Can I run these speakers using this amp ?

Forgive me but never been that up on ICE technical stuff.

 

Can anyone confirm if I would be able to run a set of DLS Reference Series component fronts (6.5" 2-ways in doors and dome dweeters in mirror triangles) and set of Infinity Kappa 6 x 9"'s using this amp ?

I take it you mean power output 40w x4 not 40w x2 ? 2 channels for front speakers and 2 channels for back speakers. Probably round about 60 watts x4 rms would be good for those speakers. 40w is a bit low if those figures you qoute are rms. :)

40w is a bit low if those figures you qoute are rms. :)

 

And phenomenally low if it's PMPO! :)

 

The amp will work, but if you clip a weak amp you're more likely to destroy the speakers than by overdriving them with a more powerful amp.

Hi on the Amp does it say what the RMS value is for each channel? if it matches or is lower than what the speakers are rated to then it wil be ok to use. if the RMS value is higher than the speakers you could run the amp on them as long as it was not turned up too much on the amp. if the speakers are cheap ones anyway it does not matter. If you want really lould sound try putting you head closer to the speakers, it helps with me. :drinking:
