maybe I missed it but, how many ohms are these speakers 8? I know they do make some older R series that are 4 ohms

I question why someone would write an ad for a speaker, and not state the ohm rating. Seems I run into this type of lackadaisical advertising constantly.

They are 8 ohms not 4 car amps prefer 4 ohmsI am using them in a sub box to dj with

yes, just make sure they are 8 Ohm... Wattage is really the top end of how much power they can handle, the ohms is the impedance (think like resistance) if the impedance is too low, it is like shorting out an amplifier. Almost all speakers made today are 8 ohm. and 100 W of audio is way more power than is comfortable to listen to in any home setting.

I tried an old set of (I believe) 8 ohm speakers on the front right, left, and center channels and notice a marked improvement in sound quality. Do you have more information on this? Will the amp be damaged? Any idea where I can get better quality 3 ohm speakers?

8 Ohm, however they aren't very sensitive at 86db/W/m - meaning you'll have to drive them with lots of wattage (double that of a well build 89db/W/m) speaker. It's one reason a typical Onkyo receiver tends to output +/- 25% compared to similar models from Yamaha/Pioneer/Sony.

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.

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.

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.

Note that Samsung (and other manufacturers) are playing fast and loose with their wattage ratings. Most of these all-in-one units have 3-Ohm speakers, which means the power numbers are wildly inflated. Even worse, you can seriously damage your quality 8-Ohm speakers by hooking them up to the puny amps in these things.

these subs hit hard for the price man.. 2ohm or 4 ohm DVC's ?? id wire them at 4 ohms.. might be pushing it. since they are only 600 rms peak subs..

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.

I do apologize. I was wrong. I jus went and looked at the boxes they came in and they say 2ohms. Sorry for incorrect first answer.

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.

This amp has four channels if you are only using two channels it will be 4 ohms per channel.If you are using all four channels it will be 8 ohms per channel.Ensure that the speakers are wired accordingly(most likely series parallel as you have 8 speakers most likely of 8 ohms).The ohms at the amplifier terminals can be higher than 4 ohms per channel but never lower (in 2 channel mode).

They are 2 ohms, crutchfield has a typo on Details tab. If you download the owners manual pdf on the same page, you will see that entire line is 2 omhs. These speakers are a few years and one Gen old. The 11i tweeters sound a little better, but the 9i sound very good and just as loud. And make the most out of every watt sent from the head unit

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).

How do i know what ohm this receiver is? I'm sure i read over it several times and am just missing it.Does anyone reading this have a good recomendation for a power amp for my lsi9 speakers which are the 4ohms?
