It depends on the application. If you have an amp that is stable in 8 ohms per channel, then 8 ohm speakers will work best. However, if you wanted multiple speakers on that channel you could use two 16 ohm speakers.

∙ 11y agoYou'll have better luck with the 8ohm amp, but technically you could use either one just fine. The impedence numbers are really arbitrary. The resistance actually changes as the music plays, and is never really just a single number. Just make sure not to turn up the speakers loud enough to distort as this can damage both the amp and speakers.

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.
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 convert 8 ohms to 4 ohms?
wire two 8 ohm speakers in a parallel circuit!
Will wiring a 16 ohm woofer with a 16 ohm tweeter in parallel result in a total ohm load of 8 ohms?
If you mean as pairs, yes. put an 8 Ohm and a 16 Ohm speaker in parallel for each channel. The 16 Ohm speakers will take 1/3 the power and the 8 Ohm speakers will take 2/3 the power. The resulting impedance will be 5.33 Ohms.
8 Ohm plus 8 Ohm equals?
16 Ohms. Yes 16 ohms in series. 4 ohms in parallel

Are the A-1101 Advent speakers 8 ohms?
Yes they are

Is it possible to wire two 16 ohm speakers to a car stereo and if so bridged or in series or parallel or something completely different?
Typical car stereos run speakers at 4 to 8 ohms, so I would wire the two 16 ohm speakers in parallel to get a net 8 ohms. Anything over that would be a little much for a car stereo. You don't need to drive it that hard.
How much ohms does 1500 watts speaker has?
The wattage and ohms of a speaker are not related; the resistance for speakers is usually 4 or 8 ohms.
What is the best set up for two 8 ohm 1600w speakers and a 500w amplifier with outputs at 4 ohms 5.2ohms or 42 ohms?
Use 5.2 ohms, which is the closest to 8 ohms.
Are 8 ohm speakers for the home stereo and 4 ohm speakers for the car?
I am also looking for a better answer to this question. I have always known that almost all car speakers were 4 ohms, unless talking about subwoofers and/or dual coiled speakers, and that home speakers were 8 ohms. And until recently have thought this to be true. Until I looked on the back of my dads pair of Dynaudio speakers and saw that the impedence was 4 ohms. Now I am completely confused. Initially I thought it was due to the Voltage and Current that Car audio lacks and Home Audio has plenty of and then I see this!!! LOL
2000 dodge neon factory replacement speakers ohms?
8 ohm
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.
