OK folks, I pulled the trigger on the Kappas because of all the good info on here. Now my concern. I thought these would handle 150w each but documentation I've read says 75w ea. I've got a power acoustic RZ4-2000 amp. Am I gonna run into trouble with this combo or am I ok as long as I set gains down a bit?

Thanks fellers. (And ladies)

 

NO WORRIES at all. my bro runs the 2000.4 with the kappa's.
kappa's can handle more than that, in fact it can handle the BT2180 (rated at 300+W RMS @ 2 ohm.

 

Yeah That!! Pay no attention to the 75 watt rating. Those kappa's are a beast when it comes to taking power. They just get better with more power.

 

That amp really only pushes about 90w. See AAWAV amp test sticky up top.

Those speakers can take a beating with plenty of clean power, and the more juice you give them the better they will sound. I ran that set-up and it's plenty loud.

 

Bench test results were 91w@ 4ohm, and 140 @2ohm so definately looking at the higher output on kappas at 2ohm.

Thanks everyone. As usual, best info on the net!

 

Ahhh....yeah good catch. Was going off of memory.

I had those speakers connected to a PPI 900.4 (same as the Soundstream TN4.900) and that one I think pushed about 220 at 2ohm along with some Pioneer 6X9's inside my bags and it sounded fantastic. Loud as hell and the added bass from the Pionners was a killer combo. Moral of the story --- I gave those speakers a TON of juice and they sounded great.

 

Right on! Now I just gotta be patient 'til they get here.
(Hurry, hurry, hurry)

 

Hey HAZE, Get your FACTS in a row LMAO

 

Hey man. I swapped out 8 amps in 4 weeks....the numbers get crossed up sometimes!
