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.


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.


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.


What is maximum current given to 8 ohm speaker?

A: is not current or voltage but rather the product that is of concern


Is better to work at 4 ohms or 8 ohms?

There is really no 4 ohm or 8 ohm amplifier on the market with an output impedance of 4 or 8 ohms for power matching. You will find there 0.4 ohm or less for voltage bridging.

How can I safely connect a 16 ohm speaker to an 8 ohm amplifier without causing any damage to the equipment?

To safely connect a 16 ohm speaker to an 8 ohm amplifier without causing damage, you can use a series resistor in line with the speaker to match the impedance. This resistor should have a value of 8 ohms to create a total impedance of 16 ohms when connected in series with the 16 ohm speaker. This will ensure that the speaker and amplifier are properly matched and protected from damage.


I have a home theater system i also have two different subwoofers 4ohms and an 8 ohms which one is better?

The impedance of the speaker does not determine its quality. Assuming that your amplifier can drive the 4 ohm speaker, you will notice that this speaker is louder than the 8 ohm one.


How can I safely connect a 16 ohm amp to an 8 ohm speaker without causing damage to either component?

To safely connect a 16 ohm amp to an 8 ohm speaker without causing damage, you can use a series resistor to match the impedance. This resistor should have a value of 8 ohms to create a total impedance of 16 ohms when connected in series with the 8 ohm speaker. This will ensure that both the amp and the speaker are protected from damage.


What ohm speaker is best?

take a 2 ohm bridge into 1 ohm


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.


What is the recommended impedance matching between an 8 ohm amp and a 16 ohm speaker for optimal performance?

The recommended impedance matching between an 8 ohm amp and a 16 ohm speaker for optimal performance is to use a speaker with an impedance that is equal to or higher than the amp's impedance.
