Best Answer

The power rating of speakers has nothing specific to do with ohms. look at the Watts rating printed somewhere on the speakers

Is it ok to hook a 16 ohm Speaker up to a 8 ohm amp?

A1: The output impedance of a power amplifier is always less than 0.1 ohms. There are no 8 ohm amplifiers on the market! A2: I actually just bought a new car radio/CD player that specifically shows 4 ohm speakers on the sticker. It is designed to work optimally with 4 ohm speakers. If you use 8 ohm instead, it will work, but you will not get the full power output that is specified. The amp can only kick out so much voltage and so much amperage - if it is designed for 4 ohm speakers, and 200 watts (stereo, so 100 watts per speaker), it can supply 20 volts (P = V^2 / R). If you used 8 ohm speakers to this amplifier, each speaker would only get 50 watts powered at full output voltage. Alternatively, if it is designed for 8 ohm speakers and 100 watts per speaker, it can provide 40 volts. If you used 4 ohm speakers instead, each speaker could be given 200 watts at 40 volts, resulting in severe overheating and damage to the amplifier. This applies to your case as well: it is OK to hook up higher impedance speakers to a lower impedance amplifier, but you will get less power delivered. If you do the opposite (lower impedance speakers to higher impedance amplifier), keep the volume low or you could burn out the amp.

I have a Sony hi-fi 6 ohm 210 watt rms stereo and want to get a set of pro audio 8 ohm 600 watt speakers will they work with my system?

A: Speakers are 6 ohms to match the output impedance of your system. 8 ohms will work fine minus some efficiency. THE NORMAL listening for a normal room is about a 1w. buying 600 watts speakers wil not make your system automatically push 600 watts but it will work,
