You need to match the speaker with the amplifier. Better or worse is not the question. The question is dynamic range and the possibility of overloading the amplifier. If the amplifier is rated 4 ohms, use a 4 ohm speaker. Same for 8 ohms. Do not "mix and match".

Will 8 ohm speakers work with a 4 ohm amplifier?
Yes, you can use 2 in series, IE daisy chain them to add up to 8 ohms.For stereo you would need 4 speakers not 2. mono, 2 not one.Most Amplifiers work OK driving to a lower impedance loads anyway so just hook them up. Very high power levels may overheat the amp but at normal volume it should be fine. Something important is added: There are no 8 ohm amplifiers! The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout
Are logitech Z-680 speakers 8 ohm?
the speakers are 8kOhm or 8000Ohm
Can you bridge an 8 ohm speaker to 4 ohms?
Ohms is a measure of resistance. When the electricity passes into the speaker, some of it is 'resisted.' The ohms rating of the speaker is how much is resisted, and an indication of how much energy it takes to drive it - the higher the ohms rating, the more difficult it is to drive.
Can 4 ohm speakers cause an 8 ohm amp to fail?
Answer #1Yes. 4 ohm speakers, when driven to the same voltage level (same volume control setting), try to draw four times the power (watts) of an 8 ohm speaker. This can overload the amp and cause it to fail. Answer #2It's a myth. There is really no 8 Ohm amplifier on the market. And there never was. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout
What are eight equations based on factor triangle of 4-8-32?
4*8 = 32 8*4 = 32 32 = 4*8 32 = 8*4 8 = 32/4 32/4 = 8 4 = 32/8 32/8 = 4
Can you replace subwoofer in 2000 Chevy Tahoe with aftermarket subwoofer?
Your SUV comes with a 8" subwoofer from the factory. Most likely a 4-ohm sub. I know the Kicker Comp VT 8" will bolt right in and you can get them either 2-ohm or 4-ohm. You would probably notice quite a difference putting a 2-ohm in.
What is better 4 ohm or 8 ohm amplifier?
Sorry, but there is really no 4 ohm or 8 ohm amplifier. We use only voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two units".
What is size of rear subwoofer for 2001 Toyota Avalon?
JBL 8 inch. 3.7 ohm
What will happen if you hook up a 2-Ohm Car Subwoofer to an 8-Ohm Home Receiver I have a Kicker Comp 12 2-Ohm Subwoofer so I was wondering if I could hook it up to my 8-Ohm Home Receiver HELP?
If your home receiver is not rated for a 2-ohm load (many can handle a 4-ohm, but not a 2-ohm), you will damage components inside the amplifier by over-current. Don't use car stereo components in home stereo equipment. It's like using a hockey helmet to ride a motorcycle.
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.
Where can one purchase an 8 subwoofer for cheap?
There is one currently available on Amazon for $15.43 which is decreased from $37.99. It is also the cheapest 8 inch subwoofer on there. It's called "Pyramid WH8 200 Watt High Power 8 Ohm".
Is an 8 ohm sub woofer better than a 4 ohm sub woofer?
no the higher the ohm the more resistance in the speaker the lower the resistance the more power it will use so if they are the same make the 4 ohm should be louder
How do you wire two 8 ohm speakers and keep a 8 ohm load?
in parallel No. Two 8 ohm 'speakers in parallel present a 4 ohm load.
Are Bose car speakers 8 ohm?
they are probably 4 ohm
Can you use 4 ohm speakers on a 8 ohm system?
yes
What is the price range of Cerwin Vega speakers?
Cerwin Vega speakers can cost anywhere from $61.99 for a single VEGA084.2 8 inch series dual 4 Ohm subwoofer, to $1,500.00 for CMX-210 4-way powered loudspeakers.
Can you make four 8 ohm speakers into an 4 ohm load?
Yes
