You can only run 4ohm speakers and the amp is non bridgeable. Even worse it only puts out 45 watts per channel. Would make a decent paperweight.

Interesting. I learn something everyday on here. I honestly didn't know JM had 4 ohm speakers. Do you have a model number?

That's what I thought, but I don't know much.

OP, need to know specs of the speaker to know what amp might help. What kind of budget do you have this?

No worries Hawg! I go all the way back to 05-06 with JM and every speaker I ever purchased from JM was a 2 ohm speaker. It was their claim to fame back in the day. More efficient, Lightweight, Blah, Blah, Blah! I'd say the speakers you have are 2 ohms as well.

So what you want to do is get a nice set of 4 ohm speakers and a 2 or 4 ohm compatible amp.
