Sorry, there is no 4 ohm amplifier in the world. It's a myth. A loudspeaker amplifier has an output impedance of less than 0.5 ohm. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. That means the output impedance of the amplifier is much less than the input impedance of the loud speaker. The damping factor Df = Zin / Zout tells you what Zout is. Zout = Zin/Df. If the damping factor Df = 200 and the loudspeaker impedance is Zin = 4 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 4 / 200 = 0.02 ohms. You see, there is no "4 ohm amplifier" on the market with a 4 ohm output impedance. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging or impedance bridging - Zout < Zin".

Will using a 2 ohm 1200 watt amplifier be ok to use with three 4 ohm speakers 12 and 2-10?
If you connect three 4 ohm speakers in parallel, the amplifier would see a load of about 1.3 ohms. This definitely could damage the amp if you drive it too loud.
How do you know what amp head can be used on a cabinet?
The resistance, rated in ohm's, must match that of the speaker cabinet. Other than that everything else is a personal preference. I play a Mesa Boogie through 2 older Fender 4-12 cabinets. Try different combinations until you find your "tone", because tone is intensely personal. Only you know when "it" sounds right.
How do you match speakers to match a 4 ohm amp?
There is no need to match a 4 ohm speaker to a 4 ohm amp, because there is no 4 ohm amplifier on the market. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout
Are kicker L7s good speakers and what kind of amp do I need to power 2-15 inch subs?
Yes, the L-7s are great. For the amp, you first need to find out whether the sub woofers are 2-ohm, 4-ohm, or 8-ohm. Depending on the answer to that question will determine whether or not you'll need a mono amp or a dual channel amp as well as the wattage.
How do you reduce the ohms from 4 ohm to 2 ohm ON A 1000 WATT KICKER AMP MONO BLOCK IM RUNNING 2-15 AUDIO PIPE SUBS IN A SEALED BOX. THIS QUESTION IS FOR CAR AUDIO?
put 2 speakers in series
Can you connect a 8 ohm speaker for a amp designed for a 4 ohm load?
You can, but the available power will only be about half of rated, and the frequency response will be slightly different. Better would be to connect two 8 ohm speakers in parallel, making an equivalent 4 ohm speaker.
Speaker 2 ohm to 4 ohm wiring?
If it's svc you can't. if it's dvc you can, just connect the + and the - of the voice coils, and then connect the remaining to as normal, + to +, - to -
Can a 4 ohm cabinet be changed to 8 ohm?
Its not recommended. A four ohm speaker cabinet can be changed into an eight ohm speaker cabinet, if you have enough speakers in the cabinet in parallel that can be rewired in series. Unless you have a high end cabinet, the likelihood of this is small.Two four ohm cabinets, however, in series will be eight ohms. Keep in mind, however, that doubling the resistance will halve the current, which will quarter the power. Also, changing the impedance of a speaker system will change the frequency response, because often the filters are tuned with resistors.
Is it safe to connect a 4 speakers to a 4 ohm amp?
First, you must know: There is no 4 ohm amplifier. All audio amplifiers have an output impedance of smaller than 0.5 ohms. So you use impedance bridging. No problem to connect the 0.5 ohm output to your 4 ohm loudspeaker. Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".
How many ohms would 2 16 ohm speaker cabinets and 1 8 ohm speaker cabinet calculate out to be?
If wired in parallel then 4 ohms.
If you connect two 8-ohm loudspeakers in parallel what is the total load?
4 ohms, nominal.
Wire 2 dvc 4ohm subs to 2 channel Amp-sub400rms4ohm amp 350x24 ohm rms 700x22 ohm rms 1400x1 4 ohm peak power Best way to set up?
This question makes little sense. Could you say what model amp it is? With two 4 ohm subs, you can either do 1 ohm or 4 ohm. Now if you have a bridgeable two channel, I think you can do a 2 ohm load. For a 4 ohm load, two 4 ohm subs, connect both positives from one side of the subs to the positive out. Then the negative coils from the opposite side (other side of the sub) to the negative output. Then connect the remaining negative and positive together on each subs. Look here http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp
Can I connect two 2 ohm speakers to the front channels of my amp and then connect 2 4 ohm speakers to the rear channels of my 4 channel amp?
This depends on your amplifier's specifications. i would recommend looking in the amplifier's service manual to avoid disapointment or damage to your amplifier or speakers.
Can you use 10 ohm speakers with a 4-8 ohm receiver?
You can use your so called "4 to 8 Ohm's output" amplifier for your 10 ohms loudspeaker. All amplifiers have an output impedance of less than 0.5 ohms. You use impedance bridging when you connect the 10 ohm's loudspeaker. The "4 to 8 Ohm's output" means only that a 4 to 8 ohm loudspeaker will be adequate and not that the output impedance is 4 to 8 ohms! Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".
How do you connect 200 ohm output impedance to 8 kilo ohm input?
Here is the description-I have an Alesis DEQ230 Graphic EQ, where the audio output impedance is 220 Ohm. I want to connect it to my Logitech Z5500 speaker, where the input impedance is 8 KOhmSo my question is- can I connect them directly with the 2x 1/4 mono male jack to 3.5mm stereo female jack
Can you hook up two 8 ohm svc subwoofers to a one channel amp?
If you connect two 8 ohm speakers to the average car amp, then yes, probably. Most car amps can handle a 4 ohm load, which is what it would be.
Will using a 2 ohm 1200 watt amplifier be ok to use with three 4 ohm speakers 12 and 2-10?
If you connect three 4 ohm speakers in parallel, the amplifier would see a load of about 1.3 ohms. This definitely could damage the amp if you drive it too loud.
