There are no 8 ohm amplifiers!
The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.08 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. That means that the output impedance of the amplifier is much less than the impedance of the loud speaker.
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 = 8 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 8 / 200 = 0.04 ohms.
You see, there is no "8 ohm amplifier" with a 8 ohm output.
Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging - Zout < Zin".

6 ohm 'speakers will work with amplifiers which are designed for an 8 ohm load.
However, you run a risk of overloading the amplifier since it will be called upon to supply more current into the load than it would with the correct one.

Can you use a 6 ohm and a 16 ohm speakers with a 6 ohm amp?
No. Not and maintain good balance and dynamic range.
What is 6ohm in amps?
Ohms is a measurement of resistance between the amp and speakers. Most home audio is 8 ohm, if you run 4 or 6 ohm speakers you cut resistance down and get more power out of the amp. Say your stereo is 100X2 @ 8ohm, if you use 4 ohm speakers you should get 50% more power BUT the amp is working twice as hard and can burn up.
Will 6 ohm speakers sound quality be affected with using an 8 ohm sound system?
The 6 ohm speakers will sound fine with the 8 ohm amplifier.
Can you use 4 ohms speakers and 8 ohm speakers on the same amp?
The short answer is yes, the long answer is maybe. Example: my Toyota's stock CD player says on it specifically, ''4 ohm speakers'', the stock speakers, however, say they are 6 ohms and they measured on a volt meter at 6 ohms. Certain higher end car audio speakers are 2 ohms but are designed for 4 ohm head units and 4 ohm head units can power 2 ohm car speakers. 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers will work, however, different ohms can (but not always) cause different volumes out of each respective speaker. If your equipment if really old or really crappy it might get fried or if it is modern and of good quality it might get fried if you run the amp at the higher end of its output (high volume). Short answer, you will be fine just don't ask the amp to work super hard. Medium answer, I wouldn't bet more than a few hundred bucks of audio equipment on it and don't stress the amp. Long answer, its complicated and always best to match ohms even though the ohm rating is an average and 4 ohm speakers can present ohm loads of way less than 4 to over 10 depending on their output at the time. Also if you ask different people you'll get different answers.
Are Baby Advent II speakers 8 ohm?
They are 6 ohm.
Will two 4ohm subs running series and one 8ohm sub running parallel work together maintain a 4 6 or 8 ohm load if not how will the subs work together with a single monoblock amp?
4 Ohm subs wired in series gives an impedance of 8 Ohms. 2 4 Ohm subs wired in series, wired with an 8 Ohm sub in parallel gives you a final impedance of 4 Ohms. Speakers wired in series raise impedance, speakers wired in parallel lower impedance.
What are the Speaker specifications of a 1991 Oldsmobile tornado?
Actually...The front speakers are 5 1/4" 4 Ohm speakers and the tweeters are .6" 4 ohm tweeters. Door speakers are easy to replace, but the tweeters are impossible to find the size. Rears are 10 ohm 6 x 9" Ovals. Good luck finding 10ohm though...Can't be found. I have not yet changed the back speakers, but the front speakers are 6 inch speakers. The stock speakers are 4 ohm. Im not sure about the tweeters and rear speakers. Just pull them out and look at the back.
How do you connect 2 6 ohm speakers to an 8 ohm amplifier?
You can, but its power output will be a bit higher than its 8 ohm rating.
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.
I have a Sony hi-fi 6 ohm 210 watt rms stereo and want to get a set of pro audio 8 ohm 600 watt speakers will they work with my system?
A: Speakers are 6 ohms to match the output impedance of your system. 8 ohms will work fine minus some efficiency. THE NORMAL listening for a normal room is about a 1w. buying 600 watts speakers wil not make your system automatically push 600 watts but it will work,
Can 6 speakers be used in a Chevy Silverado?
Yes you can put 6 speakers in a silverado, by instaling a 4 chanels amp for the front, and mono amp 1 chanel for the sub
DC voltage of 120 volts is feeding series circuit consisting of 2-ohm 6-ohm and 8-ohm regular resistors a variable resistor For line ammeter to indicate 1.5 amp the variable resistor must be fixed?
If the DC voltage of 120 volts is feeding series circuit consisting of 2-ohm, 6-ohm, and 8-ohm regular resistors, the variable resistor for line ammeter to indicate 1.5 amp, the variable resistor must be fixed before the amp.
