ham4864 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Any body run there mids @ 8ohms and is the sound quality better/different I run 2 8ohm in parallel on Ch 1 and 2. If i run the 4 8ohm spekers series parallel to 1 ch will it sound as loud but clearer? Just curious 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 The 12" and horns in my car are 8 ohms. When I put the 15" midbass in they will be 8 ohm too. Amps run cooler with less stress. Never done a side by side comparison of sq between 8 and 4 ohms. It's more of a personal preference than anything. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this. http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Does_Speaker_Impedance_Affect_Tone. From experience and this article, the tone will vary between impedences of the speakers themselves, but the changing of impedence the amp sees will vary sensitivity and volume you hear from the speakers. My final answer: Try it out and see if you'll like the speakers with that extra punch. 2009 Dodge Caliber SXT (Silver) Deck: Pioneer X3600BHS Amps: RF P1000X5 Front: RF P16-S Rear: RF P1694 Subs: 1 RF P3D2-10 Cabling: Stinger 6 channel RCA, RF 4gauge kit, SkyHighCarAudio 16gauge speaker wire.
