matching amp to speakers..help!

Kenny DNK · 2014-02-25 17:02:43

looking at buying new tops and bins for the band... they are 500rms/800peak each @ 8ohms.. 4 speakers in total, two each side. At what ohms do I need to match the amp and at what power for best sound and longevity of speakers? Thanks in advance for any advice
