl srx125?

[@javierpaiz1485]

the way you explain is good the only thing i dont get is if you have the 800 amp and 500 spk and the you ad 2 more do you need to go high on the amp or just wire good for the ohms meaning if i have 2 sets of 500 watts spk (4 spk) i can run them with a 800 watts amp if i wire them on impidence or i need to go higher

[@hrayrohanyan4498]

Hi. I have bought PC65.2C and CXX10 and want to buy amp for thees speakers and subwoofer. Can you suggest something, as I can not figure out which one chose. as for price, I would like cheaper)) Thanks a lot

[@jintannebril6384]

what speaker would you advise for the tweeter with the above set you just shared? tnx

[@Robbinsffxi]

Different manufacturers measuer Watts differently. Which one is right for this tutorial?

[@twsteeler7]

if you added the two extra speakers as you showed, would they need more watts to power them? you would have two 500 watt speakers on each channel so would you need a 1000 watt per channel amp?

[@arvingaviola27]

Almost there.. But here's what my friend taught me. Beware,there is math... Connecting two 500 watts on a 500 watts channel is fine and actually I can add even more speakers on that channel. However, remember the Ohms thingy? You will hear exactly 500 watts from both speakers. Each speakers is 500 watts @ 4 Ohms. The total impedance is 2 Ohms, as mentioned. The amp is 500 watts @ 4 Ohms, but what it did is played thru the numbers. Since total impedance is 2 Ohms, the amps can power its channel to 2 Ohms to match the speakers producing 1000 watts. Lower Ohms can produce higher wattage but too low Ohms (let's say 1 Ohm) is dangerous.

[@ricardorivera7948]

hello im ricky im about to buy my new mobile dj, and after i saw your tutorial video i thinlk im going to buy the CROWN 2002 power amplifier i really like it just because i can add 2 more speakers , now i have a question can i add a cd mixer to it , im not sure if i can and read the product features and specificacions but i couldnt figure out if i can can someone help me out please and thanks

[@LeChrizzle]

The rule of thumb no. 1 seems to be the other way around for guitar amps and cabinets!?! Why is that? People keep telling me not to overpower my guitar cab as I might blow the speakers. Common half stacks are 120watts amp + 240-300watts cab with matched impedances. Great video! Cheers

[@KolektorPhils]

best and simplest video abt this topic! question, why does my Aiwa speaker indicate that it has 7 ohms? i thought spkrs usually only came in 2,4,8 and 16 ohms.

[@PresenZrak]

man things get complicated in this comment section, but as much as I could summarize is that: --You need your speakers to have a higher rms than your amp, so even if you push the amp to it's limit, it won't overwhelm the speakers. This makes a little sense cause just last night I was trying out my Martin F8 speaker (150W AES/600W peak, 8ohm as it says in the manual) with my amp (which specs are below*) and I heard some clipping. Thats counting the 280w RMS from my amp and the 150w from the F8, which I took into consideration after watching this video. Amp output Power: 2 Ohms>650w RMS Per Channel* 4 Ohms>450w RMS Per Ch.* 8 Ohms>280w RMS Per Ch.* Also I tried a subwoofer (B&C 15PK40) thats 400w (Nominal, 800w Continous,) 8ohms and it had no clipping. I am somewhat new at taking into consideration the physics and numbers behind it so help me with this next one. --Am I going to screw something up if I connect: -two Martin F8s, in parralel in one channel, thus getting 4ohms of resistance, and on the other, if I connect -two 400w, 8ohm subwoofers just the same?

[@blackrosetiger135]

Presen Zrak you didn't hear clipping lmao Clipping is an electronic signal, so unless your ears are an oscilloscope you didn't hear clipping. DISTORTION is the result of clipping, and you can hear that, but actual clipping occures before a sound is produced.

[@fear30000]

Hey! I have two passive Sony speakers that put out 25W a piece and they have an impedance of 6 ohms and two Mackie CR3's that also put out 25W a piece and have no speaker wire inputs (RCA and AUX are my only options) . What specs should I look for in a receiver if I want to run all 4 of these speakers at once? Any help is greatly appreciated!

