Texas Tech Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 If you put to 4 ohm speakers into one channel, making it 2 ohms would that be okay (of course with the right power and all)? What would be the bad part about this, what would i lose (if anything, maybe SQ i duno)? Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yes it would be okay. As long as your amp is either mono or 2 channel 2ohm stereo stable like most are. But dont connect it to the bridged output. you may lose a little sq but hardly any really because your amp wont be working that hard since its only a 2ohm load.

Texas Tech Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Okay I am thinking of buying a T4004, putting 2 pairs of speakers on the first 2 channels then using the second two for tweeters What about tweeters at 2 ohms?

Chode69 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 speakers can handle any ohm load...is the amp that takes a beating from a low ohm load. you can run a speaker at 8 ohm 2 ohm 6 ohm .5 ohm wont hurt it as long as the amp is stable at that set ohm load. with speakers though the lower the ohm load the more THD that will be produced. it SOMETIMES makes an audible difference depending on the quality of the amp. Some quality amps can sound better at 2 ohm than a crappy amp at 8 ohm.

Slinky Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 speakers are also usually more efficient when wired in parallel.

ChevyBoy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 speakers are also usually more efficient when wired in parallel. whatre you talking about? so quad 1 ohms wired in parallel are most efficient that a single 4 ohm? dont think so.

ChevyBoy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 uh no. amps are more efficient at 4 ohm than 2. so how am i an asshole? dumbshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
