How to match speakers and amps

[Shughez12]

I am trying to build a system for my boat. The speakers that were in there were no good. I currently have 4 speaker 200w /100w rms from my last boat and I have

280w rms amp
2 ohm Power Output110W x4 RMS
4 ohm Power Output70W x4

Will this amp work? Also how do I match speakers and amps? Thank you

Probably 4 ohm speakers, which will work fine on your amp. They will get 70 watts per speaker. Just a little under power, but still ok. Do you have brands of amp and speakers?

That amp power will work fine wired to 4 ohms x4 on the speakers you have. Use what you have.

Speakers are just cheap Pyles from my last project (brand new) amp is a Soundstage. Went more budget just to get some tunes into the boat

Two sets of Deaf Bonce 6-½" Arnold's. Run with it. Wolfram also makes some great 8" Marine speakers if you can find them.

Nothing wrong with that at all. Pyle has been around for a while and still make decent speakers for the money. At least you have some tunes. Id be happy with that in general.

Polk Audio make some nice Marine speakers too. But Hell.. If you have something and have an option to use what you have?? Run it!!