[@foxtone9]

Thanks Chris. Our system is a Yamaha EMX312SC mixer (300w) with two S112V Yamaha speakers (350 watt). Are we at risk right now with underpowering our speakers? One thing I still don't get - if we had say a 500 watt mixer, wouldn't we blow our 350 watt speakers if we turned the level all the way up?

[@vishnuucs]

Please advise me to select speakers for Pioneer vsx-531.Thanks

[@dahvanka]

what kind of speakers to use with this 55/30w bi-amplifier

[@uniquesquared]

This sounds like home stereo equipment. While the same logic in our tutorial is applicable, we are discussing live sound equipment. Without knowing the specifications of your 6 speakers, this is impossible to quantify. I would recommend consulting the manual that came with your home stereo equipment as that should provide the information for a proper installation.

[@CrackaJack022]

Yea i have a pair of behringer b212xl speakers. Theyre 200 continuous watts and 8 ohm. From this video i decided i needed a "300 watt 2 channel amp with 8 ohm load." Correct me if that is wrong please! Also, they were all around 300 dollars which is more than i payed for the damn speakers! Is there a cheaper solution? Please respond asap! Thanks

[@melvind.poloofficialytchan6856]

+CrackaJack022 u can atleast 250 watts per channel @ 8 ohms there's no problem with that...quite cheap that 300 watts model...

[@foxtone9]

Is it ok to use only one of the speakers with my PA, instead of the two? My group has a couple of practice spaces, and it would be nice if we could leave a speaker at each spot rather than travel with everything every time. Thanks for your help!

[@steveosbu]

so you are the only one that i have found that makes this make since. So my question is, I'm looking at buying 2 speaker cabs that have 2, 15" speakers in each one. the Impedance is 4 ohms. If i try to chain these together do i divide the ohms by amount of cabinets or by the number of speakers? probably a dumb question Behringer EUROLIVE VP2520 2000W

[@drummer468]

I work at a club that has a Peavey xr1212 mixer. The mixer has 2 600 watt power amps at 4 ohms each. We are running 2 Peavey SP 2s (1000 watts program) off one amp. Then, we're running 2 Peavey PV monitors (500 watts program) off the other. Am I correct in assuming that we are at least under powering the mains?

[@taineasy]

What should I use for my OHM Model 1 STEREO speakers. They will handle 1500 watts at 4 ohms.

[@ryandilello2080]

Hi I have a combo that is 30 watts and uses a 4 ohm 10" speaker. I am planning on turning the combo into a separate head and cab. when I make the cab, can I change the speaker to 8 ohm 12" without a problem?

[@nikollnikolli7819]

hi! I have two speakers 15'' 8 ohm.i would like to know how to find out how many watts are those speakers?thanks!

[@nikollnikolli7819]

the problem is that they have nothing written on them and do not know which brand they belong.therefore i asked you how to find out!

[@ronmerkus5941]

Google your speaker brand name and model

[@SoundwaveSamurai]

im looking for a power mixer to power a speaker column. it supposedly has only 75 watts (12 impedance). do i need a 112 watt (12 impedance) exactly or is there some wiggle room for the wattage. i'm actually thinking i should go for a more powerful mixer and a better speaker system but i could find a cheap system to power it then i would do it for now.

[@FarlyNisas]

How to get wattage of the speaker ? Should I use a tester? (I do not have the specification on it )

[@stevedierks74]

