Question about speakers and amp.

[Domino_]

Hey guys, so if speaker parameters are:

~~3-way bass reflex system~~
600W max output

and amp parameters are:

2 x 250W max output.

Than it means that i can get max 250w on one speaker, and its 500w on both not 1200w (what's theyr peak) ?

[or3o]

is this for car audio? and what brand are they?  because generally amps always say the max wattage anyway, look to find the rms wattage on the amp. if you can provide a bit more info im sure i can help. If this is car audio depending on the quality of the amp it could be pushing as little as 250 watts rms anyway. If the speakers are rated at 300 watts each i would run them around 150 watts rms just so you dont have to worry about blowing them, if you run em at max all the time they wont last long at all.

Theyr indoor speakers. Amp too xD

Here is sets , and i cant decide witch one is better and i should take. by price and quality. ( prices are in USD )

I have idea to buy one pair of this set - [http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/Blue-Star-Series-Bass-Veteran-Quadro-PA-DJ-3200w-Set_i2684.htm](http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/Blue-Star-Series-Bass-Veteran-Quadro-PA-DJ-3200w-Set_i2684.htm) ( + speakers have light effect. And all togeather is kinda cheap). (379.90)

Also I thought theese are good but theyr only max 2k w - [http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/DJ-PA-Package-Bronx-Buster-2000W-Disco-Set_i7253.htm](http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/DJ-PA-Package-Bronx-Buster-2000W-Disco-Set_i7253.htm) (Lower than upper ones.)(399.90 kidna expensive.)

Theese actually are kinda good with amp in it - [http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/Ibiza-AMP15-Active-DJ-PA-Speaker-15-Inch-Bass-900W_i3451.htm](http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/Ibiza-AMP15-Active-DJ-PA-Speaker-15-Inch-Bass-900W_i3451.htm) ( 139.90 for one and its 179.80 for two)

Also there are - [http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/DJ-PA-System-DJ-14-PA-Amplifier-and-Speaker-Set-1000W_i4824.htm](http://www.hifi-tower.co.uk/DJ-PA-System-DJ-14-PA-Amplifier-and-Speaker-Set-1000W_i4824.htm) (124.90 for 1kw peak and if you buy 3 pairs its 374.70 for 3k w peak)

Also maybe you can suggest better place to buy speakers?

Are you trying to just go for loud bass or sound quality?  because a 15 inch sub is gonna sound way different than a set of tower speakers.

So

1\. Blue Star Series "Bass Veteran Quadro" PA DJ 3200w Set

 + Quality

 + More w on set.

2\. Ibiza AMP15 Active DJ PA Speaker 15" Inch Bass - 900W

 + Better bass

 + Amp in speaker

1 on will give qualiti and loudness but not so mutch bass as second yes?

And amplified speakers have max 1800 w but first speakers have only 1000 w because of amplifiers who have 2 x 250w each. yes?

And who are better for party up to for up to 100 ppl in assembly hall? I think the first one, but i dont want to get shitty set. ^^

p.s.

Lol just watced video hot that 15 inch speaker looks, *, imma afraid of them cuz theyr from paper, im used to see normal car speakers xD also subs are so plain, and not moving mutch ^^

p.s.s.

~~DJ PA Package "Bronx Buster" 2000W Disco Set(the second one) looks best from theese 4 organizating party in assembly hall.~~  cheap and unsafe xD

If you would have chance to get one of theese, which would you take?

1) Two passive and Two sub (£439.99)

Brand: Ekho

   Speaker Type: Passive (Full Range)

   Power Output: 300W RMS / 600W Max

   SPL@1W/1M (dB): 102

   Frequency Range (Hz): 30HZ-20KHZ

   +

   Speaker Type: Bass Bin/Subwoofer

   Power Output: 400W RMS / 800W Max

   SPL@1W/1M (dB): 99

   Frequency Range (Hz): 30HZ-300HZ

or

2) Two of tower(£299.99)

Brand: Ekho

   Speaker Type: Passive (Full Range)

   Power Output: 600W RMS / 1200W Max

Theyr all 15"

1st is with 2k w amp second with 1500w amp.

Any1 help, which would pay back better with time? :D

[or3o]

I would go with option 1 because from the looks of it the full range speakers will be louder but hopefully that 2k watt amp is running around 700 watts rms because if it runs any higher it would eventually damage the speakers. and how many channels is the amp?

Isnt 2channel 2kw amp bit too weak for 4 speakers? But yea it will be more safer with weaker amp to not blow up speakers, am i right?

[or3o]

   its only a 2 channel amp so it should be fine with 2 speakers as long as they can handle the wattage, but you could run as many speakers as you want (provided they are the exact same)   like if you bought 2 sets of the tower speakers and wired 2 speakers into each imput, then instead of sending 750 watts per channel to each set of speakers it would divide that by the amount of speakers. SO you would need 2 sets of speakers that can handle half the wattage if you wanted, honestly its all prefrence and depends on what you plan on doing with this setup.

But amp will handle 2 full range speakers and 2 subwoofers, It will throw out like 1kw rms on 4 of theese speakers?
Or better I should get 2 amps for 4 speakers?
