CAN THIS HANDLE A SET OF (DUAL) 4 OHM SPEAKERS ??

I use this receiver to power a pair of these and it works great: http://www.episodespeakers.com/product/84/Episode-500-Series-In-Ceiling-Thin-Bezel-Speakers-with-8-in.-Woofers-%28Pair My only problem with this receiver is that it resets the volume level every time it is turned off.

Hello NebTheWeb, This receiver is capable of driving 6 ohms speakers. I use a set of Totem Dreamcatcher (4 ohms) and the receiver is behaving great.

If you have a 70w at 4 ohms minimum, this puts out 500 at 4 ohms. It will have no problem driving your current speakers.

I have not tried this but from the manual it describes utilizing both the A and B speaker sets. If this is similar to the stereo receivers of the 70s-80s, you would not want to use 4 ohm rated speakers as what normally happens is the speakers get paralleled and the resistance/impedance drops to 2 ohms and that the amp would never be able to handle without shutting down. If I remember, I will test this and comment further but everything I have read says this should work with 8 ohm rated speakers.

I have a lot head room have using 2 12" pyle speakers. From the other comments you probably don't want to try all 4.

Sure. It's in the provided specs. My main speakers are nominal 8 ohm, but dip down to 4. No problem. I've a friend with 4 ohm speakers and we tried the wadia on those, and no problems there either.

In bridged mode, I don't doubt it can. BUT I cannot say it will manage at 1 ohm. If you want it to give you a hard clean drive, wire speakers at 4 ohms and bridge it. Also make sure you have some strong amperage in your power supply...I am thinking you have dual coil kickers...I would recommend putting each speaker in 8 ohm mode then parallel them together to achieve the 4 ohm I previously mentioned.

what is the true ohm load at 4ohms and would it really push 4- 15 pa speakers with power to spare?

Wish I could answer your question, but I really don't know. Just a guess, if your speakers are higher than 4 ohm, it is probably safe, but someone else with more of electronics knowledge would be better to ask.

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

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.

This amp will be perfect for that, you will want to put two speakers in parallel on each channel, giving you a 2 ohm load on each. Like this http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/FAQ/Wiring/parallel.gif on each channel.

Shouldn't matter as long as your stereo system is pushing 8 ohms output. The only thing you might notice is different sets of speakers might have different volume levels when playing them together.

I would not recommend if your home theater is a true 5.1 or above home theater system. This will work with 8 ohm speakers (typical for home) but really ideal for just 2 speaker stereo system

Sorry! This question exceeds my pay grade. I've always used only 4 ohm, only 8 ohm or switchable 4 to 8 ohm speakers together.

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.

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.
