AS long as the impedance is a match you can use any speake with any amp. But if the power ratings are too mismatched don't expect it to sound that good. If the amp is stronger than the speaker, the speaker can be damaged if you crank the amp up high. And if you hook an amp to a too strong speaker the amp might have trouble powering it properly.

What is louder sub on 300 watt amp 10'' 300 watt or 10'' 600 watt?
They can be as loud, as the amp is not delivering 600 watts. The 10" sub rated at 600 watts is able to withstand more power.
What will a 3000 watt amp do to a 300 watt speaker?
It will have the potential to over drive the speaker elements and can cause distortion and potential speaker damage.
Can you blow out your speakers if you use the wrong power amplifier?
Speakers can be blown if the wrong power amplifier is used and damage can be done by either overpowering or underpowering the amp. For example, if the power rating of the speaker is 300 watts capacity you will need a 300- to 600-watt amp.
Can you use a 600 watt amp with a 500 watt subwoffer?
yes
Will it sound bad if you use a 400 watt speaker with a 300 watt amp?
No, that's just the maximum capacity of the speakers. You can always run them at less than their maximum rating.
Can a 1200 watt amp power a 300 watt box?
yes it can
Can you use 2x500 watt subs on a 600 watt amp?
Absolutely!! If you turn up the gain too much, the speakers will smoke. You can use it at a lower level
Can a twin 300 watt speaker destroy a 250 amp?
I am not a sound man but an electrician. But as I understand it, speakers only receive power. So if you connect 300 watt speakers to a 250 watt amp, you can only get 250 watts out of the speakers. If this understanding is correct, this could not blow your amp. I might say, however, that in most things electrical, they are not intended to be used at maximum output for very long. So if this understanding stays true with sound equipment, then running your 250 watt amp at maximum output in an attempt to get 300 watts out of it, this could shorten the life of your amp even though you never actually overload it.
Can a 1200 watt amp power a 1300 watt sub?
It's actually a good idea to have a speaker that can handle higher wattage than the amp can produce.
Can you use a 52 watt stereo with 1000 watt speakers?
sure you can, your amp will only deliver 52 watts to the speaker, more importend would be the impedance of the speaker . it should be equal to what your amp has! may be 8 ohms
Can a 1200 watt amp give good bass to 2 kicker cvr 12's?
It depends on the rms of the two cvrs combined. Also if the 1200 watt amp is 1200 watt rated (rms) or 1200 watt peak. Lets say the two kickers have an rms of 600 watt each, and the amp is 1200 watt rms, which it probably isnt but i'll pretend. This set up would work because 600 of the amps watts would be correctly matched with one sub, and the other 600 would go to the other sub.
Will an amp of 1400-watt with 700-watt rms blow a sub with 1100-watt peak and 600-watt rms?
nope your powering it just right
