You need to find out how many ohm's your deck is pushing out and make sure you have the right grade speaker wire so you don't under power the speaker
Rubbish. A "deck" doesn't "push out" ohms.
An amplifier is designed to develop a stated power in a stated impedance, and that is based on the amplifier's ability to deliver current.
An amplifier designed to deliver maximum output to a 6 ohm load can safely drive an 8 ohm one. But it will not be able to develop its maximum power.

∙ 13y agoYes, but you will not be able to achieve rated power. It is also possible that this configuration will damage the amplifier. You should use the speakers that the amplifier was designed for, in order to properly match the voltage and current headroom in the amplifier.

Can you run 4ohm resistor to make 4 ohms speakers 2 ohm?
Yes, you can safely use a 4 ohm amp with one 8 ohm speaker, but you will not achieve full power. The 4 ohm amp is designed to supply a certain voltage into a 4 ohm speaker. Supplying that same voltage to an 8 ohm speaker will result in half the power, or -3dB. For maximum power, use a 4 ohm speaker, or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel.
Are Baby Advent II speakers 8 ohm?
They are 6 ohm.
What is the resistance of four 8 ohm speakers wired in a series?
Two 8 ohm speakers in parallel is 4 ohms, and the power will be split between them. However, unless the amplifier is rated for 4 ohm operation, you will not get the same total power out of the amplifer as you would with an 8 ohm load.
Will 8 ohm speaker work with 4 ohm bass guitar amplifier?
Yes. As long as the speaker impedance is higher than the minimum rating for the amplifier, you are OK.
Is 8 ohms good or bad resistance?
For an 8 ohm speaker, 8 ohms is perfect. "Good" and "bad" are relative to the application.
Will an 8 ohm speaker work with an 6 ohm amplifier?
Yes, but it will not be as loud as it would have been had a 6 Ohm speaker been used. Byt the way, the word 'Ohm' is capitalized, because it was someone's name.
How do you make a 16 ohm speaker 8 ohm?
You cannot make a 16 ohm speaker into an 8 ohm speaker. You would need to replace the voice coil. You can, however, put two 16 ohm speakers in parallel, and the equivalent impedance would be 8 ohms. The only remaining issue is frequency response, and that's a factor of speaker and enclosure design, so best is to use the exact speaker as originally designed.
Can you replace an 8 ohm speaker with a 4 ohm speaker?
Only if your amplifier is capable of driving a 4 ohm speaker. Some have a switch on the back to select 4 or 8ohm speakers. Details should either be printed some where on the back of the amp or the instruction manual
What is the difference between a 8 ohm speaker and 12 ohm speaker?
Study ohms law to get your head around it.
Can you run 4ohm resistor to make 4 ohms speakers 2 ohm?
Yes, you can safely use a 4 ohm amp with one 8 ohm speaker, but you will not achieve full power. The 4 ohm amp is designed to supply a certain voltage into a 4 ohm speaker. Supplying that same voltage to an 8 ohm speaker will result in half the power, or -3dB. For maximum power, use a 4 ohm speaker, or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel.
How do i Make a 8 ohm speaker 16 ohm?
You can't change the ohm load of a speaker. What you can do, is get a second 8 ohm speaker to run with that speakers in series and you will get a total ohm load of 16 ohms.To run them in series, simply wire the positive terminal of one speaker to the negative of the other speaker. One speaker will have an open positive terminal which you wire to the positive terminal on the amp, and same goes for the negative on the other speaker (to the amp's negative terminal of course).
Where would you place a pair of 6 ohm speakers in a 7 point 1 8 ohm surround setup for best response?
The impedence of the speaker does not determine the placement. The sensitivity of the speaker is more important in determining the output level that the speaker will produce. Any pair of speakers can be used for front or rear left and right locations, but those with better bass response should be used in the front. Most amplifiers that are rated at an 8-ohm output will happily power a 6-ohm pair.
What is the cost of a 3 watt 8 ohm speaker?
the basic operation of 3watt 8ohm speaker
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.
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.
Will 6 ohm speakers sound quality be affected with using an 8 ohm sound system?
The 6 ohm speakers will sound fine with the 8 ohm amplifier.
How do you use 16 ohm monitor speakers with an 8 ohm powered mixer?
Just use it like an 8 ohm speaker or else connect two 16 ohm speakers in parallel to form an 8 ohm load. Parallel is positive to positive and negative to negative.
