what are the ohms ratings of these speakers?

The MB42X's impedance varies between 4 to 8 Ohms. Care must be taken to ensure that the amplifier being used is capable of handling a 4-Ohm load. Improper amplifier selection or setup may result in permanent damage to the amplifier or speaker. These speakers can handle amplifiers with outputs betwee 15 and 100 watts per channel as long as reasonable care is exercised. Personal Note -- These speakers are built to impress you with their sound!!!

Should be fine if they are 8 ohm speakers. I think RX-A2020 amps are overrated for power but I would not use it with 6 ohm speakers.

Got these hooked to a 8 ohm receiver and it performs great. The box said 8 ohm. Believe what you want. I have these mounted on my front deck.

They are rated at 2.7 ohms but Polk states they are compatible with factory and aftermarket 4 ohm systems as well. Google returns a lot of information.

You might want to try Infinity Reference speakers...good quality and they are 2 ohm speakers.

they are 4 ohms each coil. i wouldnt recommend wiring them down to 1 ohm because i had them at 2 ohms with an ssl 4000 watt amp and blew them. they say 2500 but they cant really handle as much as they say and they dont hit the lows as well as i hoped for. but anyways. the subwoofer will come with a wiring diagram on how to wire them to 2, 4, or 8 ohms. if you want a good cheap subwoofer i recommend the power acoustik mofo series. with sub woofers you get what you pay for. mofo's are definitely worth every penny. i had mine replaced with the mofo 122x. good luck and keep the bass bangin!

As long as they are 8 ohms and 90db efficiency or better. Don't expect ear-splitting volume, but should sound very lush!

Speaker needs same ratings or it might damage unit or speaker . 4 ohm 8 ohm or 16 ohm and wattage ratings need to be within ratings for both , polarity also should be checked

8 ohm. I couldn't be happier with these as surround speakers. I think for the price you just cannot beat them. Mounted high on the wall with the grills off, they look pretty sharp in all black. I have 4 of them in a 7.1 system.

yes, just make sure they are 8 Ohm... Wattage is really the top end of how much power they can handle, the ohms is the impedance (think like resistance) if the impedance is too low, it is like shorting out an amplifier. Almost all speakers made today are 8 ohm. and 100 W of audio is way more power than is comfortable to listen to in any home setting.

These are 6 ohm speakers so I will safely say no. You may want to contact the amplifier manufacturer for their input.Sincerely,Matt

depends on what the amp is rated. I run the new Infinity primus 3 ohm in the front and 4ohm infinity in the rear with a 8 to 2 ohm amp and they sound fine. usually the lower ohm (i think) speakers would heat up. but mine seem fine.

these subs hit hard for the price man.. 2ohm or 4 ohm DVC's ?? id wire them at 4 ohms.. might be pushing it. since they are only 600 rms peak subs..

4/8 ohm they work great I put them in my jeep on the dash to project sound towards me when the top is down.... Now I can hear the music again

They're 8 ohm impedance speakers. Will work with any receiver or amplifier expecting to see an 8 ohm load.Many 12v amps are looking for a 4 ohm load, which I think is what you're referring to. Some are switchable. You can wire these in parallel to get 4 ohms, but I doubt that would be practical for you, since you'd need to install two pair in order to do it properly. If your amp/receiver is expecting a 4 ohm load don't get these.

Check the Polk Audio website for the specs http://www.polkaudio.com/mm651/d/1151 . According the their specs - Electrical - Nominal Impedance 2.7 ohms

Hi, I apologize for my ambiguous answer: but it all depends on the spec of the speakers. i.e. Impedance and power rating. I would say that if the speakers impedance and power rate are in the 4 ohms and 60watts. Then it is ok
