Tweeter Ohm Loads

[Got_Bass89]

So I was looking at some tweeters and some are normal 4ohm or 8ohm but some don't list an ohm load at all... I got a pair of hella cheapos that came free when I ordered 1/0 ring terminals and they have no ohm load either..

My guess would be that its just high ohm tweeter that wont make different in load on amp?

Donno.. What you guys think? Don't know much bout tweeters...

bro an easy way to test it is a dvm but its more than likely 4 ohm

[Got_Bass89]

Ya colt... Ima go test it but what should I expect if I order a tweeter with no ohm rating... Always wondered...

that is a good one lol let us know what come up with

[Got_Bass89]

Few examples... Not saying I would run these or getting.. Just examples lol

i just went to text one.. and it worked on my house stereo.

but showed nothing on 2 different dmm's

just now i also checked a pdbt18

pyle pro bullet tweeter.

they say it 4-8 ohm.

it read 4.1 ohm.

hmmmm thats weird

[Got_Bass89]

Ya I think I tryed to read one a while back... Think it was too high or something and wasn't reading but too lazy to go out to garage and check the cheap ones I have...

I know somebody knows there tweeters on here

i just edited my first post..

but the first tweeter i checked was one of those free with purchase kind.

ehh ill edit this one also!

lol i just checked a audiobahn tweeter from a component set.

read 5.1

the reason why it dont run a ohm load is because of the resistor/capasitor xover inside of it blockin it from showin any ohm loads, none of my tweets like that have shown a ohm load, and do not affect an ohm load ona amp, i got a set of 4ohm kicker ks 6&1/2'' componits and coax and a set of q-power chrome tweets ran to a memphis pr150.2 and my ohm load is 2.2ohm so the tweets have no affect, and i think this is because when u run a comp set it aint runnin @ 2ohm but @ 4ohm because the coil is alot bigger on the mid than the tweet and alot smaller wire to go threw prolly why it dont show any form of ohm load, but on bigger tweets like bullets n what knot are alot more complex and hence why they show a ohm load, basicly a tweet works just like a woofer but there short on xmax, thats why they cant play below 2500htz i think due to to much movement, a tweeter does move but really fast, thats why theres more tech behind tweet magnets because theres not enulf movement to keep them cool

im not by any way an expert on anything but i kno a few things from pittling around here n there, and those cheap tweets are 4ohm but the risistor cancles it out due to how its intergrated, so its basicly there but does no change in ohm load, u can try hooking it up in with another speaker n checkin and still only read that one speakers ohm load

hope this helps
