Running lower resistance than rated.


BMS

Recommended Posts

On my head unit the font has 4 ohm speakers but the back has 2 ohm. The manufacturer says to use 4-8 ohm speakers. To my knowledge it is fine to run lower impedance speakers so long as you don't push the amp to distortion and keep the amplifier cool (both of which i am doing). Please correct me if i'm wrong. Anyway i was wondering not what the fader setting does but how it does it in detail. I was hoping that i could use the fader to both balance the output of the front and rear and reduce any extra stress caused due to the 2 ohm speakers. Also on my head unit sony mex-xb100bt the fader goes from 0 to 10 is that decibels (i don't think so but i cant think of any other unit of measurement)?

On mobile so I don't feel like typing up all the intricate details... but the jist of it is YMMV. You might be fine, you might break something. Really no way of knowing as it'll vary from install to install.

Easiest way is to install some 4 ohm speakers and rest easy
