Depends on the amp and type of speakers brand and ratings would be nice info u also need to look at ohms of the amp and the speakers

How do you select speakers with respect to the impedance of the amplifier?
Amplifiers are rated to operate within a range of impedances. Typically, a domestic amplifier will drive a minimum impedance of 8 Ohms or 4 Ohms. Using speakers that have an impedance lower than the amplifier rating is likely to increase distortion and can damage the outputs of the amplifier if the levels are too high. Using speakers that are significantly higher than the minimum rating will not cause damage to either the amplifier or speakers but it will reduce the power that is delivered to the speakers. In most domestic systems, this limitation of the power output is not likely to be an issue. Any amplifier rated to drive into 4 Ohms will work well with speakers of between 4 and 8 Ohms. An amplifier with an 8 Ohm rating should be used only with speakers of 8 Ohms or higher.
What is the general rule in matching power amplifiers to drive speakers?
impedeance matching methiod is used to drive a speaker by any amplifier.
Do you connect speakers to receiver or amplifier?
Depends on what your definition of "receiver" is, but most of the time - to the amplifier. Consider: if the receiver is some form of a device that receives some signal, and then decodes it to audio, then the receiver will hook into the amplifier, which in turn will drive the speakers (so the speakers go to the amplifier) if, on the other hand, the receiver is a part of a wireless connection between the amplifier and speaker, then it really serves the role of a cable, so in essence you're again connecting the speakers to an amplifier (only using the receiver as an intermediary) You would have to specify your case.
Can you run 4 70w speakers on a 150w amp or will it blow?
It's entirely possible to use four 70W speakers with a 150W amplifier but the method will depend on the speakers and the amplifier specification. We will assume that the amplifier will deliver up to 150W per channel, so two speakers will be used on each channel. If the amplifier is rated to drive a 4 ohm load, then two 8 ohm speakers can be wired in parallel and connected. In this instance, take care NOT to drive the amplifier too hard. It will overdrive the speakers at about the same time that it will begin to show a distorted output. This is a condition that can easily damage speakers so be very conservative with the volume control. If the speakers are 4 ohm speakers, they can be wired in series to provide a total impedance of 8 ohms. If the amplifier is rated to deliver 150W into 4 ohms, then the total power to the speakers will be lower than to a single speaker. The benefit is that no speaker can be over-driven and there is a good amount of headroom for safety.
Can you splice an AV cable to speaker wire to plug in speakers?
Maybe. If you need to drive passive speakers, you will need an amplifier. If you have powered speakers, you might not be able to control the volume of the signal.
Will a 10w amplifier be all right with 180w speakers and are there any risks?
A: No speakers are not at risk. what it maybe a risk is the amplifier if it try to drive 180 watts load. but as long as you keep the level at 10 watts output it should work fine
How many watts does the behringer xenyx 802 have?
Xenyx 802 is not a powered mixer, you need a separate amplifier with it to drive the speakers
1 If you have just installed a new sound card and its drivers and connected the speakers and amplifier You insert a music CD into the drive to test the drive Windows Media Player launches and says?
Insert a music CD in the optical drive. A. Check the volume controls on the speaker amplifier.
How good is the anthem 225 amplifier?
Its indeed an amp with all high qualities, Can drive any moderate to current hungry speakers
Can you connect a pair of speakers to your computer?
In general, you cannot connect a pair of speakers to a computer, because the computer's sound board does not normally include a power amplifier fit to drive a speaker.It might be possible to drive very small speakers with a high impedance directly from a sound board's headphone output, though.Note that most "PC Speakers" can be directly connected to a computer's audio output because the speaker itself contains a power amplifier. Strictly speaking, such a speaker is a combination of a loudspeaker and an amplifier (sometimes also called an active speaker).
Will using a 2 ohm 1200 watt amplifier be ok to use with three 4 ohm speakers 12 and 2-10?
If you connect three 4 ohm speakers in parallel, the amplifier would see a load of about 1.3 ohms. This definitely could damage the amp if you drive it too loud.
My TV has an eight in audio out Can I use 2 converters a male banana to female quarter in and male quarter in to female eighth to connect the tv to the wall inputs?
The 1/8th inch jack connector in a television supplies a line level output suitable to drive headphones or an input to an amplifier. The level won't drive speakers without an additional amplifier so it should not be connected to speaker connections. If an amplifier is available, use a lead with a 1/8th inch jack to RCA connectors and feed the signal to the amplifier. Then take the speaker outputs from the amplifier into the wall connectors that run to the speakers.
