Will there be any problems with using this amp with 6 ohm speakers?

I am powering a pair of Aperion Verus Grands rated 6 ohms and have no issues at all.

No problem at all. Also for future reference, say if you have an amp with four and eight ohm binding posts, just wire the 6 ohm speakers to the 8 ohm posts and rock and roll!

None whatsoever. I have 4 ohm speakers on mine and Emotiva certifies it at 4 ohms.

No problem at all. My speakers are 4-6 ohms with dips lower than 4 and it doesn't even get warm.

i use it with emptek 55ti and their 6 ohm and its awesome,i just wouldnt use it in monoblock mode with 6 ohm speakers.

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms. To learn more about properwiring and Ibm's law you can find it at 12volt.com

In a simple answer, no it won't. Mine was less power than needed for two budget coax 6 inch door speakers. To get any thump look for the higher powered name brands, in either single channel, or dual channels you can bridge. 2ohms will take a good bit of power to get decent bass. I bought this same rated amp 20 years ago, and it made two 6x9's sound good, and loud. No way I would buy this one again, and I wish I had never bought it. Come to find out it has the same power as the 15-20 year old alpine in my dash, so there was almost NO change in loudness.

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp..I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..

I am not familiar with these, but if they are 8 Ohm they will push this amp harder than 4 Ohm speakers. Still, should be fine. I am using it with some Martin Logan 10's and it is extraordinary

This shouldn't be a problem at all. I use a number of different amp heads with this cab and they all sound great. Just be sure to match the ohms setting from the amp head to the one on the cab.

from my understanding your speakers ohms should not be lower than your receiver/amp. This will have your receiver working overtime to power those speakers which may casue overheating. For a 8 ohm receiver the lowest I would go would be 6 ohms; I think 4 ohms is pushing it.

Either 6 or 8 ohms should not make a difference. Any home receiver will be compatible. These speakers are used as satellite speakers in my application since they do not produce a lot of bass.

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

Yes. The instruction manual says this receiver supports use of speakers from 6 ohms to 16 ohms. Lower resistance speakers can cause overheating, it says.

Hi Clay, Based on the usage I give to this amp, I don't think will be a problem. I have connected two 8 ohms speakers and often to highest volume, using the power supply provided, and not meaningful warming up. However, I don't think is good idea to close completely ANY electrical device. Leave a minimal air entry and I don't think you will have problems, using it inside specs.

I'd leave the selector at 8ohm and run the mix of 6 and 8 ohm speakers. It should be fine. The only way you'd run into a problem is with 4ohm speakers, and in that case you should be using a discrete amplifier.

Yes, this amp will be enough. I have mine powering four 6.5s with 60 watt rms.

I checked the specs on this amp and it is two ohm stable. No need to bridge. With just these 4 speakers and single amp, you should get 100x4 @ 2 ohm(RMS). Which is within the range of the speakers. The Peak power is 235x4 @4ohm, which may be slightly higher @ 2 ohm. This is just above the recommended power for the speakers, which should not pose a problem as long as you don't max out the gains and volume on the head unit.

You could wire it that way running some in series and some in parallel if you know what you're doing, but getting good balance might be tricky. For example, you could run 4x6 in series with a 6.5 on each of the two front channels, the 6x9s on the back channels, then run the sub channel bridged with the 8s in series in parallel to the 12s in series. You'd probably be louder and sound better just ditching the 4x6s and 8s though and using the amp like it was meant to be used. I run 4 6.5s and 1 12 and its retardedly loud

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!

Yes, but you will not get the full power from the Amp. You most likely will not notice it, but there will be a loss due to the mismatch. It's in the online manual which you can download from the WEB, it's on page 14. (You have to change the settings on the Amp. so get the book from the Web. and look at it to see how you make the change from 8 to 6 ohm. 8 ohm is the default setting. The PDF file is protected so I can't send it to you on here, you will have to get it from the web "Google it", and you should find a copy.
