Sure, If you mean your stereo has 4 ohm output and using 16 ohm speakers. The volume will be reduced somewhat by doing this, but it won't harm the stereo. If you have 4 ohm speakers and stereo is designed for 16 ohms you can do it ,but the amp will run hot and you may suffer damage at high volume to the amp.

How many ohms is a computer speaker?

There is no single standard. Many computer speakers are rated at 8 ohms while others are 16 ohms or higher. My computer subwoofer here is 4 ohms.


How do you wire one 4ohm sub?

You can't. Two 4 ohm speakers in parallel equal 2 ohms, and two in series equal 8 ohms. It is possible to wire four 4 ohm speakers so that the load is 4 ohms though. Put two in series (8 ohms). put the other two in series (8 ohms). Then put the two sets in parallel (two 8 ohm sets in parallel equal 4 ohms).


Given 4 resistors each have equivalent resistance of 100 ohms show how these resistors might be combined to produce an equivalent resistance of a 40 ohms b 250 ohms c 100 ohms?

a) Put 2 of the resistors in series to make a 200 ohm resistor. Then put the 100, 100, and 200 ohm resistors in parallel for 40 ohms. b) Put 2 resistors in parallel for 50 ohms. Put the 50, 100, and 100 ohm resistors in series for 250 ohms. c) Put 2 resistors in parallel for 50 ohms. Repeat with other 2 resistors. Put the two 50 ohm resistors in series for 100 ohms. This configuration can withstand 4 times the wattage of each individual resistor.


What is rear 8 inch speaker impedance?

The nominal 8 inch speaker impedance can be 4 ohms, 8 ohms or 16 ohms. It depends on the make of the loudspeaker not on the 8 inches.

Can you wire 2 16 ohm speakers to 16 ohms?

No. Two 16 ohm speakers connected together are either 32 ohms, if wired in series, or 8 ohms, if wired in parallel. You can, however, connect four 16 ohm speakers in series-parallel to get 16 ohms, with four times the power handling capacity of just one.
