can i use these 2 ohm component speakers directly with the radio Pioneer AVH-X4600BT wich is 4 ohm ??

I do believe these speakers are 4 ohm, it says 2ohm on the website, but the box that it come in says 4 ohms, these speakers are really nice, I still can't get over how clear they are, working on putting a small amp to these component speakers,

Small screen smartphones, big fingers and typos. They just seem to go together.

No, you shouldn't. Ohms are a measure of impedance and shoukd be matched between the speaker and the amplifier. Will it work? Yes, but it will overdrive the amp, lead to wxcessive heat and (substantially) shorter life.

My box says 2 Ohm but JBL has the true 4 ohm which creates a 4 ohm appearance to the radio. I had the same concern and have not had an issue

The receiver can easily drive 4 ohm speakers. The RMS power rating of 80W applies to 8 ohm speakers, so the power output for 4 ohms will be somewhat greater. You can change the speaker impedance from the default setting of 8 ohms to 4 ohms using the "Advanced Setup" menu as described on page 37 of the owner's manual.

4 ohms is the modern standard, and these speakers match that standard. Antique car radios (tube electronics, made before c.1965) may require 3.2 ohms. 2 ohms is for specialty applications (e.g., Bose and some "enclosure-less" subs).

The mixer is to be used with a main amplifier. The mixer cannot drive the speakers directly. BTW when you connect the amp to the speakers check for the minimum load / impedance to make sure it will drive 4 ohm speakers.

Yes these are 2 ohm, and awesome speakers. I have friends with different name brands in their cars and tell me they want to buy some jbl's now that they've heard mine and I only have a stock head unit

Using two 16 ohm would be the same as using four 8 ohm. You would be getting about 30 watts of power to the speakers. That is not much!

Yes they can be used with a 4 ohm amp, but the volume will be less than normal. You will need to crank them up to get a normal volume. Shouldn't be a problem unless you want to listen a very loud levels.

These are passive speakers .All you are required to do is connect speaker wire from a receiver or amplifier. The electrical resistance of each speaker or ohms. I never really checked. HOWEVER ,due to the cheap cost of these speakers I am confidently predicting that they are 8 ohms. Only if they are connected in parallel with the receiver will the electrical resistance be change to 4 ohms.

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)

I would expect that if your speakers are more than 4 ohms when connected you'll be fine. It really doesn't matter what your speakers are rated only their impedance usually 4 to 8 ohms.

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.

4 ohm according to Pioneer's site: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Speakers/G-Series/TS-G1644R

Yes it will work for 4 ohms speakerLess than 60 watts per channelUnit is very bad, pictures looks awsomeBut not real functionBetter to get vintage receiver for $50It will way better than thisGood luck

These speakers are very good and they sound perfect, I have connected the 6 ohm amplifier pioneer in AH1019K

This unit is built for output impedance 4-8 Ohm. By using 2 Ohm speakers you are risking to burn unit amplifier; this is not really high end equipment. This unit has RCA output and option to attach an amplifier; that would be better way to go.

Sure, you'll want to wire them differently depending on the specs. If they're 2ohm speakers you'll want to wire them in series so they have 4 ohms of resistance. If they're 4 or 8 ohm you'll want to wire them in parallel for a 2 or 4 ohm resistance.

Yes, but the speakers must be 8 ohm speakers. You can not use 4 ohm speakers. If you are only using 1 pair of speakers, then you can use 4 ohm speakers. Most speakers are 8 ohms, but check to be sure.
