What are the ohms for this set of speakers? I have a new SONY STR-DH520 receiver that is rated 8-16 ohms.

Should be 8 ohms...not going to see lower then that unless you get the really high end audio stuff. Typically...even still 8 ohms is about the standard.

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.

Hi,Am in the same boat. Other differences I see are receiver is 6ohm for 6200 vs. 8ohm for 5300 with speakers being 6 ohms...somewhere read that 6 ohm driving 8ohm is not that good..(I am not a techy)Any of you decided yet?Also does anyone like the sexy Energy 5.1 speaker set (will have to buy receiver separately)...any comparisons?

The guy below is correct. It's rated for 8 ohms. It is a damn good stereo receiver for the price though. Don't let the namebrand fool you. I did hook up 6 ohm speakers to it though and it never really got hot. I never tried 4 ohm speakers though.

Great question. I have a set of small Bose bookshelf speakers that are 4 ohm. I just hooked them up a couple of days ago and they worked fine. I started with the power control turned all the way down on the Micro amp so as not to blow them and turned it up until I got the sound I wanted.

They have an eight ohm impedance. The Polk website has a very complete list of the specs.

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.

They are 34 OHMs. The are really efficient. I have run them off of several different devices and they will always go louder that I can listen without distortion.

Thang:Again thank you for your helpful response. I will now shop for a sub, and hopefully complete my system soon. It is a more difficult task than I first thought.I have the Bose single cube speakers that I plan to use, but I am unable to determine the ohm rating of these speakers. Can you assist me with this. I have been studying the 806 manual and the speaker ohm rating is one entry that needs to be input by me. Hopefully I will be able to get things up and running soon. Thanks.Charles

one more thing i forgot to mention son. remember this system is a 4 ohm system. you cannot hook it up to a "normal" stereo receiver because they are almost all wired for 8 ohm. my son`s friend bought these after hearing them at my house and hooked them to an integrated amplifier his buddy gave him and blew them up. my apologies if you already were aware of this.

My understanding is 2 OHM is better. I would however recommend you install the amp to get the proper sound that the speakers are capable of. I have not done this but I need to.

The speakers work on ohms and watts not on the voltage. So if the ohms coming out of the stereo is 8 ohms and the output does not exceed the 85 watts then it should work just fine

They have a sound frequency crossover installed. I connected across from the main speaker terminals. I don't know about the ohm resistance but they work great on my 5 ch. System.

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..

Yes the MB42X are 4-8ohm speakers but most 8 ohm receivers can power a pair of these so you're fine

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.

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.
