connecting low 145 RMS WATT speaker in 165 RMS WATT home theatre system

[EmSpecial]

guys dont know if its correct place to ask this question but help will be appriciated, the problem is my original home theatre speaker fried up. tried repair it gets fried over and over again. now getting the same speaker of same series of sony home theatre butits power in RMS is less than my home theatres power. ( mine one is 1000rms and i am getting 850rms home theatre speaker). is it good to connect it ? or it will harm my theatre or blow the speaker again ? thanks

no. speakers rms must be higher than amp rms [MENTION=13107]EmSpecial[/MENTION]

You can use it fairly easily. As long as you set the amplifier gains low enough.

Or if you have options you can simply wire it up to give the amplifier a higher resistance and take down RMS wattage output. Wiring speakers in series raises the resistance.

how exactly i can do that ? [MENTION=2140]Sire Ahsan[/MENTION]
i am new to this stuff.

i have HTIB system. all the speakers are wired at their respective channels. i have only burned down my single one way speaker. and just got its replacement with the speaker of home theatre whose output power per channel is 143w RMS. which is lower than mine ones.
this is not speaker's RMS power its actually amp's itsself output power.

On an amplifier ... RMS is the power it can give out continuously. This is usually at 80% of the volume.

On a speaker ... RMS is the power it can handle continuously.

This single speaker. Is this the subwoofer ? Is there anyway to set the volume/gain for this particular channel/speaker from the amplifier ? If yes, then you will have no issues at all. Just need to lower the gain/volume for that channel by 20-30%

its my rear left speaker and
yes there is something on my HTIB setup to lower down . its in dBs . but i guess it only works when i play a dvd on it not on a tv out mode. because that system only pops up on DVD mode . but not on TV out mode.

thanks sire ahsan. i check it and yes it has gain option per channel. now i will simply reduce rear left channel to -1 dB so it will work perfectly. going to buyy that speakerr. mods can close the thread and mark it as solved.
