Yes it can. The rated power of the speakers is the MAXIMUM that can be applied. If more power is supplied, damage can occur. Either the speech coil can blow or mechanical damage to the cone or suspension units.
As the amplifier is below this rating, it will not supply more power than the speakers can handle and will be perfectly safe.

Yes but it will not be as loud as a bigger amp.

Yes, just don't play too loud. 85 W is only a little bit louder than 35 watts (4 dBs).

Can a 1200 watt amp power a 300 watt box?

yes it can


Will 300 watt kicker amp push two tens?

It depends on the specific power-handling capabilities of the subwoofers and their impedance. If the subwoofers have a total power handling capacity that is lower than 300 watts and the amplifier can provide enough power at the required impedance, then it should be able to adequately power the two tens. However, if the subwoofers have a higher power handling capacity or the amplifier cannot provide enough power, it may not be sufficient.


If you have two 300 watt subwoofers for your vehicle then what size amp do you need?

To power two 300 watt subwoofers, you will need an amplifier with a maximum power output of at least 600 watts. It is recommended to choose an amplifier with a slightly higher wattage rating to ensure that the subwoofers receive enough power for optimal performance.


How big of amp to run 650 watt speakers?

Speaker wattage is a measure of the power handling capability of the speaker. This assumes a clean un-clipped signal from the amp. The spec you need is Sensitivity: Sound Pressure Level (in db) with 1 watt input of a 1khz signal measured at distance of 1 meter from the speaker. Highly efficient speakers are going to be around 96/98 db. If your speaker is rated at 93 db 1watt/1meter, then it will take twice as much amplifier power to run it up to 96 db. Depending on whether you want your ears to bleed, most speakers will do quite well with 100 watt or so high quality amplifiers. Keep in mind, if you want extreme volumes get a 200/300 watt amp or better to give you the headroom needed to keep signals from clipping and blowing your speakers. This answer assumes the question was for home stereo.

Can you blow out your speakers if you use the wrong power amplifier?

Speakers can be blown if the wrong power amplifier is used and damage can be done by either overpowering or underpowering the amp. For example, if the power rating of the speaker is 300 watts capacity you will need a 300- to 600-watt amp.


What speakers match a 300 watt 4 channel amplifier?

The ratings for the speakers will depend upon what '300 watts' means. If the amplifier develops 300 watts RMS total across 4 channels, this would indicate 75 watts RMS per channel. Speakers rated at 100 watts should suffice for this amplifier.


What amplifiers does Adrian smith use?

He uses a Marshall DSL100 amplifier with two 300-Watt Marshall 1960A Angled-Front 4x12 Cabs and in these cabinets there are 75-Watt Celestion G12-T75 Speakers.


Will 760 watt 2 channel amp power two 300 watt sub woofers?

Yes, but the amp is too powerful and if turned up to full volume will blow the speakers.


What size amp do you need for 6 and a half Sony speakers that has 190 Watt peak power and 40 rms and Sony 6 by 9 speakers that has 300 Watt peak power and 60 rms?

200 RMS 4 channel or 2 channel so u know add the rms of the speakers to find the amp rms needed

If you have a 300 watt RMS and 1000Watt peak power sub-woofer what rating of an amplifier should one consider using?

an amp with 300 or less rms wattage output and 1000 or less peak wattage output.

Can a twin 300 watt speaker destroy a 250 amp?

I am not a sound man but an electrician. But as I understand it, speakers only receive power. So if you connect 300 watt speakers to a 250 watt amp, you can only get 250 watts out of the speakers. If this understanding is correct, this could not blow your amp. I might say, however, that in most things electrical, they are not intended to be used at maximum output for very long. So if this understanding stays true with sound equipment, then running your 250 watt amp at maximum output in an attempt to get 300 watts out of it, this could shorten the life of your amp even though you never actually overload it.

If you have a sub woofer with 400 watts continuous power and 800 watts peak power do you need a 400 watt amp or a 800 watt amp?

well, your lookin at RMS when it comes to speakers and amps, if you bought a 800 watt amp, you would be looking at 400 RMS just as you do with your speakers, i would recommend a 1600 watt amp, just for the fact that you always want a little play room with your amp, this way you wont blow the amp, (amps are more expensive than speakers), and if you decide that you want to get bigger speakers, you will not have to replace the amp. But all in all, i would say anywhere from 1200 to 1600 would do just fine for your sub..-Shocker
