I always try to match an amplifier or receiver that is rated within the following range: from .8 times to 1.5 times the RMS rating of the speakers. The impedance of the speakers should not be rated below 5 ohms unless the amplifier/receiver is conservatively rated as 4 ohm stable.

Can you power 8 ohm speakers with a 4 ohm amplifier?
Yes, but you won't get rated pwer. Best is to match the speaker to the amplifier.
What speakers match a 300 watt 4 channel amplifier?
The ratings for the speakers will depend upon what '300 watts' means. If the amplifier develops 300 watts RMS total across 4 channels, this would indicate 75 watts RMS per channel. Speakers rated at 100 watts should suffice for this amplifier.
Do you need a Amplifier for 6x9 speakers?
You need an amplifier for any speakers if they are to function.
Your speakers will handle 400 watts but start to disort at 200 watts?
The speaker impedance does not match the amplifier's specified speaker impedance.
Are there powered car speakers or do you absolutely need an amplifier?
You should get a amplifier if you want good sound quality out of your speakers.
Can I safely run 4 x 4ohm speakers with an 8 ohm rated amplifier?
Not really. The only possible configurations of four 4 ohm speakers is 1 ohm, 4 ohms, and 16 ohms. This will not match an 8 ohm rated amplifier. It will work, but you will not achieve rated power output, and you run the risk of damaging the amplifier.
Can anyone suggest how can you choose amplifier and speakers?
you need to choose speakers according to the power supply of amplifier, so that the amplifier can wrok. Besides, to create good sound effect, you need to take your room area into consideration, if the room is small, amplifier and speakers with high power is not necessary. You can visit website of Unify company, they have many packages for amplifier and speakers, hope it can help somehow.
What are the big speakers at a concert called?
They are called "PA" speakers. PA meaning "Public Address" is a large loudspeaker design to deliver sound to a large group of audience. You'll often see these large speakers at clubs, concerts, and cinemas. There are two types of PA speakers. "Passive" and "Active" speakers. The passive speakers doesn't have a built-in amplifier. These speakers will require the use of a power source called an "Amplifier" to power these speakers. The active speakers have a built-in amplifier and doesn't require the use of an amplifier.
Can you run speakers with an amplifier that has a bigger rms rating than the speakers rms rating For example run an 80 watt rms speakers with a 120 watt rms amplifier?
Yes you can. Contrary to popular belief, an amplifier rated with a higher output than the speaker rating rarely damage the speakers. If the amplifier overdrives the speakers, the sound quality will be dramatically affected. Most listeners will turn the level down to reduce the distortion being heard. The amplifier's power rating is the maximum power that it can produce and it does not mean the output power will be at that level. On the other hand, an amplifier that is overloaded will deliver distorted signals to the speakers. At high power levels, the distortion can be damaging to the speakers in a way that simply over driving a speaker is not. Therefore, it is as safe to use an overpowered amplifier with speakers as it is an amplifier that is rated at the same power or even lower power than the speakers.
Which integrated amplifiers go best with good computer speakers?
Switcher Multimedia Computer Integrated Amplifier can handle that.
What is the funtion of a amplifier?
an amplifier increases the ampage flow allowing more current to flow to the product requiring the amplification. I.E. after market speakers in a stereo set up will require amplification due to requiring more power to drive a bigger magnet or voice coil to produce a better and clearer sound than factory speakers. When doing so the amplifier must match the power required for the speakers or if the amp. is under powered you will destroy the amp. or if the amp is to powerful you can destroy the speakers. hope this has helped....
What exactly is a combo amp and how is it different from a normal guitar amplifier?
A combo amplifier for a guitar contains a normal guitar amplifier and one to four speakers. A normal guitar amplifier does not contain speakers, but is able to send the signal to a speaker cabinet.
