Will a 540 Watts x 1 RMS 4ohms Amplifier be suitable for a sub rated at 380 watt RMS with 4ohms plus 4ohms dual coil?

The problem you have there is that your sub woofer needs both coils wired and your options with that setup is either 2 ohms or 8 ohms depending on if you wire the sub itself in series or parallel. If you use a second sub like the first one and wire both subs in parallel and then wire the two subs in series you can achieve 4 ohms. You could also wire the subs in series ( 8 ohms each ) and then wire them in parallel to achieve the overall 4 ohms.

How are quad 34 preamp and 306 power amplifier rated?

What speakers match a 300 watt 4 channel amplifier?
The ratings for the speakers will depend upon what '300 watts' means. If the amplifier develops 300 watts RMS total across 4 channels, this would indicate 75 watts RMS per channel. Speakers rated at 100 watts should suffice for this amplifier.
Can I conect 4 ohm loudspeakers to 8 ohm output of my tube amp as the sound is better?
No. An amplifier designed for an 8 ohm load works best with an 8 ohm load. You can connect a 4 ohm load to it, but the current rating curve of the amplifier will not match the voltage rating curve, and will will not achieve rated power. Attempting to achieve rated power will result in damage to the amplifier. Look at this mathematically... If the amplifier is rated 100 watts into 8 ohms, then it can produce 28 volts doing so. It will also produce 3.5 amperes at that power. So, when we say the amplifier is rated 100 watts into 8 ohms, we mean that the amplifier is rated 28 volts or 3.5 amperes, whichever comes first. Connect a 4 ohm load to this amplifier, and 3.5 amperes will induce 14 volts and 50 watts. You cannot get 100 watts because that would require 5 amperes and 20 volts, and the amplifier cannot produce 5 amperes.
What power of amplifier do i need for 6 ohm speakers to connect them to my computer?
Most power amplifiers will handle a load of 6 ohms. The spec you need to look at is the power handling of the speakers. If they are rated for 100 watts program power, then look for an amplifier rated for 100 watts RMS output. Any amplifier can be connected with adapter cables to the typical 1/8" output of your computer.
How would you connect 1- 4 ohm 40 watt speaker and 1- 6 ohm 35 watt speaker to left output of an AV receiver with 8 ohm and 110 watt output. Same combo for right output?
The 2- 4 ohm speakers can be hooked up in series to make 8 ohms. you cant hook up the 2- 6 ohm, cause if you put them in series, you have 12 ohms. If you put them in , parallel you have 3 ohms out from av to +(4ohms), -(4ohms) to +(4ohms), -(4ohms) to - av. And do the math 4ohms plus 4ohms equals 8ohms. doing the math on the 2- 6ohm speakers... 6ohms + 6 ohms = 12ohms I dont think 12ohms would blow your system, but it wont sound right. now if you raise the volume too loud on the av you will blow the speaker coils out you may boost the wattage of the 2-4ohm speakers (in series) to maybe 70 watts total ******************************************* If you connect loudspeakers in series, the amplifier can not properly damp them, but, unless you are a fairly critical listener, you perhaps won't detect the difference. Connecting two 6 ohm 'speakers in series will give a load of 12 ohms, and will not "blow" anything. Connecting a load impedance higher than the amplifier's design load will do no harm at all. The only disadvantage is that the amplifier will not be able to develop its rated power output.
If you have an amp rated at 425watts 4ohms pushing a sub rated at 250watts 4ohms will the amp recognize the sub and only give it 250 or give it the whole 425?
it will not notice the sub as 250 so it will give 425 so you will have to tune the amp down so the sub does not blow out
Why are generators rated in watts?
Generators are rated in watts because watts are the scale on which energy is measured.
What kinda amp should you use for Dual BP1204?
The Dual BP1204 Woofer Box should operate properly with a power amplifier rated 600 Watts Peak or more into 4 Ohms.
What is 1.5 horsepower rated as watts?
1,119.4 watts.
How many watts is 20 rms watts?
Rms is watts that's the amount of watts a speaker is rated for.
What happens when two 250 watts speakers are connected in 75 watts amplifier in parallel?
They will work OK. When a speaker is rated at 250 W that is only a maximum and speakers will work will less audio power. Putting two speakers in parallel will double the total audio power output for a given volume setting.
