can a 4 ohm subwoofer be run with 8 ohm speakers?

I am running this sub with 8ohm bose speakers on an onkyo amp and it all works fine

Just use the pre amp sub out on an audio receiver. Makes it easier to just run a coax to the sub rather than series Speaker wire to lower ohms.or even Better do not wireless if you can't run a wire.Purchase a wireless audio transmitter single channel..hook it up and boom!

The new Harleys with four speakers have a 2 ohm system and amplifier. You won't get good results if you install a higher ohmage.

as long as the ohm load for both subs are no less then 1ohm yes the amp will work from 1 to 8 ohms

Hi, you should have no issues at 8 ohms. Used a dozen of these for an install last year and they sound great, and the moveable tweeter makes a difference

Yes, you should be able to power your 8 ohms speakers. Just don't daisy-chain another set of speakers.

If they're 8 ohm speakers, this may be a bit under-powered. They have a 3000 model that would be better suited for only a small amount more.

The speakers come with a book that shows you how to wire them for different ohm loads and I'm sure there are several diagrams avaible online as well but you shouldn't be hooking up subs to a four Chanel amp and not separate the voice coils out like that. I have 4ohm voice could and I believe there are more wireing options with the 4 ohm. I have 4 p2 connected to a one channel amp running at 2 ohms

Im by no means an expert but you can use the 8ohm output. However it may not produce enough volume to drive 8 speakers without distorting. The 70v is what I use to drive a 7 speaker setup in a restaurant.

yes, you can, but keep in mind that the nominal power for the amp is 300 W, you won't be able to extract more energy from the amp. (300 W is still a lot for a subwoofer!). You might want to connect the two subwoofers in Parallel and that will reduce the total ohms from 8 to 4. You can also connect them in series, but that is going to increase the resistance (to 16 ohms) and that will mean that the transfer of energy won't be optimal (i.e. they will sound with low volume)

It really doesn't matter whether they are 4ohm or 8ohm... most amps can handle a 4ohm load without any trouble. Having said that these are 8ohm speakers.

Sure, you'll want to wire them differently depending on the specs. If they're 2ohm speakers you'll want to wire them in series so they have 4 ohms of resistance. If they're 4 or 8 ohm you'll want to wire them in parallel for a 2 or 4 ohm resistance.

If your amp has a 2 ohm output impedance, it will drive 4 ohm speakers, but you won't be able to attain full dynamic range. I believe this sub comes in a 2 ohm version, just buy that one instead. Or buy 2 4 ohm subs and wire in parallel.

depends on how wire up your speakers. you can wire them in series or parallel. depending on the speakers resistance specs you can wire them a multitude of ways, especially if they are dual ohm voice coils. 2 single 4ohm speakers can be wired together as 8 ohm or 2 ohm setup. dual voice coil speakers with extend your options. do a little research on wiring subwoofers in series or paralell. you can definately make it work, but it may not have that punch and volume your looking for.

I'm no expert, and don't know what they mean by 4 ohm topology. Generally, the 4 ohm amp would be underpowered trying to drive 2 ohm speakers. Should be ok at low to moderate volume but high volume could overheat the amp. You should ask on a car stereo forum.

This receiver is capable to handle speakers from 4 ohms to 8 ohms, if your speakers are in this range there should be no problem at all.

The manual says the speakers should be between 8 and 6 ohms impedance. You probably would run the risk of frying the output amplifier by overloading it at 4 ohms.

Yes, I believe. The sub has dual coils and are each 4 ohm I believe. But if I remember my audio correctly, which I think I'm wrong, is when the coils are wired up, it adds to a 2 ohm speaker. Idk. But I am pretty sure that the coils are both 4 ohm. Hope this helps
