Only if your amplifier is capable of driving a 4 ohm speaker. Some have a switch on the back to select 4 or 8ohm speakers. Details should either be printed some where on the back of the amp or the instruction manual

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.


How do you make a 16 ohm speaker 8 ohm?

You cannot make a 16 ohm speaker into an 8 ohm speaker. You would need to replace the voice coil. You can, however, put two 16 ohm speakers in parallel, and the equivalent impedance would be 8 ohms. The only remaining issue is frequency response, and that's a factor of speaker and enclosure design, so best is to use the exact speaker as originally designed.


Can you connect a 8 ohm speaker for a amp designed for a 4 ohm load?

You can, but the available power will only be about half of rated, and the frequency response will be slightly different. Better would be to connect two 8 ohm speakers in parallel, making an equivalent 4 ohm speaker.


How many ohms would 2 16 ohm speaker cabinets and 1 8 ohm speaker cabinet calculate out to be?

If wired in parallel then 4 ohms.


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".


Can you convert an 8 ohm speaker into 4 ohms?

Yes It all in how there wired up


Can you power 8 ohm speakers with a 4 ohm amplifier?

Yes, but you won't get rated pwer. Best is to match the speaker to the amplifier.


Can you replace a 8 ohm woofer with a 4 ohm woofer?

Of course! As long as your amp's minimum impedance is 4 ohms or lower.


I have a home theater system i also have two different subwoofers 4ohms and an 8 ohms which one is better?

The impedance of the speaker does not determine its quality. Assuming that your amplifier can drive the 4 ohm speaker, you will notice that this speaker is louder than the 8 ohm one.


What is the difference between a 8 ohm speaker and 12 ohm speaker?

Study ohms law to get your head around it.


What ohm should the speaker be if i want to achieve a 2 ohm load from 4 speakers?

Four 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel would give an effective 2 ohm load.


Can you use a 8 ohm 400 watt speaker on a 4 ohm 350 watt amp to play bass?

Yes, you can use an 8-ohm 400-watt speaker with a 4-ohm 350-watt amplifier to play bass. The speaker will receive less power from the amp, resulting in lower volume, but it won't damage the speaker or the amplifier. Just ensure that the overall impedance of your setup matches the amplifier's specifications to prevent any potential issues.
