This unit is designed to operate with five speakers which can be full range speakers, or the unit can be set up to deliver only mid and high frequencies above say 100Hz and feed a sub-woofer amplifier and speaker for the bass. Those settings are part of the setup of the unit. If you are asking to operate the unit with only one speaker of 8 ohms, don't.

The receiver, using the supplied microphone, will balance the levels from the various speakers for best listening results. Unless you are operating the unit at very loud levels, most listening environments do not use over about 1-2 watts of output. Your speakers appear to be able to stand very high power levels, so they would not be the issue. Do make sure that the receiver has adequate ventilation, especially if you really like to crank up the sound levels. 8 ohm speakers will work fine with the receiver. Just make sure that the connections are good and that there are no wire strands that could short across between the + output and the - output for each channel.

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.

Two 8 ohms speakers in parallel make a 4 ohms load. If you have 4 speakers you'll have to wire 1 set of 2 in series wicch will give you 16 ohms and set 2 in series also. Two 16 ohms wired in parallel will make an 8 ohms load

Not a good idea, running them in series wouold give you the same current through each speaker, which would still burn the smaller ones. If the speakers will handle at least 80 watts each speaker you can use this amp to power them at lower volume, but if they are 2 - 10 watt speakers don't try it. They should be labeled as to what power rating is for each.

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.

Yes you can. Specs say the amp is 2,4, or 8 ohms. Just don't mix on the A channel or B one 2 ohm and one 4 ohm speaker. If your going to install say the front speakers. Make sure they are the same ohms on the left and right. Same with the back speakers.

You can, but it will change the ohm rating if you use two or more pairs of speakers. The manual lists what ohms and wattage changes occur with each combination of buttons will be very clearly, unfortunately I can't seem to find it right now. I have only run one pair of speakers at a time personally.

Yes they r but u have to hook you speaker's up as 2 ohm the correct way. I have mine hook up at 2 ohms and they beat the crap out of my semi

I have 8 ohm B&W; cs1 speakers and use 6ohm without an issue. I'm not sure why they didn't design it for 8ohm

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

Not a good idea you should aim for a two channel amp our two one channel amps and try to match the ohms of the speakers with the amp to get the best out of them

Depends on what the ohm rating is for speakers you are driving. You'll realize more power to the speakers with 6 Ohm than with 8 ohm (140 per channel vs 100 per channel). The amp is rated at 100W per channel x seven channels @ 8ohm.

No way ! U need 300w per channel at 8 ohm to drive these beasts , unless u don't wanna use their full capacity . U can get preamp + amplifier (cerwin cv1800)... Not a receiver for these !

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

They are 8 ohm, check about a third of the way down the amazon page you will see product specifications where it is listed as well. They are amazing speakers for the money.

they are pretty powerful speakers, so i wouldn't run them with less than 1000 per channel. I use a pyle pqa3100, it is pretty cheap but works great with these speakers.

you would put the speaker in series to drop it down to 2 ohms if you parallel it it will come out to 8 ohms check with ohm meter if you don't believe
