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.

Will 4 ohm speakers work with a 6 ohm amplifier?
It's a myth. There is really no 6 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
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.
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.
Can a 8 ohm speaker replace a 6 ohm speaker?
You need to find out how many ohm's your deck is pushing out and make sure you have the right grade speaker wire so you don't under power the speakerRubbish. A "deck" doesn't "push out" ohms.An amplifier is designed to develop a stated power in a stated impedance, and that is based on the amplifier's ability to deliver current.An amplifier designed to deliver maximum output to a 6 ohm load can safely drive an 8 ohm one. But it will not be able to develop its maximum power.
What happens when you have a 4 ohm and a 2 ohm sub hooked up to an amplifier?
Yes, you can wire a 6 ohm sub with a 4 ohm sub to the same amplifier, but you need to verify that the amplifier can handle the resulting impedance of 2.4 ohms - many cannot, and could be destroyed. Also, realize that the power in the 4 ohm sub will be greater than the power in the 6 ohm sub.
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 match a 6 ohms impedance amplifiers with 4 ohms speakers?
There is really no 3 ohms amplifier on the market with an output impedance of three ohms for power matching. You will find there 0.3 ohm or less for voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units - Power amplifier and passive loudspeaker".
Will 8 ohm speakers work with 6 ohm system?
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
Will a power setting for 8 ohm speaker damage a 6 ohm speaker?
Maybe. And it might also damage the amplifier. It depends on what power level you try to use. An amplifier designed for an 8 ohm speaker will push a certain current into that 8 ohms and be able to generate a certain voltage and power. All amplifiers have limits on both current and voltage, and they are optimized for a certain impedance load so that those limits occur at approximately the same point in power production. If you replace the intended 8 ohm load with a 6 ohm load, then the same voltage will generate more current and more power. Similarly, the same current will generate less voltage and less power. So, the answer is that, unless you match the amplifier's intended load impedance, you will not achieve rated power, because either the amplifier's voltage limit or its current limit will be reached earlier than expected. If you try to achieve rated power with a mismatched load, something is going to break, most probably the speaker, but the amplifier is also at risk.
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.
Will 6 ohm surround sound speakers work with an 8 ohm amplifier?
It's a myth. There is really no 8 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
Will 6 ohm speakers work with 8 ohm amp?
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
