Best Answer

There is really no amplifier on the market which has an output impedance of 4 ohms or 8 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".

What is the different between 2 ohm and 4 ohm?

The difference between 2 ohms and 4 ohms is 2 ohms.


Can you make 4 ohm output amp switch to 8 ohm?

There is really no amplifier with an output of 8 ohm or 4 ohm. All loudspeaker amplifiers have an output impedance of 0.5 ohm or less. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging".


Can i make 4 ohm output amp switch to 8 ohm..?

There is neither 4 ohm nor a 8 ohm output of an amplifier. Less than 0.5 ohm is the output impedance of a loudspeaker amplifier. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging or impedance bridging - Zout < Zin".


Can you use 10 ohm speakers with a 4-8 ohm receiver?

You can use your so called "4 to 8 Ohm's output" amplifier for your 10 ohms loudspeaker. All amplifiers have an output impedance of less than 0.5 ohms. You use impedance bridging when you connect the 10 ohm's loudspeaker. The "4 to 8 Ohm's output" means only that a 4 to 8 ohm loudspeaker will be adequate and not that the output impedance is 4 to 8 ohms! Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".


Howe to make 4 ohm output amp become 8 amp?

There is really no amplifier with an output of 4 ohms. All loudspeaker amplifiers have an output impedance of 0.5 ohm or less. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging".


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".


How do i run a dual 4 ohm at 4 ohm?

You never will do this, because there is really no 4 ohm amplifier. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout


Will a 4 ohms speaker work with a 16 ohms amplifier?

An amplifier that is rated to drive a 16 ohm load will not perform well if a 4 ohm load is applied to it. The output rating is calculated to allow the highest power output from the amplifier. If a 4 ohm speaker is used instead of the recommended 16 ohm speaker, the current output will be far higher for a given output voltage. Although the amplifier will drive the speaker at low levels, as the volume is increased, the output current may rise to the point where it will damage output transistors or perhaps the main power supply. Some 16 ohm rated amplifiers may well handle 4 ohm speakers without damage but the only way to find out is to try it - meaning a dead amplifier if the test isn't successful. So, just like my previous answer (what happened to it?), the answer is YES but not as well.


What is difference between 2 ohm and 4 ohm sub-woofers?

It is the impedence (coil resistence)normally sub component (drivers)are in 8 ohms impedence.2 in parralel is 4 ohms and 4 in parralel makes it 2 ohms.


Can you hook your 2-ohm sub to your 4-ohm amp If so how?

That could work, because there does no 4 ohm amplifier exist. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. The damping factor Df = Zin / Zout tells you what Zout is. Zout = Zin/Df. If the damping factor Df = 200 and the loudspeaker impedance is Zin = 4 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 4 / 200 = 0.02 ohms. You see, there is no "4 ohm amplifier" with a 4 ohm output. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging - Zout < Zin".

Can 8 ohm speakers on a 4 ohm amp damage them?

Sorry, there is no amplifier with an output impedance of 4 ohm on the market. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units". Look for an amplifier and a loudspeaker.
