The amp will produce80 watts into an 8 ohm load and nearly double into a 4 ohm load. The Titans are capable of handling 90 watts and suppossedly present an 8 ohm load. The extra power will not create a problem. More likely to blow a tweeter from an amp that is pushed too hard (into clipping) than from overdriving the speaker. You would need an active crossover and another amp to drive a passive subwoofer. .
compatability confusion for newbie, yamaha ca-1010
i am setting up a new system, purchased mint ca-1010, rated at 90 watts into 8 ohms, almost double into four etc. i am looking at powering paradigm titans 8 ohms 80 watts, and a passive svs sub 4 ohms 350 watts with it. it has a coupling switch on the back. on or off. i don't understand ohms. is there a swtch or something that determines what the amp puts out4 or 8 or is it the speakers themsevles that determine what they need and take it? will this setup work?
