can the fxi a4 surrounds handle 350wpc

deseroner

i just got another amp it is 350wpc 8ohm,wondering if the fxi a4's can handle the juice without ripping out,lol. i know it is 20-120watts, can the fxi50 handle that power.

Sherardp

Sure they can handle it. You'll probably never reach 120 watts with normal viewing anyway. It's usually not enough power that causes the problem with speaker damage.

i was wondering who has the watt peak of this speaker and fxi50,not the normal watt the max peak.

I'm confused - wasn't this thread answered the other day?

You can connect them to any amp, as long as you don't turn them up too loud. If everything is connected and calibrated properly, you'll lose your hearing first, THEN you might damage the speaker.

wow, 350 WPC for the rears? I wonder how much do you have for the fronts? 1000 WPC?

It doesn't really matter as only a few watts will be used....and the transients are instantaneous.

ok i am considering some klipsch s-35 , ks-7 and fxi50 anyone tried these out on a 300+ amp I have four amps, 2 carver pm 1.5 ,one for lsic, one for rti12's 450wpc, and pm900 350wpc for surrounds, and rears i have carver tfm-15cb 100 wpc owm3.which i need is a strong surround.my onkyo nr-708 is the processor.plus 2 subs ksw-10, athena 4000 sub.

Dude, your too hung up on the watts thing. Klipsch speakers are pretty easy to drive, I see alot of wasted wattage going on that route.
Maybe if you tell us what exactly your trying to accomplish, or what you don't like about your rig, we can better help ya out.

+1 to what Tony said.

Not only that, is the entire setup you listed your home theater system?

You might want to work on timbre-matching first, at least your front soundstage. From the looks of it, you just got a bunch of good (but mismatching) speakers and threw them altogether expecting them to sound good.

There is no such thing as driving a speaker with too much power. The more good clean wattage a speaker is getting, the better. Odds are, the speakers would never even draw anywhere close to that amps full power output though, especially in surround positions. A speaker is only going to draw as much power as it needs at any given moment. Most of the time, they'll only be drawing a few watts from the amp.
