I am also looking for a better answer to this question. I have always known that almost all car speakers were 4 ohms, unless talking about subwoofers and/or dual coiled speakers, and that home speakers were 8 ohms. And until recently have thought this to be true. Until I looked on the back of my dads pair of Dynaudio speakers and saw that the impedence was 4 ohms. Now I am completely confused. Initially I thought it was due to the Voltage and Current that Car audio lacks and Home Audio has plenty of and then I see this!!! LOL
What else can I help you with?
What is 8 Ohms Stereo per channel?
Home stereo systems are usually built to work with speakers that have an impedance of 8 ohms, Car stereos are usually adapted to power 4 ohm speakers. You need to get this right if you want to keep your amplifier happy.
Is it possible to wire two 16 ohm speakers to a car stereo and if so bridged or in series or parallel or something completely different?
Typical car stereos run speakers at 4 to 8 ohms, so I would wire the two 16 ohm speakers in parallel to get a net 8 ohms. Anything over that would be a little much for a car stereo. You don't need to drive it that hard.
Are Bose car speakers 8 ohm?
they are probably 4 ohm
What will happen if you hook up a 2-Ohm Car Subwoofer to an 8-Ohm Home Receiver I have a Kicker Comp 12 2-Ohm Subwoofer so I was wondering if I could hook it up to my 8-Ohm Home Receiver HELP?
If your home receiver is not rated for a 2-ohm load (many can handle a 4-ohm, but not a 2-ohm), you will damage components inside the amplifier by over-current. Don't use car stereo components in home stereo equipment. It's like using a hockey helmet to ride a motorcycle.
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.
How could I wire coaxial speakers from my old car for use in a home theatre and what kind of ends would I need to buy for the speaker wire to be able to connect them to a home theatre setup?
Cars typically run 4 Ohm impedance speakers, while home stereos as a rule run 8 Ohm impedance speakers. They don't really mix that well. And what connector you'd need is impossible to say w/o knowing what sockets you have on your home stereo. It's probably RCA though.
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.
How do you ruduce ohms on speakers on a 12 volt car stereo 25 watts system the speakers are 2 ohms and stereo is 4 ohms?
That should work fine...matching is not critical. However if you want to be "pure", you could: 1...Insert a 2 ohm resistor in series, but that reduces damping and you may get coil resonances. 2...Install a 2 ohm to 4 ohm transformer. Hard to find and expensive. 3...Install two speakers in series, remembering to phase them correctly.
Can you use regular stereo speakers for computer speakers?
Yes, you can, if you have an amplifier. Connect the speakers to the amplifier and the amp to the line-out of your PC's sound card. You can use standalone amplifiers or even built-in amplifiers from different sound systems. Just make sure you have an input and an output you can use.
Can you put 4 ohms into 16?
Sure, If you mean your stereo has 4 ohm output and using 16 ohm speakers. The volume will be reduced somewhat by doing this, but it won't harm the stereo. If you have 4 ohm speakers and stereo is designed for 16 ohms you can do it ,but the amp will run hot and you may suffer damage at high volume to the amp.
Can you us 8 ohm impedance speakers in a car?
Oh, yes. Why not.
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