So, great video. Finally able to understand what all this stuff means and how to use it when getting speakers/amps and receivers. But i have a quite lengthy question for you. What i have: 5.1 surround system, VSX-321 - 600w total? 100w per channel. Two Behringer 2031A Truth Studio Monitors (TRS/TS to RCA) Now, i did some research and it states online that this model is 5.1 but can be converted to 7.1 using the RCA inputs in the back for AUX/Audio out (Left and right). I hooked it up, after some fiddling i got it to work, turned up the trim on the monitors but still can bearly hear anything out of them, they are both pre amped out of the box if that matters (ive turned this on and off to fix it) So then i read i need to buy a separate mini amp to just power the monitors because the receiver cant handle the regular satellites and the monitors. The X-over is set at 200 on the receiver by the way. So my questions are this: 1) Why do i need to buy a second amplifier for them, if they have one on the back of each the monitors? 2) Should i just go buy a newer model receiver to accommodate higher watts, and more channels - or would i still need a separate amp for the monitors (they are 140w max per monitor) (Also, i have a 4k monitor hooked up to my computer via PCM on my tv, so i really want to get one with 4k up-scaling to use it in surround while watching movies/gaming.) 3) TRS/TS better than the 5 pin (XLR?) round ones? I need to get an amp with rca's unless i can find cheap T/S's that convert to raw speaker wire. Is there a preference? Thanks in advanced for any replies, Steve.

[@hepheastusthefirst]

Hi there, I wanted to get a the Behringer iNUKE NU6000 which delivers 2 x 3000 Watts into 4 Ohms, 2 x 1500 Watts into 8 Ohms to power 4 Gemini GVX 15s at 500 watts RMS at 8 ohms. My question is this does the description by Behringer that the iNuke NU6000 delivers 2 x 1500watts into 8 ohms mean that each channel (the amp has two channels) on the amp delivers 1500 watts into 8ohms or the total power on both channels is 1500 watts into 8 ohms. Thanks

[@dmc20045]

[@leonard-pr3887]

[@drum101keane]

Hi i am considering buying a pair of behringer b2520 which run at 550w RMS and 2200w peak power, also the impedance is at 4ohms. which power amplifier would you recomend?

[@lloyd.8272]

You can blow a speaker with a high or low power amp. A low power amp that is over driven will clip causing distortion and damaged to the speaker. A high power amp can also over power the speaker causing distortion and damage. A higher power amp can also clip if over driven. Either way you need to be sensible, If you hear distortion you need to turn it down. Some amps like Denon let you set a maximum volume so there's no way of accidentally damaging your speakers.

[@rambow70]

So i have a setup I am looking to buy, it has speakers that has 60Wrms front and 100Wrms rear X4 for my car, both run at 2 ohms. So that is a total of 640watt rms needed. I found an amp by MB Quart (sq classification) that runs 160watt rms x4 @ 2 ohms, which is 640watt rms on the dot. Is this perfect or not enough? Since these numbers are not running their peak I should be safe?

[@FabianCharrua]

Outstanding job, KUDOS!. Im putting together a system using a DBX Driverack PA+ and I still can't figure out how to connect it all. Easy out of the DBX, 2 XLR's per high, mid and low L and R. . Then into the amp keeping L/R so far so good but how the heck do you connect the mid and highs coming out of the amp (Subs are easy. One speaker per box L/R) to my EV T-252 meaning there is 2 speakon connectors in the rear per box but how do I know which is high and which is mid? I did take the rear panel out and moved the fuses to one side which you're supposed to do to By-Amp it. Wish I could send you a picture of the rear panel of these old EV's T-252

When setting gains on amp you should first set your signal levels on the mixer to just before the red meter. Then turn your gains on the amp to your desired level which should never have to be up all the way.

It is safe to use 2 Magnat Vector 203 (or 2 magnat vector 201) speakers on the Pioneer A-10 amplifier?Apriciate the help!! Great video by the way thx for sharing.

[@shaazkaredia7551]

While you calculate 2 speaker per channel with impedence of 4 ohm becomes 2ohms, you forget to add up the power which makes it 500w +500w = 1000w per channel while the amp should be 1500w 50% more powerful than speaker load.

[@YatesNac]

Do I need to get an amp with more wattage if I want to add an additional (exactly the same specs) speaker per channel?

[@elliotpierson8350]

+Uniquesquared Isn't this not true? Isn't he asking to basically fill up the channels later on down the line? And aren't the amps rated at xxx watts per channel?

