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.

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.

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.

Yes they are


8 Ohm plus 8 Ohm equals?

16 Ohms. Yes 16 ohms in series. 4 ohms in parallel


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.


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.


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

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.
