Is a 4 ohm subwoofer better then a 8 ohm subwoofer?
You need to match the speaker with the amplifier. Better or worse is not the question. The question is dynamic range and the possibility of overloading the amplifier. If the amplifier is rated 4 ohms, use a 4 ohm speaker. Same for 8 ohms. Do not "mix and match".
How do you wire one 4ohm sub?
You can't. Two 4 ohm speakers in parallel equal 2 ohms, and two in series equal 8 ohms. It is possible to wire four 4 ohm speakers so that the load is 4 ohms though. Put two in series (8 ohms). put the other two in series (8 ohms). Then put the two sets in parallel (two 8 ohm sets in parallel equal 4 ohms).
How many ohms of speaker do i need for my 500 watts 2 channel amplifier?
For a 500-watt, 2-channel amplifier, the speaker impedance you need depends on the amplifier's design and configuration. Common speaker impedances are 4 ohms and 8 ohms. If your amplifier is rated for 4 ohms, you can use 4-ohm speakers for maximum output. However, if it’s designed for 8 ohms, using 4-ohm speakers may lead to potential damage, as it could push the amplifier beyond its limits. Always check your amplifier's specifications to ensure compatibility.
What is differents between 4 ohms 8 ohms?
It has to do with the load on the amplifier, you can't hear the difference.
If an amplifier has an output of 350 watts rms 8 ohms what is the output at 4 ohms?
There is no amplifier with an output impedance of 8 ohms or 4 ohms on the market. All audio amplifiers really have an output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms. Scroll down to related links and look at "Amplifiers, loudspeakers and ohms"
How can you tell if a 4 channel 800 watt car amplifier is 2ohms or 4 ohms?
Your 4 channel amplifier has neither a 4 ohms nor a 8 ohms output impedance. The output impedance will be smaller than 0.5 ohms. In audio we only use amplifier and loudpeaker bridging. Don't believe the myth of matching. Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".
What amp should you use to power your subs?
The ideal amplifier for your subwoofers depends on their power handling and impedance ratings. Generally, you should choose an amp that delivers power within the subwoofers' RMS (Root Mean Square) rating for optimal performance without distortion. Additionally, make sure the amp's output matches the subwoofers' impedance (e.g., 2 ohms, 4 ohms) to ensure efficient power transfer and avoid damaging the equipment. For best results, consider an amplifier specifically designed for subwoofer use, often labeled as a "subwoofer amplifier."
How many ohms is a computer speaker?
There is no single standard. Many computer speakers are rated at 8 ohms while others are 16 ohms or higher. My computer subwoofer here is 4 ohms.
What do the subwoofers ohms for?
the ohm is a unit of measurement based off of someones last name. When used in subwoofers, for example 4 ohms or 8 ohms, it actually determines the amount of watts the speaker needs. Like if two identical subwoofers were taken and one was 4 ohms and one 8 ohms and applied say 150 watts to each of them, the 4 ohm would be louder because ohms are the speakers resistance and the lower the ohms the less amount of power it takes for the subwoofer to reach a specific loudness. That's why professional huge subwoofers may be one ohm, because an amplifier that has less power than the sub could still power it because since its one ohm, the 500 watt amplifier at 4 ohms could be 1500 watts at 1 ohm.
What is the Difference between 4 ohm to 8 ohm output?
There is really no amplifier on the market which has an output impedance of 4 ohms or 8 ohms. The impedance of an amplifier is always less than 0.5 ohms. We do not use matching, we use bridging when we connect the amplifier to the loudspeaker. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units".
What happens if you connect 4 ohms impedance speakers which are 40 w RMS and 200w MAX to a 8 ohms and 30 w impedancece amplifier?
If the amplifier is not rated for 4 ohms impedence, you will quickly over-current the amp, burning out components. The power handling of the speaker and power output of the amplifier does not matter in this case. It must be compatible with the impedence load that you are connecting.
What is the best set up for two 8 ohm 1600w speakers and a 500w amplifier with outputs at 4 ohms 5.2ohms or 42 ohms?
Use 5.2 ohms, which is the closest to 8 ohms.
