[QUOTE="Spike243, post: 7380149, member: 630826"] 1. if you have a dmm you can set the gains on the amp to match the speakers' rms If you cant do that then running them 50watts over the speakers' rms shouldn't hurt them too much as long as you watch your volume and don't go ballistic with it 2. Most amps will function properly at up to 16 ohms so that shouldn't be a problem. The big thing though is that most amps make less power at higher ohm loads. For example if an amp makes 200 watts at 4 ohms then it might only make 100 watts at 8 ohms. Check the specs on the amp to see what kind of power it makes at certain ohm loads. [/QUOTE]
