What amp for 4 polk 6.5 tower speakers?

[jmvotto]

All Im saying is that 60W RMS is stamped right on the magnet.

Yeah i think its a clerical error on there site.

For conventional tower speakers we use a ton of the JL Audio J2 360.2 which is less than $170.

So since thats a 2-channel amp, you would just use each channel to power 2 speakers wired in a series? And that would still supply enough power to each?

You would have a total of four conductors running up the tower, L +&- plus R +&-. The two left speakers would be wired in parallel for a 2-ohm load and the same with the right. The JL amplifier is comfortable with a 2-ohm load.

Trebor,

As David says, you run one pair of speaker wires (+ and -) to each side of the tower, connect the speaker wires to one speaker, then connect the first speaker to the second by wiring the positives together and wiring the negatives together. Do the same for the other side. The amp will see a 2 ohm load per channel. The JL amp puts out 180W continuous per channel at 2 ohms and since you are pushing two speakers with each channel, each speaker would get 1/2 of that, or 90W which is plenty for the db651's.

Hope that helps.
