There is no such thing, 30 watts is 30 watts. "Line in" is normally about 1v peak - to - peak. So if your 30 watt amp has a "line out", no problem. An amp can be modified to have a "line out". Similarly, an amp can be modified to accept larger inputs without damage. However, driving an amp straight from the normal output of an amp, although possible, is fraught with danger and expensive consequence and should be avoided at all costs

Can I use a preamp into a speaker?

You need a power amplifier in between.


Can you use a400 watt speaker with150 watt amp?

You can, but the problem is your speakers will not give their optimal sound quality because your Amplifier is too weak for the speakers. So,buy an amplifier with an output power rating high then 400w.


Will a 1200 watt amplifier blow out a 1000 watt subwoofer?

Technically, yes. Practically, no. Amplifiers and speakers are rated by the maximum amount of power (and at what impedance) they can handle. A 1200 watt amplifier will eventually destroy a 1000 watt speaker if it is operated at maximum power. In normal use, however, you rarely even get close to maximum rating.


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


How many watt amplifier will power two 15 inch speakers?

50 watts is a good amplifier size for use in the house. For other applications speakers usually have a power rating.


How do you test the output of an acoustic guitar preamp?

To test the output of an acoustic guitar preamp you may use output tubes to test. This will test the preamp voltage.


Could a phono drive be used as an amplifier for a mixing desk?

It's not clear what you mean by "phono drive". If you are asking about using a phono preamp as a microphone or instrument preamp and sending the output of the preamp to the mixer, you will find that the phono preamp has two problems:First, it does not have anything close to flat frequency response. Phono preamps are designed with a strong equalization curve, which compensates for the EQ that is used when high-fidelity recordings are mastered. You will get lots of bass and no highs if you try to run a mic or instrument signal through a phono preamp.Second, you may find that it does not have a lot of headroom. A phono preamp is sensitive and a microphone or instrument could drive it into saturation.For the same reasons, you certainly cannot use a phono preamp as a line-level amplifier in a mixer.If you happen to be asking if you can use a Mod Squad or McCormack Phono Drive as a preamp for a turntable and run the output of the Phono Drive (as line level) into a DJ mixing desk, then the answer is yes, that should work quite nicely (even though the Phono Drive is, in my opinion, an absurdly overpriced piece of gear).

What amplifiers does Adrian smith use?

He uses a Marshall DSL100 amplifier with two 300-Watt Marshall 1960A Angled-Front 4x12 Cabs and in these cabinets there are 75-Watt Celestion G12-T75 Speakers.


Will a 4 ohm 800 watt sub woofer work well with a 8 ohm 800 watt amplifier?

Sorry, but there is no 8 ohm amplifier on the market, when you mean the output impedance. The impedance is always 0.5 ohms or less. We don't use impedance matching, we use voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units - power amplifier and passive loudspeaker".sorry yourself any power amplifier has an impedance matching characteristic's He is asking would it work my answer is yes but not as efficient as originally designed

your question is very badly phrased... you dont install a pedal onto an amp. but if you mean you want to use a guitar pedal on a 15 watt amp, of course you can!
