... because I know nothing about speakers and amps and stuff, but I'm willing to learn.
My friend down the road has electronic equipment from his roommate, a sound engineer and local radio personality, who passed a few years ago. There is enough to do professional grade recordings and broadcast a radio station, which he did for some years. In this extensive collection of boards, mixers, and vintage microphones is a pair of speakers that used to be in a movie theatre. Unfortunately an amplifier or something went out and my friend can't use the speakers, which he says at full tilt will blow the windows out.
My question is, do speakers that size need an amp of some minimal amount of power to make them work; does the amp need a specific amount of power to be able to push the speakers?
