No.

An amplifier designed for an 8 ohm load works best with an 8 ohm load. You can connect a 4 ohm load to it, but the current rating curve of the amplifier will not match the voltage rating curve, and will will not achieve rated power. Attempting to achieve rated power will result in damage to the amplifier.

Look at this mathematically...

If the amplifier is rated 100 watts into 8 ohms, then it can produce 28 volts doing so. It will also produce 3.5 amperes at that power. So, when we say the amplifier is rated 100 watts into 8 ohms, we mean that the amplifier is rated 28 volts or 3.5 amperes, whichever comes first.

Connect a 4 ohm load to this amplifier, and 3.5 amperes will induce 14 volts and 50 watts. You cannot get 100 watts because that would require 5 amperes and 20 volts, and the amplifier cannot produce 5 amperes.

How is sound ampifled?

By microphones, amplifiers and loudspeakers.


How do loudspeakers produce sound?

Loudspeakers produce sound by converting electrical signals into mechanical vibrations through a cone or diaphragm. These vibrations create sound waves in the air that are perceived as sound by our ears. The movements of the cone or diaphragm correspond to the variations in the electrical signal, reproducing the original sound.


How do loudspeakers work when attached to a guitar?

They sound if you have amplifier and shut if you don't


How does the sound from the loudspeakers reach the audience?

Because of the gravity of the earth


What is the abstract noun for loud speakers?

The abstract noun for "loudspeakers" is "amplification." This term refers to the concept of increasing sound volume, which is the primary function of loudspeakers. Other related abstract nouns could include "sound" or "audio," depending on the specific context in which you're discussing the function or effect of loudspeakers.


Do ears work like loudspeakers?

No, because the loudspeaker creates sound while the ear receives sound.


What are loudspeakers used for?

Loudspeakers are used to convert electrical signals into sound waves that can be heard by people. They are commonly used in audio systems such as music players, home theaters, and public address systems to amplify and broadcast sound.


What will happen to the sound waves from two loudspeakers vibrating in phase if the frequency increases and the wavelength decreases?

Assuming this happens in phase, the pitch of the sound will increase. If only one of the loudspeakers does this, they'll be out of phase, which will initially sound like a slow pulsed beat, but eventually will form a chord.


What is the name given to loudspeakers that are used to produce sound with a low pitch?

Woofers or bass speakers.


How much do Monsoon speakers cost?

Monsoon loudspeakers are available at an average cost of $99. The price will obviously depend on the size and model of the speaker. The more expensive they are, the better the 3D sound effects will be.


How does the sound from loudspeakers reach the audience?

Sound from loudspeakers is produced when electrical signals are converted into vibrations by the speaker's diaphragm, creating sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air and reach the audience's ears, where they are converted back into electrical signals by the ear's mechanisms for interpretation by the brain.


When you conect a tv t a CPU will you get sound?

If you connect it over a HDMI Connection and the graphics card in question running the interface allows for sound over HDMI, then yes. If you mean "Will I get sound from my computer as I always have.. " Then yes, you will as long as your primary audio output remains selected to your normal means (analog out, SPDIF, headphones, what have you.. ) Hope this helps!
