What is affect of using a 3 ohm speaker with a 100 Watt amplifier?

Amplifier power and impedance are not related, although a lower impedance speaker will be louder. Most home stereos cannot drive loads below 4 ohms, however, so using this 3 ohm speaker with a Home Theater may cause the amp to go into protection mode or shut down completely. Check your owner's manual to see what impedance of speaker your receiver can safely drive.

What amp would be best for a 12 inch 2 ohm kicker L7?
Well a Kicker ZX750.1 would work you would need 2 of them. A1000/2 - Precision Power PPI 2 Ch 1000 Watt Amplifier. HCCA-D600 - Orion 1 Ch 600 Watt Amplifier need 2. HD750/1 - JL Audio 1 Channel 750 Watt HD Amplifier also need 2
How would you connect 1- 4 ohm 40 watt speaker and 1- 6 ohm 35 watt speaker to left output of an AV receiver with 8 ohm and 110 watt output. Same combo for right output?
The 2- 4 ohm speakers can be hooked up in series to make 8 ohms. you cant hook up the 2- 6 ohm, cause if you put them in series, you have 12 ohms. If you put them in , parallel you have 3 ohms out from av to +(4ohms), -(4ohms) to +(4ohms), -(4ohms) to - av. And do the math 4ohms plus 4ohms equals 8ohms. doing the math on the 2- 6ohm speakers... 6ohms + 6 ohms = 12ohms I dont think 12ohms would blow your system, but it wont sound right. now if you raise the volume too loud on the av you will blow the speaker coils out you may boost the wattage of the 2-4ohm speakers (in series) to maybe 70 watts total ******************************************* If you connect loudspeakers in series, the amplifier can not properly damp them, but, unless you are a fairly critical listener, you perhaps won't detect the difference. Connecting two 6 ohm 'speakers in series will give a load of 12 ohms, and will not "blow" anything. Connecting a load impedance higher than the amplifier's design load will do no harm at all. The only disadvantage is that the amplifier will not be able to develop its rated power output.
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.
What is the purpose of tube amplifiers?
An audio amplifier boosts sound levels. Audio amplifiers typically contain transistors, though the transistors are often packaged inside ICs (Integrated Circuits). A transistor is an electrical device that allows a small amount of voltage or current to trigger a larger level of voltage and/or current. So an amplifier reproduces the sound at a higher amplitude or strength. Of course, there are some tube-type amplifiers that are still in existence. Those are rare and it is hard to find the tubes. Vacuum tubes were what was in use before transistors. There are different types of audio amplifiers. Radios and televisions contain audio amplifiers to be able to drive the speakers. Once the audio signal is extracted from the radio waves and passes out of the detector stage, it is too weak to drive a speaker. Sound boards in computers are capable of driving headphones directly, though not always at a comfortable volume. If you want the volume to be louder, or you want to listen through speakers, you would do best to get a set of amplified speakers. They contain an amplifier inside, and that is why they require batteries or a power cord.
Can you use a400 watt speaker with150 watt amp?
You can, but the problem is your speakers will not give their optimal sound quality because your Amplifier is too weak for the speakers. So,buy an amplifier with an output power rating high then 400w.
Will a 1200 watt amplifier blow out a 1000 watt subwoofer?
Technically, yes. Practically, no. Amplifiers and speakers are rated by the maximum amount of power (and at what impedance) they can handle. A 1200 watt amplifier will eventually destroy a 1000 watt speaker if it is operated at maximum power. In normal use, however, you rarely even get close to maximum rating.
Is a 200 watt guitar amplifier louder than a 100 watt guitar amplifier?
Yes
If you mix a 1000 watt speaker with a 2500 watt speaker will they make a 3500 watt speaker?
No.
Can you use 2x500 watt subs on a 600 watt amp?
Absolutely!! If you turn up the gain too much, the speakers will smoke. You can use it at a lower level
Can you hook a 200 watt amplifier to a 120 watt sub woofer?
Yes it should be all right. Ratings for amp/speakers are approximate but as a rule it is preferable for the speaker to be rated higher than the amp.

Is a 800 watt power amplifier can power a 1300 watt subwoofer?
yes/no
What kind of speker can you use for 350 watt amplifer?
It is imparative you find a speaker that can hold the ampage that a 350 watt amplifier can put out. It would be helpful if you went to your local music store or even car audio store. Its their job to help you.

Do 15 watt speakers go well with a Kenwood four channel amplifier?
No, 15 watt speakers are rated far to low to be used with an external amplifier.
What will a 3000 watt amp do to a 300 watt speaker?
It will have the potential to over drive the speaker elements and can cause distortion and potential speaker damage.
