• Yes. Those will be fine. However, you never want to turn the volume up past about half way. With such a low powered system, you will overdrive your amp. I would sugest an upgrade to your system if/when you can afford one. More watts are not needed to get louder as much as they are to provide cleaner audio. A lower powered amp will more easily send a distorted signal to your speakers. This will damage them more so then a higher output amp will. A "clipped" (or distorted) signal can not be easily handled by speakers. Whereas a clean signal can be reproduced by a speaker, even if the power being sent is in excess of the handling rating of said speaker.
