What is the impedance of the speakers?

The speakers are not good for a main TV - they are more suited for a computer or a small bedroom

I have measured their impedence as around 4 1/2 ohms over much of their frequency range; this is likely to rise around the crossover point when you add a capacitor (eg 3.3 microfarad) to keep low frequencies out. Whether they sound any good will depend on whether they are similar to what you are replacing, they are very efficient and might end up sounding very bright, with unpredictable integration with whatever woofers you are using. Good luck! Richard

True Four Ohm Impedance technology: speaker's 2-ohm impedance combines with speaker wire impedance for a 4-ohm load.

I'm guessing around 1.5 or so. Warning: Don't put to much power into these I blew mines at 400 rms and @ 200rms imho I would look elsewhere for budget speakers but they do sound EXTREMELY NICE

Peak: 70 watts, RMS: 35 watts, Impedance: 4 ohms. These speakers are great for the money. Clean sound, decent bass. My son has run these in his truck for about a year now and they still perform like new. He pushes them with a 100 watt per channel stereo.

The speakers are 25 W RMS, 100 W Peak here is a link to the spec sheet. http://www.behringer.com/assets/1C-BK_P0196_S_EN.pdfI hope that helps.

Not sure of the exact output but I bought these for my girlfriend for Christmas and they are great. They are plenty loud to fill a room. I have a large stereo system because I am an audiohaulic and you are not going to beat these speakers for the price and size. Hope this helped.

Here is some technical data from the provided information they included: Frequency Response: 10-30,000 Hz, Sound pressure level at 1 KHz: 98db SPL (1mw), THD: less than 0.03%, Nominal impedance: 56 ohms...I have "driven" these with my iPods with tracks from 128 kbps to 320 kbps with varying results but yes they may be driven quite sufficiently.

The speakers are wired. I don't know how long the wires are, I'm not using it at the moment. As I recall, however, they're pretty standard.

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.

The nominal impedance is 8 ohms. As a note, the impedance is 4 ohm up to ~70Hz, which it climbs up to 12 ohms at 100 Hz and soon drops back down to 4 ohms at 200 Hz, then does the slow climb to ~9 ohms around 5-6kHz, and trends slowly to 4 Ohms again for the rest of the audible range. If you're just looking to see if this speaker can work for you, don't worry about the nominal impedance. If it isn't a completely off-the-wall audio setup and you're going to be listening at below 100dB levels, you won't hear any distortion (unless you're a Labrador) and you won't cause the receiver to run too hot.

I would say refer to the instruction manual as well. I found this interesting paragraph in the manual to a circa 1998 Marantz receiver that I have whose speaker outputs are labeled "8 ohms": Note on loudspeaker impedance: The power ratings specified for this Marantz receiver are obtained using fixed value test load impedances. However, the actual impedance of a loudspeaker system will vary with frequency, deviating from the nominal rating. This Marantz amplifier will drive any modern loudspeaker system with a rated impedance of 4 ohms or higher. A few newer loudspeakers feature impedances of less than 4 ohms. The high current output capability of this Marantz receiver can provide the additional power necessary to drive such low impedance speakers. However, during extended passages of high volume, the protection circuitry may temporarily interrupt operation. If this occurs, simply reduce the volume accordingly. The protection circuitry is specially designed so that it cannot affect the sound quality during normal operation.

FYI - Impedance matching is the resistive value measured in Ohms. For instance, most speakers have an impedance value of either 4 or 8 Ohms. Headphones can have an impedance value of up to 600 Ohms. Improper impedance mismatching can cause anything from poor quality sound to irreversible equipment damage/failure. Experiment at your own risk or get help from a friend that understands these electronic principles.

Impedance is the resistance or load that the speaker presents to the amp. Most amps do fine when the speaker is 4 ohms. If the speaker presents a 2 ohm resistance to the amp the output of the amp doubles because it's pushing against half the resistance. Some amps may not be stable at 2 or even 1 ohm. As the impedance goes lower output increases, but you can lose sound quality, and if it is very low you can sometimes damage equipment. You can also look up series and parallel wiring if you're going to wire more than one speaker into each input. The alpine speakers here are 4 ohm speakers. This means they are safe for most amps/ radios. Definetly all aftermarket radios.

The speakers are wired to each other, about 3 or 4 feet. The right speaker has the amp and takes the power.

Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one? What is the nominal impedance of each speaker? It is important to know all of these things to make the correct suggestion.I assume that they are probably rated at 600 Watts continuous (1200W Program/2400W Peak) because it is rare to find 1200W and 2400W (continuous) 15" drivers.Also, how loud do you plan on playing them? Do you need them running at full volume or do you just want to listen to them at "normal" levels in your home and maybe somewhat louder on occasion? Heck, just tell the name and brand of speaker; that will be the most helpful. Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one?
