I need to hook up 4" speakers to this receiver but all the ones i have bought have blown, what do you recommend ?

I recommend replacing the speakers that are blown. You will not get the full sound quality you deserve with those blown speakers

You need 4 Ohm Speakers that can handle 85 Watts of power. I used 4 Pyle speakers no problem.

The Max nominal output for this stereo is 85W per channel which is 340 watts in total (4 lines) I suggest you to buy each speaker of 100 watts

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.

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

I would highly recommend getting some better quality speaker wire ( such as 16-14 gauge). The wire that is supplied with system is very cheap zip wire.

I use a standard receiver (amplified) and 4 work fine. I added an amplifier/speaker switch to run 4 pairs or 8 speakers from the one receiver. But just for 2 pair any receiver (amplified) should work fine.

Get a better amp. Better amp=clearer sound=les distortion=no blown speakers including Sub. Good luck.

I have not hooked it up yet. On my receiver though I have separate sub woofer outputs. Put if you do hook it up in parallel it would be 4 ohms. Most systems are ok at 4 ohms.

That means for best sound you should use 8 ohm speakers to match the receiver. Strange things can happen to receiver if using less than or more than 8 ohm speakers. It is not worth the try.

Garrett- I went to a local stereo shop and bought a high quality speaker wire. But any speaker wire will work. The better the quality the better the sound though. Hope this helps.

Not to worry. All modern Audio/Video receivers can handle 4-16 ohm speakers with no degradation in sound quality. The most you will experience is a 1 or 2 DB drop in the cc speaker which is almost inaudible.

A good set of serious speakers for your new receiver would be the Polk LSiM707. It is a blast.

A good 400 or 300 watt amplifier will be ok. The speakers can not take more then 400 watts of peak power. It can cause damage.

Well ThAt It's A Speaker And It Doesn't Output Except For Decimals Of Sound. It Will Depend On What Ur Hooking Them Too. Amp? Head Unit? What Are U Trying To Do With Them?

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

This receiver is capable to handle speakers from 4 ohms to 8 ohms, if your speakers are in this range there should be no problem at all.

Hello Louise, Buy a sub that has Speaker level inputs and outputs on the back ( many polk, sony, bic etc. do). Simply install right and left speaker wires to the amp as you normally would for regular speakers. Then conect those wires to the r/l speaker INPUT on the back of the sub. Then run seperate wires from the r/l OUTPUT on sub to your speakers. Works and sounds great! Hope this helps. S

I am running:4xInfinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch 180-Watt High-Performance 2-Way Speakers (Two speakers on Channel 1 and Two speakers on Channel 2)1x Pyle PLPW8D 8-Inch 800 Watt Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer (Bridge Channel 3 and 4)(Running a 10" would be better since amp can run it fine)