[@MattJasa]

Good info. Computer PSU's are kinda the same, you want to get more watts then needed or else your PSU will be less efficient at full load and run more hot and also will degrade sooner. Also a basic rule they say is to keep your cost ratio of the cpu and gpu at about 50/50 to avoid bottle necks. I wonder what the ratio would be for amp and speakers. 2/1? So roughly a $700 amp mates well with ~$400 speakers?

[@jepoyman8smelita]

I have a set of old speakers. Two 30W subwoofers with four 12W tweeters, then two 25W mid range speakers. All of which at 8ohms each. What would be my amplifier or how do I compute for the total watts so I would know what the capacity of the amplifier I need to get for them?

[@ab9957]

If you want to measure power at your speaker set a voltmeter to AC and measure right across the speaker terminals. Play a recording of a 1000 Hz tone rather than music. power(watts)= votage squared/ R R is speaker resistance in ohms. So you need about 2.8 volts across 8 ohms to produce 1 watt, you'll find that 1 watt of power is much louder than you think. Measure the resistance of your speaker first because some stamped as 8 ohms may measure less with meter.

[@TheSupertecnology]

I've been using a 60W stereo amp with 150W speakers (2 way). For almost 7 years it's been working with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Same amp, same speakers, almost 7 years. So it confuses me you say that having speakers of a higher power handling will damage the amp... [EDIT]: I think I get what you're saying now... overdriving an amp rated for a lower power output than that which the speakers can handle can actually burn them because of harmonic distortion!

[@livacreative]

[@jurg3n3stanislao]

I have PSB Alpha B1's rated with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms (some sources say it's rated 6 ohms) and recommended amplification of 10-90 watts (most probably the RMS). Does this mean that I need an amplifier capable of driving around 135 watts per channel (assuming 90 watts is the maximum RMS power--150% of that is 135 watts) in 8 ohms? Does this mean that my integrated tube amplifier and other amps that deliver 35-45 watts/channel at 8 ohms is not enough? Hope to hear from you.

I have two QSC 5050 amplifiers, CRest 4500 amplifier, 8 double 18 inch sub cabinets(8 ohms), 4 double 21 inch sub cabinets(8 ohms), 4 double 15 inch mid cabinets/horns, Mackie Board mixer, DBX 266XL equalizer, Nady cross-over, and a DBX compressor. I daisy chain both QSC amplifiers and set them in bridge mode. However, I would like to know how to daisy chain the 8 double 18 inch cabinets and the 4 double 21 inch sub cabinets on both QSC amplifiers? Or is that even possible? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Slightly confused when the video expresses that a 2ohm rating for the speakers (individually) is too low for the amp to handle...yet, when 2x 4ohm speakers are in parallel...making 2 ohms, it's ok. Is this just because the original resistance of the speakers is 4ohms so adding extras in parallel (and hence reducing resistance/impedence) is fine? I'm new at this. Sorry for dumb question.

[@jackjohnson2775]

Ok, made a mistake there...he says that THIS amp can run on 2ohms.

So my Polk tsx 110b which is probably 80w or something which is powered by 35w marantz amp is bad for the amplifier in long run?

if an amp only has specs that state a minimum watt value, in my case its 100W, what does this mean in terms of how much power it can send out?

I need to know if this amp and speaker will match. Proel M1500USB Powered Mixer to 2 Alto MS15 Passive Speakers. The Powered mixer has Output Power (THD

best explanation i've ever seen

Hey Hopefully i'm not asking something that has been asked beofore, but the amp that u are using can handle 2 ohms which means it wont die or anything nd the speakers would be fine aswell but when running 2 speakers each side would you lose power because you are not running 4 ohms you are only running 2?

This video just solved every single problem I had and showed me everything I need to know, than you so much!

I want to put these new rockford fosgate speakers that I got in my truck. I am really having problems with how to power them. They are 80 watts rms a pair and 320 peak power a pair. I have an amp that puts out 400 watts x 4. Can I put my front speakers on a channel and my back speakers on a channel even though the rms is 160 a pair and my amp will be giving them 400 watts?
