Best Answer

Most power amplifiers will handle a load of 6 ohms. The spec you need to look at is the power handling of the speakers. If they are rated for 100 watts program power, then look for an amplifier rated for 100 watts RMS output. Any amplifier can be connected with adapter cables to the typical 1/8" output of your computer.

How do you wire a sub in a Saturn sc?

Connect the sub woofer to the equalizer or amplifier. The positive wire will need to be connected to a power source. Connect the ground wire. Connect the auxiliary wire to the amplifier.


What is a channel in amplifier mean?

a channel refers to the speakers or subs. for example a 2 channel amp can power 2 subs or speakers. a 4 channel will power 4.


What size amplifier do I need to power 2 15 700w speakers RMS output power is 350w?

The speakers will work with any amp that outputs less power than 700 watts.


Will 4 5.5 ohm speakers connect to an amplifier with a 16 ohm output impedance?

Yes, they will. One can connect anything to anything else. Will it work? If so, how well? Is it safe? If the four speakers are connected in series, the total impedance of the speakers will be the sum of all the impedances of the speakers: 5.5 + 5.5 + 5.5 + 5.5 = 22 ohms The 22 ohm load on the amplifier will be a bit higher than the amp has been designed for, but the setup will work. At modest power levels it is doubtful that anything audible will be noticeable because of that slight mismatch, and as long as one doesn't crank it up too high, the amp won't notice the difference. It would be wise when hooking up the speakers to insure they are all hooked up in phase... Something important has to be added: There is really no 16 ohm amplifier on the market. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.08 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout

How do you connect 2 computer speakers with a sub-woofer to a flat screen TV?

The TV will need to have AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to connect to the speakers or a amplifier to power the speakers and subwoofer.


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).


Can I plug my home speakers into my computer?

No most home speakers are supposed to be powered through an amplifier. A computer will not supply enough power to effectively run those speakers. Plus the wiring for computer and home speakers are very different.


How do you connect 2 6 ohm speakers to an 8 ohm amplifier?

You can, but its power output will be a bit higher than its 8 ohm rating.


Can you run speakers with an amplifier that has a bigger rms rating than the speakers rms rating For example run an 80 watt rms speakers with a 120 watt rms amplifier?

Yes you can. Contrary to popular belief, an amplifier rated with a higher output than the speaker rating rarely damage the speakers. If the amplifier overdrives the speakers, the sound quality will be dramatically affected. Most listeners will turn the level down to reduce the distortion being heard. The amplifier's power rating is the maximum power that it can produce and it does not mean the output power will be at that level. On the other hand, an amplifier that is overloaded will deliver distorted signals to the speakers. At high power levels, the distortion can be damaging to the speakers in a way that simply over driving a speaker is not. Therefore, it is as safe to use an overpowered amplifier with speakers as it is an amplifier that is rated at the same power or even lower power than the speakers.


Can anyone suggest how can you choose amplifier and speakers?

you need to choose speakers according to the power supply of amplifier, so that the amplifier can wrok. Besides, to create good sound effect, you need to take your room area into consideration, if the room is small, amplifier and speakers with high power is not necessary. You can visit website of Unify company, they have many packages for amplifier and speakers, hope it can help somehow.


How do you connect stereo speakers to pc?

Regular passive (non-amplified) speakers will need to be connected to a power amp (an old stereo receiver can do this). Connect the line out of the computer to the aux or tape in of the receiver, and then connect speaker cables from the receiver to each of the speakers.


How many watt amplifier will power two 15 inch speakers?

50 watts is a good amplifier size for use in the house. For other applications speakers usually have a power rating.


What are the big speakers at a concert called?

They are called "PA" speakers. PA meaning "Public Address" is a large loudspeaker design to deliver sound to a large group of audience. You'll often see these large speakers at clubs, concerts, and cinemas. There are two types of PA speakers. "Passive" and "Active" speakers. The passive speakers doesn't have a built-in amplifier. These speakers will require the use of a power source called an "Amplifier" to power these speakers. The active speakers have a built-in amplifier and doesn't require the use of an amplifier.


Can I use an amplifier which provides less power than my speakers need?

If you use a lower rated amplifier than your speakers, your speakers won't be able to be as loud but won't suffer any damage.


How do i install new speakers on my computer?

Installing new speakers on a desktop computer is a very simple procedure. First, you must connect the speakers and the computer via usb cable that came with the computer. The best place to connect this perhaps is on the back of the computer. Then, plus in the 3.5 mm jack on the computer. Plug the power chord, turn the speakers on, and your all set!


I want to buy surround with sub speakers and receiver what kind of anp do i need to power all these speakers?

The receiver is the amplifier for all the speakers, except usually the sub, which is most common with its own amplifier.
