Can these be used on an 8 ohm home speaker cabinet? What is the max wattage?

I don't think it would work very well. Because of the higher voltage used in a home unit, a greater internal resistance is used in speakers for indoor cabinets. It probably would function, but not like it is designed to. I believe max wattage is about 60 or so, if I recall correctly.

Yes they are, but if they are wired in series you will get 8 ohms and if they are wired in parallel it would be 2 ohms. So to get the 8 ohms you need, using the 4 terminals on the speaker, connect a wire from the positive terminal on one side to the negative on the other side. Now the 2 wires for the speaker connection ( positive & negative ) would connect up the empty positive and negative terminals that are left. This connection would give you 8 ohms.

I have been using these in my home theatre system for about two years and they are 8 ohm. I really like these....they open up after you use them for awhile...awesome speakers for rear surround channels...

Yes these are 2 ohm . They require a good break in before you dump the power to them but overall. You will be happy with these speakers.

These specs are listed by Amazon.com. They are rated for 8 ohms and 100 watts RMS (of continuous output), which means anything 8 ohms or less and anything 100 watts or less

Absolutely. The specs sheet info is aimed for 8 ohm speakers, therefore it should not have any problem powering 4 ohm speakers. By the way, wiat a power suply rated at 36V the max power rms it can deliver is 80W (40W per channel) if using 8 ohm speakers. If using 4 ohm speakers it should be able to deliver 160 W, but that would probably blow your speakers!

The 6 Ohm setting on the amp should work okay for your nice 8 Ohm speakers. Higher impedance speakers should dissipate less power and consequently might sound a tiny bit quieter than lower impedance speakers at the same volume setting. But I doubt you will notice any difference.

anything between 150 to 300 watt RMS per channel will power these speakers at 8 ohm I'm driving the Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2 300W RMS 8 ohm pre channel

Sorry I do not know the answer to your questions. I used them in a set of old Fischer cabinets that I have since sold. I can tell you that they were not that efficient. I had to push a fair amount of power through them to get a good sound. Probably really good for a very high powered system, but not sure what the distortion would be like at a really high power level. Good Luck

Won't work with a 8 ohm coil. I use it with a 12" single 4 ohm via bridge and the amps couldn't handle it. I think you should get a different amps or get 2 ohms speakers.

these Infinity speakers will handle 75 watts. I have an Onkyo at 65 per channel @8 ohms and the work wonderfully. It is hard to beat Infinity speakers. Good luck.

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.

Depends on your budget, but these are budget starter subs, so something light life 600rms so like 300 watts a piece n 2 ohms if possible you wouldn't get all your wattage @ 4ohm but 4 ohms is the safest for these speakers "cant" take constant beating

No problem. If memory serves, these speakers will handle that power easily. I am running a Crown 1500 watt amp into them and daisy chaining them so effectively 4 ohms. These are great speakers, light weight and good sound.

As long as you can run 8 ohm speakers off your mixers internal amp, then their is no reason why it wouldn't work. Also, at $76 right now, they are an awesome deal.

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.

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.
