What is the difference between an amplifier and a speaker?
The subwoofer is the actual speaker making the loud bass. The amplifier is what powers the subwoofer and makes it work how it does. It only uses the low frequencies from the audio source and amplifies it.
Is every resistance load resistance?
No. Load resistance is the value of the element actually doing the work of the circuit it is connected to. A speaker connected to an amplifier is the load.
If you replace a 4 ohm speaker with an 8 ohm speaker can the amplifier blow the speaker?
A1: The output impedance of a power amplifier is always less than 0.1 ohms. There are no 4 ohm amplifiers on the market! A2: I actually just bought a new car radio/CD player that specifically shows 4 ohm speakers on the sticker. It is designed to work optimally with 4 ohm speakers. If you use 8 ohm instead, it will work, but you will not get the full power output that is specified. The amp can only kick out so much voltage and so much amperage - if it is designed for 4 ohm speakers, and 200 watts (stereo, so 100 watts per speaker), it can supply 20 volts (P = V^2 / R). If you used 8 ohm speakers to this amplifier, each speaker would only get 50 watts powered at full output voltage. Alternatively, if it is designed for 8 ohm speakers and 100 watts per speaker, it can provide 40 volts. If you used 4 ohm speakers instead, each speaker could be given 200 watts at 40 volts, resulting in severe overheating and damage to the amplifier.
What is a 2 channel amplifier?
A 2 channel aplifier is an amplifier that can operate two channels. It is basically two 1-channel amplifiers in a single box. This unit is usually intended for operating a left speaker and a right speaker. A channel is the signal/power combination intended for one specific speaker. A 'Stereo' audio system typically has a left channel and a right channel. More advanced audio systems may have separate channels for different types of speakers (midrange, woofer, tweeter, very commonly subwoofer, sometimes supertweeter) or for rear channels (surround.) This sort of setup was modern during the early 90s. A bridged 2 channel amplifier is constructed in such a way that the amplifiers can be set up to operate inline providing the effect of a more powerful one-channel amplifier. If durability is a concern, a bridgeable two channel amplifier used for two channels tends to work well because it's likely to have higher quality or just more diodes so as not to be destroyed too quickly during bridged operation. Using a more powerful amplifier with the gain turned down is also a good idea if longevity is a concern.
Can you play 8 ohm speakers on a 16 ohm amp?
There is no 8 ohm solid state amp. Really! The output impedance of such an amp will be arround 0.4 ohms. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two units- Voltage Bridging - Zout < Zin".You can, as long as the amp's impedance is much lower to the speaker(s) total ohm load you're fine. We have never impedance matching there.
Can you plug an acoustic-electric guitar into a bass amp?
Yes. While there are many different types of instrument chords meant for different instruments and even styles, all can be used to connect any instrument to any amplifier. The only exception is that a speaker cable (connecting an amp to a cabinet/speaker), will NEVER work to connect an instrument to an amplifier. Note that, in emergency situations, you can use any instrument cable as a substitute for a speaker cable. This substitution is mildly risky for your speaker, so try to avoid it. Also, NEVER use a bass guitar with a guitar amplifier. It can't handle the low frequencies of a bass guitar. You can use a guitar with a bass amplifier safely, but the tone will not be as good.
Would one brand of bass guitar work with a different brand amplifier?
Good question. A bass will work with any bass amp. That's the only restriction, you have to use a bass amp. If you try a regular guitar amp you may over drive it too much and damage the speaker. Hope this helps.
Is a subwoofer an amplifier?
no, a subwoofer is not a amplifier a subwoofer is actually a speaker that is made for bass. an amplifier is what helps the subwoofer work and sound properly when you install a audio system in your automobile or home.
Is there a amplifier that plays both bass and guitar?
Actually, you can play both bass and guitar on any amplifier. But to produce a better and lower sound for bass, you need a special amplifier for it. I am not sure that there is an amplifier that can play bass and guitar with equal quality.
Can a bass guitar play directly into a cabinet without an amp?
No, a cabinet is just a speaker (or collection of speakers). A speaker needs to be amplified to produce sound. The same is true with headphones; they won't work plugged directly into an electric guitar or bass.
Will a bass guitar work with a guitar amp?
Of course. You will not get that "in your face" low end sound, and if you crank up the volume, you can blow a speaker out, but if you're sensible about it, it should work fine.
Can you use any amplifier for an ukulele or are there specific amps for ukuleles?
Any guitar or keyboard amplifier should work fine. A bass amp will work also, but you might lose a bit of fidelity or brightness in the upper range, since the bass amp is designed specifically for lower registers.

Can any bass amp work with any bass guitar?
Yes, any bass amp works with any bass guitar
Does the rock band bass guitar work on Guitar Hero?
no
Will playing a bass guitar through a guitar amp for gigging and practice damage my guitar amp?
Possibly. In my experience the bass will not work through a guitar amp?
How does an electric bass guitar work?
cool
