Yes, but just be careful with the volume - damage will only occur if used at high volumes for long periods of time (Hours) for normal listening at home it is not a problem

Yes


Can you hook a 200 watt amplifier to a 120 watt sub woofer?

Yes it should be all right. Ratings for amp/speakers are approximate but as a rule it is preferable for the speaker to be rated higher than the amp.


What does 200Wx4 mean?

200Wx4 means you have 200 watts times 4 channels. Meaning you can get 200 watt speakers for the four corners of your car and the radio you have that has 200Wx4 will power them equally


How many watts will power two 10 inch 800 watt speakers?

Up to 1600 watts amplifier. Less wattage will still power speakers but at a reduced volume level. Wattage is power. If you expect to fill a living room with sound, it would only require about 200-500 watts with good quality speakers. If you want to fill a banquet hall, then you would probably be looking at thousands of watts 2000-10000 watts depending on size of hall.


What size amp do you need for 6 and a half Sony speakers that has 190 Watt peak power and 40 rms and Sony 6 by 9 speakers that has 300 Watt peak power and 60 rms?

200 RMS 4 channel or 2 channel so u know add the rms of the speakers to find the amp rms needed


What watt amplifier will power a 15 inch sub-woofer?

Any amp will power a 15" sub. What you need to know is what is the RMS of the 15" sub. Lets say its 200 watts RMS than you will want a max of 200 watts for your amp.


You are looking for speakers for DJing and you have a 600 Watt amp. What kind of speakers do you buy?

With 600 watts, you can't really go too big, and if you only have one amp, you can't go with separate mids/highs and a sub, so personally, I would try to find a pair of 200 watt speakers that have nice tweeters, mids, and lows, all in one. Don't go for anything over 200 watts each, because you want to leave room on your amp. You don't want to get two 300 watt speakers, because your amp will be working at full power, which isn't good for it or your new speakers. So all in all, a nice pair of 200 watt full range speakers is what I would be looking for.


An RF amplifier amplifies the incoming signal by 200 times Calculate the power gain of this amplifier in dB?

If an RF amplifier amplifies the incoming signal by 200 times, the power gain of the amplifier is +25.9 dB. Power is proportional to voltage squared, so the power gain is 400. The decibel scale is 3 times log2 of the power change.


Is a 1000 watt power amplifier enough to power a 1000 watt subwoofer?

watt rating of a speaker is max power it can handle without getting damaged. it will produce proportionate amount of sound for less power from amp., even for 1 watt.The power output ratings for most amplifiers are very misleading. That number,i.e.,1000 watt , is under one certain type of condition for 1 second. Usually the frequency of 1khz for 1 second. The true output under actual operating conditions 20hz-20Khz is probably closer to 100 actual watts of music power or sound reproduction power. The same with the speaker rating,,,the power rated is at the same conditions Max power @ certain frequency @ certain amount of time.Safest bet,,,,,always use a larger rated speaker for an amplifier. If you have a 200 watt amp,,,use a speaker rated a minimum of 200 watts,,,,400 is better.


Can speakers with a max rating of 200 watts be connected to an 80 watt receiver?

Yes you can, but You might get damage your receiver.


How big of amp to run 650 watt speakers?

Speaker wattage is a measure of the power handling capability of the speaker. This assumes a clean un-clipped signal from the amp. The spec you need is Sensitivity: Sound Pressure Level (in db) with 1 watt input of a 1khz signal measured at distance of 1 meter from the speaker. Highly efficient speakers are going to be around 96/98 db. If your speaker is rated at 93 db 1watt/1meter, then it will take twice as much amplifier power to run it up to 96 db. Depending on whether you want your ears to bleed, most speakers will do quite well with 100 watt or so high quality amplifiers. Keep in mind, if you want extreme volumes get a 200/300 watt amp or better to give you the headroom needed to keep signals from clipping and blowing your speakers. This answer assumes the question was for home stereo.


Your speakers will handle 400 watts but start to disort at 200 watts?

The speaker impedance does not match the amplifier's specified speaker impedance.
