1344412	2013-06-01 04:49:00	Right no greater then 15 watt.. I will go on a hunt.. might come across them on trade me :)	mark1978 (13845)
1344413	2013-06-01 10:11:00	I can only operate it on the amp itself as it does not have a remote. That could be the problem. Most likely you need the remote to change the speaker surround mode, it could just be in stereo mode at the moment so only the front left & right speakers will work and possibly the sub. It needs to be in 5.1 mode to get all speaker outputs going.	CYaBro (73)
1344414	2013-06-01 13:54:00	So if you want more speakers they shouldn't be any greater than 15 watts. :) Not sure that makes total sense... As far as I know, as long as you don't let the amplifier start clipping there should be no problem.	Agent_24 (57)
1344415	2013-06-01 21:25:00	Will that's the theory I work with and have been for over 40 years. :)	Trev (427)
1344416	2013-06-02 02:28:00	Will that's the theory I work with and have been for over 40 years. :) I would have thought impedance would matter more, for example.	Agent_24 (57)
1344417	2013-06-02 21:13:00	Am getting the remote on Tuesday! Then I will try again, YES it is on stereo mode at the moment! I am a firm believer that those 2 little speakers are for the front and not for the back, I WILL try the other 2 speakers again on tuesday to use them as rear speakers... will post again then	mark1978 (13845)

Also what input are you using? most of those are stero only inputs and might not output anything to the rear by default. Use the 5.1 inputs, if you don't have a 5.1 source set the volume very low and try connecting the rear inputs of the 5.1 to your left and right stereo source - see what happens. It may be that without the remote you are a bit limited in what you can do, most surround sytems will generate rear output from stero inputs but generally it needs to be enabled first.	dugimodo (138)

Anyway, you can connect any wattage speakers to any wattage amp without damaging it, running 100W speakers at 15 Watts is no different than turning the volume down on a 100W amp... The other way around has the potential to blow up the speakers, eg 100W amp, 15W speakers - but even then at lower volumes there is no issue. The efficiency in dB/W can be an issue, low power speakers are often more efficient which = louder at the same power input and high power speakers sometimes need more power to produce good sound for the same reason. The impedance is what matters. The lower the impedance the more current a speaker will draw from the amp so an amp designed for 8 ohm speakers can potentially be damaged by connecting 4 ohm ones which is twice the load. Again though, it can work as long as you don't turn the volume all the way up (albeit with an impedance mismatch possibly affecting the sound and the potential to destroy something if you turn it up too far). Many home systems have dual impedance, sometimes with a switch, and support both 4 and 8 ohms.	dugimodo (138)
