bcharlsen Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 as the title says i have a 08 maxima with bose. i have been told that the amp is wired at one ohm. and then i have also been told that the amp is 4ohm. what is it really wired at?? and also if it is at one ohm ....... can i replace the speakers and not be worried about blowing any equipment?

SIDE SHOW Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Take a speaker out and test what impedance it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcharlsen Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 i have regular componet and coaxil speakers. people say that i cant use the bose amp bc its wired to one ohm. but from what i remeber amps just push power. they dont dictate how many ohms your speakers push. if im wrong please tell me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIDE SHOW Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Seems correct to me, but if your amp is sending say 40wrms at 1 ohm and you put a 4 ohm speaker on there it'll prob only receive 10wrms or so. so you will have a lot less pwr going to the speaker and I doubt would improve the sound quality much/ if at all.

bcharlsen Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I just don't want to blow my new speakers that I just bought. So you're saying I could be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrath Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Two things determine your final ohm load: 1. The ohm rating of the speaker. 2. How you wire the speaker to your amp. You have to find out how many ohms your speaker is and depending on how the amp is wired to the speaker this will dictate your final ohm load.
