My existing speakers are 2 OHM impedance. Will I be able to use these since they are 4 OHM?

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

Are these 4 ohm speakers going to be used on the existing head unit? If so..it is not advisable to use 4 ohm speakers unless they are amplified.

They might seem just a little bit quieter at the same volume as you 2 ohms. But they should work fine.

No reason you can't, they are all 4 ohm. You may lose some of the sound quality because I believe there is more than one speaker in the fronts.

They will work fine. They are 2 ohm but it's more for power purpose. They will sound loud with lower wattage. Don't expect bass. They have crisp highs and they are a good rear fill speaker.

No I have not, but if it's a 4ohm rated amp I wonder if there will be adequate power to sufficiently power them (depending on your needs), as these are 8 ohm speakers.

Sure. That should work ok. Wire your 4 ohm speakers in pairs in parallel and terminate on each of the 2 inputs. The switch has impedance matching settings as you increase the number of speakers. Terminating more than 4 wires will be the challenge under the terminals. Oh by the way. This switch was under $30 just 2 months ago, not $47 today.

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.

They're supposed to be 4 Ohms even though the back says "4/8 Ohms" but in reality they're less than 4 Ohms - a tad under 3.5 Ohms. unless your amp/reciver can tolerate resistance of 2 Ohms which very few can, don't wire them in parallel with an 8 Ohm speaker. I did and it almost fried my receiver.

NO. Specs say: 4 ohms: 1500 watts x 1, 2 ohms: 2000 watts x 1, 1 ohms: 2800 watts x 1. So the most you could ever get is CLAIMED 2800 watts if your speakers are wired to 1 ohm (you would need two 4ohm DVC speakers, or one 2ohm DVC speaker)

My Tech checked them, they are 6 ohm, however please understand that this is a complete Bose system, not intended to be used with other systems Amps, so if you were to use these speakers in any way that is not intended by Bose. And the speakers are damaged, I can not have them returned for a refund, I appreciate your interest, but must make this clear, as I said this is a complete Bose system, and not to be connected in any other way, thanks, Jack

Thank you for asking. The powered outputs on this are stable down to 4 ohms. As long as the impedance on your speakers is high enough the amp will be ok. If the speakers are rated to the right power they will be safe as well. Have a great day!

mine are in 8 ohm infinity Kappa 7 now and I am sure they will work fine on 4 ohm.If you do go with these be sure to break them in for a little while at low volume levels

Should work ok. Wire them in parallel to get a 2 ohm load and all will be well.

That depends on what your amp output is. If your amp only supports 2 ohm speakers then no they will not sound good these are 4 ohm speakers. I got a pioneer deck and a amp bypass wire and they sound awesome!

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

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

The question should be what are the impedances of your speakers. According to the Installation Guide "As more pairs of speakers are connected to a receiver the overall system impedance becomes lower. Ex: 2-pairs of 8-ohm speakers lowers the impedance to 4-ohms" The Niles allows impedance correction. It will handle 3 or more pairs of 8-ohm speakers protecting he receiver from low impedance loads.

yes they can, but you need to be aware of the Impedance. if you daisy chain 2) 8 ohm speakers you get 16 ohms if you parallel them you get 4 ohms
