No, but it may be the other way around. Since you're using a 2 ohm speaker, don't expect the volume to be louder since the speaker uses twice as much power than a 4 ohm speaker does. If anything, I'd be cautious about the amp having the ability to handle the extra load. It's a myth. There is really no 4 Ohm amplifier on the market. And there never was. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. That means the output impedance of the amplifier is much less than the input 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 = 4 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 4 / 200 = 0.02 ohms. You see, there is no "4 ohm amplifier" on the market with a 4 ohm output impedance. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging or impedance bridging - Zout < Zin".

Can a 4 ohm bridged car amp handle a 2 ohm speaker with proper amp cooling?
nope
Will 8 ohm sub woofers work with a 4 ohm amp?
if you put 2, 8 ohm speakers together on the same channel you will trick the amp into seeing a 4 ohm load, it is not advisable to run a 8 ohm coiled speaker on a 4 ohm amp unless you do the above. So if you want to run 2 8 ohm speakers from a 4 ohm amp this will work the best although the amp will need to be hefty as its worse to underpower a sub than overpower it! I have used a 8 ohm speaker myself on a car amp and had no problems but it was not a cheap entry level amp! some amps will take it, others will get hot and enter protection mode. Hope this helps!!!
If an amp runs 1000 w rms at 1ohm how do you wire a dual 4 ohm speaker to run at 1 ohm?
the impedance of a speaker is a characteristic that is has. A 4 ohm speaker will always have a 4 ohm impedance and it cannot be changed. If 2 speakers of 4 ohm impedance are wired in parallel, then the total impedance will be 2 ohms. Similarly, if you wire 4 speakers together, the total impedance will be 1 ohm. Wiring a 2 ohm speaker to an amplifier rated to drive a 1 ohm load should work without any problems but expect the total power output to be somewhat lower than with a 1 ohm load.
How do you convert an 8 ohm car audio amp to a 2 ohm car audio amp?
you dont
What ohm speaker is best?
take a 2 ohm bridge into 1 ohm
Can you overload a channel on a amp?
Yes you can burn a channel on an amp. Which is do to a overload. Like a 2 ohm load on an amp that is not 2 ohm stable. Will burn out a channel or both channels.
What size amp do i need for two 10 inch kicker comp's?
You could go with a 600 watt 2 ch amp or a 300 watt mono block amp, depends on what OHM the subs are, if they are 8 ohm you could wire them down to 4 ohm or if they 4 ohm u could wire them to 2 ohm, i have a 600.1 Boss amp and subs are wired together at 2 ohm and they BANG.
Can I connect two 2 ohm speakers to the front channels of my amp and then connect 2 4 ohm speakers to the rear channels of my 4 channel amp?
This depends on your amplifier's specifications. i would recommend looking in the amplifier's service manual to avoid disapointment or damage to your amplifier or speakers.
Can you run 4ohm resistor to make 4 ohms speakers 2 ohm?
Yes, you can safely use a 4 ohm amp with one 8 ohm speaker, but you will not achieve full power. The 4 ohm amp is designed to supply a certain voltage into a 4 ohm speaker. Supplying that same voltage to an 8 ohm speaker will result in half the power, or -3dB. For maximum power, use a 4 ohm speaker, or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel.
2 ohm speaker dvc in series?
That would yeild a 4 ohm load
1994 explorer with jbl system the rear sub speaker is blown can you buy a another 8in jbl speaker and wire it to the rear amp and put in a box if so what ohm should the speaker be?
yeah it dont matter the ohms as long as its 2-4 ohms and u should be safe cause the amp will auto ajust to 2 ohm or 4 ohm...............good luck but u wont have the power to push it .....try it and if it dosent have power to push it ad an mtx amp This is a special JBL speaker for the Ford/JBL system. You can have it repaired for around $40 at www.simplyspeakers.com. Call 1-800-511-3343. Servcie takes about 1 week and it will perform just like new!
Stereo onmy motorcycle that has 2 ohm factory speekers hooked upcan you replace the speakers with 4 ohm and if you do how will they sound?
They would sound fine. Its the speaker that's 2 Ohms not amp. Marine speakers work great on motorcycles. Hold up better
