What happens if you connect 4 ohms impedance speakers which are 40 w RMS and 200w MAX to a 8 ohms and 30 w impedancece amplifier?

If the amplifier is not rated for 4 ohms impedence, you will quickly over-current the amp, burning out components. The power handling of the speaker and power output of the amplifier does not matter in this case. It must be compatible with the impedence load that you are connecting.

Can a 4 ohm receiver drive 3 ohm speakers?
If you connect four four-ohm speakers in parallel, the impedance will be equal to 1 ohm, and will allow the speakers to run at the advertised watt RMS. The equation is 1/(total impedance) = 1/(impedance 1) + 1/(impedance 2) and so on. Parallel is like this: Power source: + Speaker+: + + + + Speaker-: - - - - Power source: - However, usually if you hook up a 4 ohm speaker to a 1 ohm amplifier, it would still function it would simply not provide nearly as much wattage as it would have otherwise. Also, if your speakers are dual voice coil (like many subwoofers) you could use 2 4 ohm speakers, connecting the two voice coils on each speaker in parallel and then connecting the speakers themselves in parallel.
If you replace a 4 ohm speaker with an 8 ohm speaker can the amplifier blow the speaker?
A1: The output impedance of a power amplifier is always less than 0.1 ohms. There are no 4 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.
Can you play 8 ohm speakers on a 16 ohm amp?
There is no 8 ohm solid state amp. Really! The output impedance of such an amp will be arround 0.4 ohms. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two units- Voltage Bridging - Zout < Zin".You can, as long as the amp's impedance is much lower to the speaker(s) total ohm load you're fine. We have never impedance matching there.
How do you connect digital amplifier to digital amplifier?
You can look at the in and out connectors on the TV and the amplifier. You have choices that depend on the tv and amplifier, basic stereo, surround sound and tos-link. As you know in and out are connected and out and in are connected. Do not connect in and in to each other and do not connect out and out to each other.
Is it safe to connect a 300W amplifier to a 60W speaker?
Safe, as in you're not going to electrocute yourself, yes.<br /> But, the amp will be able to put out more power than the speakers can handle, so don't turn the volume up all the way or you will fry the speakers.
What happens if you connect 3 ohms impedance speakers to a 8 ohms impedancece amplifier?
Sorry, but there is really no amplifier on the market with 8 ohms output impedance. The output impedance of a power amplifier is always less than 0.5 ohms. We use no impedance matching. We use voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units - Power amplifier and passive loudspeaker".
Will 2 16 ohm speakers work with a 4 ohm amplifier?
There is really no amplifier on the market which has an output impedance of 4 ohms. The impedance of an amplifier is always less than 0.5 ohms. We do not use matching, we use bridging when we connect the amplifier to the loudspeaker. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units".
Will 4 5.5 ohm speakers connect to an amplifier with a 16 ohm output impedance?
Yes, they will. One can connect anything to anything else. Will it work? If so, how well? Is it safe? If the four speakers are connected in series, the total impedance of the speakers will be the sum of all the impedances of the speakers: 5.5 + 5.5 + 5.5 + 5.5 = 22 ohms The 22 ohm load on the amplifier will be a bit higher than the amp has been designed for, but the setup will work. At modest power levels it is doubtful that anything audible will be noticeable because of that slight mismatch, and as long as one doesn't crank it up too high, the amp won't notice the difference. It would be wise when hooking up the speakers to insure they are all hooked up in phase... Something important has to be added: There is really no 16 ohm amplifier on the market. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.08 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout
How do you connect speakers to sylvania TV?
If the TV has an audio output, connect this to a stereo amplifier, and then connect speakers to this. Modern TV's don't have amplifiers for external speakers.
How do you connect an Aiwa 2.0 100w speakers to a Philips DVD player?
You need to connect the DVD player and speakers to an amplifier.
How do you hook up Behringer mixer to Amplifier?
You connect the mixers main outputs to the inputs of the amplifier and the outputs of the amplifier to speakers
Is it safe to connect a 4 speakers to a 4 ohm amp?
First, you must know: There is no 4 ohm amplifier. All audio amplifiers have an output impedance of smaller than 0.5 ohms. So you use impedance bridging. No problem to connect the 0.5 ohm output to your 4 ohm loudspeaker. Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".
Can I connect two 2 ohm speakers to the front channels of my amp and then connect 2 4 ohm speakers to the rear channels of my 4 channel amp?
This depends on your amplifier's specifications. i would recommend looking in the amplifier's service manual to avoid disapointment or damage to your amplifier or speakers.
Can you connect a pair of speakers to your computer?
In general, you cannot connect a pair of speakers to a computer, because the computer's sound board does not normally include a power amplifier fit to drive a speaker.It might be possible to drive very small speakers with a high impedance directly from a sound board's headphone output, though.Note that most "PC Speakers" can be directly connected to a computer's audio output because the speaker itself contains a power amplifier. Strictly speaking, such a speaker is a combination of a loudspeaker and an amplifier (sometimes also called an active speaker).
How do you connect 2 computer speakers with a sub-woofer to a flat screen TV?
The TV will need to have AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to connect to the speakers or a amplifier to power the speakers and subwoofer.
How can you connect extra speakers ot your stereo?
You should have outputs in the back of the amplifier.
How can i connect external speakers with my sharp 90's model TV?
If your TV has RCA audio outputs, you can connect an amplifier to these outputs to plug in speakers. If it has a headphone jack, you can connect computer-type amplified speakers to this output.
