what do you suggest as a power amp

[Aes820]

You sure they are 2 ohm speakers? That's pretty low for speakers.

But, if they are 2 ohm speakers, rated for 600 watts program. Then go for a poweramp that is rated at around 400 watts while at 4 ohms.

2 ohm speakers aren't incredibly uncommon in car systems, i think. But You don't see many 2R PA speakers.

Yeah. That'll work fine.

The poweramp will pump out 2x 300 watts, ehereas the speakers can handle up to 500 watts.

This will be fine if 300 watts is enough for your needs. And in many cases it may be. But you can always upgrade further by getting a bigger poweramp if you wish.

how big of space could i play in and still be heard

[hantge30]

oh and did you say it can handle up to 500 watts-doesnt it say 500 RMS and 1000 peak
what is RMS

[hantge30]

if anyone could give me a site or somthing to help me on this-i need help on all Pa sstuff

[hantge30]

anyone?

RMS is basically the rating that matters. if the speakers are 500 RMS and 1000 peak, you don't want to go over 500 watts.
