The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. There is no 6 ohm system on the market. 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 = 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.

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.
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,
Are Baby Advent II speakers 8 ohm?
They are 6 ohm.
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 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 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.
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 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 an 8 ohm speaker work with an 6 ohm amplifier?
Yes, but it will not be as loud as it would have been had a 6 Ohm speaker been used. Byt the way, the word 'Ohm' is capitalized, because it was someone's name.
What are the speaker sizes in your 2001 Saab 9 3?
In the 9-3 you have 3 1/2 inch speakers up on the dash. The cover just pops off with a flat head screwdriver. The rear speakers in the hatch area are 6x9's. And in the doors are 6 1/2 subs. All the speakers are 2 ohm speakers. So if you replace the speakers and keep the rest of the factory stereo make sure that you upgrade to 2 ohm speakers such as Infinitys. If you upgrade to 4 ohm speakers, which most speakers are, you will get less volume out of your factory stereo. The reason behind this is that the car's factory amp will then be placed at a 4 ohm load which will cut the power output to half spec. Less power, less loud music. And you will notice a big difference.So that's it. It is very easy to replace the speakers on the Saab so do not worry. You do not need to be a pro or anything.Comment re: answer. I have a 2000 9-3 and the factory rear shelf speakers were clearly marked as being 4 ohm speakers. So I'd be careful about assuming they are all 2 ohm. In fact, the front door speakers are 2 ohm and the rears are 4 ohm. This link (toward the bottom has the ohms for each speaker: http://www.mitt-eget.com/saab/faq_audio.shtml#as2_amplifier The base is "Premium" and "Prestige" is the better sound system. I installed 4 ohm in the Premium rear and they seem to be working great. New Comment: My 2000 9-3 Convertible has 4 ohm in the doors and 2 ohm (6.5 inch) in the rear. The rears are cheap-ass whizzer cones with an itty-bitty second order crossover.
SHould you use your CD player or power amplifier to wired to 6 by 9 stereo speaker?
the electrical impedance/resistance will not match. Home speakers are 8ohm and 6X9 car speakers are 4 ohm the speaker would work, but would not last long if played at high volume.
