Yes, but you need a big industrial chopper/mixer!
Really need more information here. The total will be 2.67 ohms. If it is a solid state amp that is rated to go down to 2 ohms you should be OK. The 4 ohm speaker will get receive twice the power of the 8 ohm. If it is a tube amp that is designed for 2-3 ohms ( not likely) it would also be OK for the amp.
What else can I help you with?
Can a 4 ohm cabinet be changed to 8 ohm?
Its not recommended. A four ohm speaker cabinet can be changed into an eight ohm speaker cabinet, if you have enough speakers in the cabinet in parallel that can be rewired in series. Unless you have a high end cabinet, the likelihood of this is small.Two four ohm cabinets, however, in series will be eight ohms. Keep in mind, however, that doubling the resistance will halve the current, which will quarter the power. Also, changing the impedance of a speaker system will change the frequency response, because often the filters are tuned with resistors.
How does one determine the ohm value of an unmarked speaker?
I believe the ohm meter will read about 90% of the true ac impedance.
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.
What is the resistance of four 8 ohm speakers wired in a series?
Two 8 ohm speakers in parallel is 4 ohms, and the power will be split between them. However, unless the amplifier is rated for 4 ohm operation, you will not get the same total power out of the amplifer as you would with an 8 ohm load.
Will 8 ohm speaker work with 4 ohm bass guitar amplifier?
Yes. As long as the speaker impedance is higher than the minimum rating for the amplifier, you are OK.

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.
How can I safely connect an 8 ohm amplifier head to a 16 ohm speaker cabinet?
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.
Marshall jmp 100 watt ohm selector switch settings?
To set the Ohm selector switch on a Marshall JMP 100 watt amplifier, you need to match the impedance settings of the amplifier with your speaker cabinet. Ensure that the Ohm selector switch on the amplifier is set to the same impedance rating as your speaker cabinet (e.g., 16 ohms for a 16-ohm cabinet). Using mismatched impedance settings can damage your amplifier and speakers. If you are not sure about the correct settings, consult the manufacturer's manual or a professional technician.
If an amp runs 1000 w rms at 1ohm how do you wire a dual 4 ohm speaker to run at 1 ohm?
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.
What ohm speaker is best?
take a 2 ohm bridge into 1 ohm
How can I safely connect an 8 ohm amp to a 16 ohm cabinet?
To safely connect an 8 ohm amp to a 16 ohm cabinet, you can use a series connection method. Connect the positive terminal of the amp to the positive terminal of the cabinet, and then connect the negative terminal of the amp to the negative terminal of the cabinet. This will result in a total impedance of 24 ohms, which is safe for both the amp and the cabinet.
What is the difference between a 8 ohm speaker and 12 ohm speaker?
Study ohms law to get your head around it.
How do i Make a 8 ohm speaker 16 ohm?
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).
Can resistance be added to speakers to make a 4 ohm speaker have an 8 ohm load?
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.
Will an 8 ohm speaker work with an 6 ohm amplifier?
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.
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.
