take a 2 ohm bridge into 1 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.
Yes, but you won't get rated pwer. Best is to match the speaker to the amplifier.
Study ohms law to get your head around it.
You can't change the ohm load of a speaker. What you can do, is get a second 8 ohm speaker to run with that speakers in series and you will get a total ohm load of 16 ohms.To run them in series, simply wire the positive terminal of one speaker to the negative of the other speaker. One speaker will have an open positive terminal which you wire to the positive terminal on the amp, and same goes for the negative on the other speaker (to the amp's negative terminal of course).
You "can" add a four ohm resistor in series with a four ohm speaker, and make it look like an eight ohm speaker, however, the frequency response will not be the same. It is better to use to correct speaker for the amplifier, or use two four ohm speakers in parallel. That resistors power rating must exceed the rating of the speaker. Half the from the amplifier will go to the speaker, while half will go to the resistor, making it get quite hot.
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.
The recommended impedance matching between an 8 ohm amp and a 16 ohm speaker for optimal performance is to use a speaker with an impedance that is equal to or higher than the amp's impedance.
4 Ohms. Can use any standard 4 Ohm speaker as long as you don't chassis ground it.
That would yeild a 4 ohm load
To safely connect a 16 ohm speaker to an 8 ohm amplifier without causing damage, you can use a series resistor in line with the speaker to match the impedance. This resistor should have a value of 8 ohms to create a total impedance of 16 ohms when connected in series with the 16 ohm speaker. This will ensure that the speaker and amplifier are properly matched and protected from damage.
To safely connect an 8 ohm amplifier head to a 16 ohm speaker cabinet, you can use a series connection method. Connect the positive terminal of the amplifier to the positive terminal of the speaker, and then connect the negative terminal of the speaker to the negative terminal of the amplifier. This will create a total impedance of 24 ohms, which is safe for both the amplifier and the speaker.
the impedance of a speaker is a characteristic that is has. A 4 ohm speaker will always have a 4 ohm impedance and it cannot be changed. If 2 speakers of 4 ohm impedance are wired in parallel, then the total impedance will be 2 ohms. Similarly, if you wire 4 speakers together, the total impedance will be 1 ohm. Wiring a 2 ohm speaker to an amplifier rated to drive a 1 ohm load should work without any problems but expect the total power output to be somewhat lower than with a 1 ohm load.
