The speakers seem very similar to the stereo in specification and wattage, and the speakers have even been working fine for the most part. Only issue is the woofers on the speakers distort quite a bit on certain songs any genre at higher volumes. I understand that over powering speakers can cause distortion.

The main difference is that the speakers are rated at 8 ohm impedance and the stereo at 6 ohm. I have knowledge of electrical system but do not specialize in audio. Is this configuration safe for the speakers and stereo? Is there a way to properly change the resistance to adjust the impedance down i.

Dec 10, 0 11, When you use speakers that have a higher impedance 8 ohms vs. Running a resistor in parallel will lower the impedance to that the stereo sees, but the actual power in the speakers won't increase. As for the distortion, a speakers wattage rating is how much power can be dissipated by the speaker without causing damage to the speaker. Since the speakers are higher impedance as compared to the other speakers, a lower amount of wattage is being dissipated by the speakers.

Speakers have different efficiency ratings - basically, they will have a different reaction to sound and the very low end of the volume scale and the very high end of the volume scale. At low volumes, you don't have enough energy to effectively drive the speakers, it will distort. If too much energy, specifically bass sounds drums, bass guitar, etc , you will distort on the high volumes. It is more a matter of the efficiency of the speakers.

Generally speaking, higher rated impedance more ohms will provide less sound from the stereo, but they are safe for the stereo. Lower rated impedance less ohms could damage the stereo because too much current is flowing through the circuit.

The speakers are rated for W RMS, so there shouldn't be a problem. Different speakers will have different reactions - so if the old speakers could handle the bass at a level of "8 of 10" without distortion, the new speakers may max out at "7 of 10" TbsToy Estimable.

Sound quality, and things like distortion are the product of speaker quality for the most part.

Can I Put 3 Ohm Speakers in a 6-8 Ohm Receiver?

There seems to be a problem serving the request at this time. New or used 6 ohm speakers are a great way to improve the sound quality of your entertainment system. Whether you play music for groups or at your home, quality speakers can be a great addition. When used with the right entertainment system, you can transform just about any area into a theatre-like venue. These products are made by companies that are well-known in the electronics industry. Some of the companies you can choose from include the following:. It does not matter which type of configuration you want to create because the speakers are available to make it happen.

Speaker Impedance Changes Amplifier Power

Speaker impedance changes amplifier power output. In fact, your amplifier power could be nearly half or double its capacity — depending on the impedance of your speakers. But how much should this concern you? Impedance is measured in ohms.

Speaker Impedance Rating Explained

How to stop worrying about speaker impedance

You can use 6 ohm speakers with 8 ohm amplifiers typically. For example, if an 8 ohm speaker is drawing 50 watts, it will draw twice that power at 4 ohms. The amplifier may not have enough power to provide at 4 ohms and will clip and sound distorted. When you use speakers that have a higher impedance 8 ohms vs. While you can connect a mix of speakers with different ohm ratings, the best sound quality will come from equally rated speakers connected in pairs, such as two 8-ohm speakers connected to Speaker A on the amp or receiver and two 4-ohm speakers hooked up to Speaker B. Since impedance is a measure of how much the speaker resists current, the lower the impedance in ohms, the more power the speaker will draw from your receiver.

6 ohm receiver -- 8 ohm speakers

RELATED VIDEO: 8 Ohm vs 4 Ohm Speaker Box - Sound Difference - Klangunterschied - Звуковая разница - Zvukový rozdíl

People like to play music, often loudly, from their home audio receivers, and sometimes they desire to have a more powerful sound to listen to. One might ask, "Can I change the speaker, which is a Ohm, to a 3 Ohm and get a more powerful sound? Speakers are electromagnetic mechanical devices. They are designed to meet a wide range of criteria. Most are designed with a round appearance, but some are rectangular or oval. From a functional point of view, they convert an electrical current the audio signal into mechanical movement.

Can a 8 ohm speaker damage 6 ohm amp?

That speaker impedance rating on your towers and bookshelf speakers is held up as a mystery—something strange and mystic, yet dangerous. The bottom line is that people are confused about speaker impedance. I think the easiest way to define speaker impedance is to say that it is the resistance any speaker gives to the current and voltage being applied to it.
