No, you can't get 8 ohms with 4 16-ohm speakers. Here are the possible wirings:
+o-+o-+o-+o- all in series: 64 ohms
|+o-+o-|
|+o-+o-| series parallel: 16 ohms
|+o-|
|+o-|
|+o-|
|+o-| all in parallel: 4 ohms
.... Well in the conventional way it is not possible. But think of the speakers as load attached to the secondary of some transformer while the primary coil is attached to the amplifier block before (a tuned amplifier type). If we adjust the turns ratio as n = primary:secondary = Sqrt(2):1, then the eefective load on the amplifier would be Reff = n^2*Rp. Now as pointed in the parallel connection, Rp = 4. So, Reff = 8 Ohm.

Will using a 2 ohm 1200 watt amplifier be ok to use with three 4 ohm speakers 12 and 2-10?
If you connect three 4 ohm speakers in parallel, the amplifier would see a load of about 1.3 ohms. This definitely could damage the amp if you drive it too loud.
How do you match speakers to match a 4 ohm amp?
There is no need to match a 4 ohm speaker to a 4 ohm amp, because there is no 4 ohm amplifier on the market. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout
How do you reduce the ohms from 4 ohm to 2 ohm ON A 1000 WATT KICKER AMP MONO BLOCK IM RUNNING 2-15 AUDIO PIPE SUBS IN A SEALED BOX. THIS QUESTION IS FOR CAR AUDIO?
put 2 speakers in series
Can i plug my 4 ohms Guitar amp into 16 ohms speakers?
That should be safe; although you won't get the best out of the loudspeakers. It's a myth. There is really no 16 Ohm amplifier on the market. And there never was. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. That means the output impedance of the amplifier is much less than the input impedance of the loud speaker. The damping factor Df = Zin / Zout tells you what Zout is. Zout = Zin/Df. If the damping factor Df = 200 and the loudspeaker impedance is Zin = 16 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 16 / 200 = 0.08 ohms. You see, there is no "16 ohm amplifier" on the market with a 16 ohm output impedance. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging or impedance bridging - Zout < Zin".
Why does your aftermarket radio speaer dont work but your factory do?
Most likely the speakers are rated for different 'ohms' (or resistance value) in the car stereo wiring. For example, the stock speakers could be rated for 12 ohm wiring, but your aftermarket ones could be rated for 10 ohm wires. The aftermarket speaker would not work, because there is too much resistance in the existing wires. So, either find replace your stock speakers with an OEM (original equipment - manufacturer) part, find an aftermarket speaker that will work with your current wiring, or rerun your speaker wiring (not terrribly difficult, but should still be done by a professional.) Hope this helps.
Can you wire four eight ohm speakers to four ohms?
I presume you mean wired to four ohms amplifier output: In this case, pair the two speakers in in series which will make the give you 18 Ohms and then join the two pairs in parallel which will result in approximately eight ohms. Then connect then in that format to the amplifier. It will work for you.
How do you have sound with cable TV and DVD?
Most home speakers are rated at 8 ohms, but your receiver should be able to work speakers as low as four ohms, with reduced output. Car stereos are normally 4 ohms, but should work up to eight ohms, with reduced output. It's all in the design of the electronics.
Can you wire 2 16 ohm speakers to 16 ohms?
No. Two 16 ohm speakers connected together are either 32 ohms, if wired in series, or 8 ohms, if wired in parallel. You can, however, connect four 16 ohm speakers in series-parallel to get 16 ohms, with four times the power handling capacity of just one.
How does one practically apply ohms to amplifier vs speakers?
the watts for 2 ohms is more than 4 ohms. depending on the ohms your speakers take up and the wattage the speakers use, tells you what size amp you need.
What ohms are there in replacement speakers for 2004 Nissan Xterra?
There are 4 ohms
How many watts to you need to have four speakers at 8 ohms each?
It depends on the power rating of the speakers. There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. Please restate the question.
If two four ohm single voice coil subs are wired in parallel how many ohms will be on the amp?
Two four ohm speakers in parallel is two ohms. Make sure the amp is rated for that load impedance, or you could damage it.
How do you convert 8 ohms to 4 ohms?
wire two 8 ohm speakers in a parallel circuit!
How much ohms does 1500 watts speaker has?
The wattage and ohms of a speaker are not related; the resistance for speakers is usually 4 or 8 ohms.
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.
