Can it drive 4 ohm speaker ?

Yes, it will drive a 4 ohm speaker, but the included power supply may not let it reach full power.

more than likely...paperwork to it lost...but i think you'll be o.k....seems solid

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!

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.

Only if your amp offers a 2 and 4 ohm settings. Otherwise if your amp is 4ohm only, you can potentially damage your amp!!

According to the manual (which you'll need to print out from a PDF) it will support 4 ohm speakers. You set the speaker impedance as part of the set-up procedures. I don't know the power level, but I imagine there would be sufficient. Hope this helps.

Yes it will work for 4 ohms speaker Less than 60 watts per channel Unit is very bad, pictures looks awsome But not real function Better to get vintage receiver for $50 It will way better than this Good luck

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening. I just pulled up your question and I am willing to guessthat this amplifier is capable of driving 2, 4, 8, 12 ohm speakers as directed by the purchaser.The reason for my positive response, and I am driving Bose 301's and rebuilt Infinity 3000's, isthat any speaker set up is not a mix and match situation. Go with the speakers you have installedbut do not cross/mismatch the ohms; a quick check of each speaker will save you trouble down theroad. I believe that I am running, 12 total, 8 ohm speakers which I play at volume 50-60. My Jazzsounds terrific! J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening.

If you have a 70w at 4 ohms minimum, this puts out 500 at 4 ohms. It will have no problem driving your current speakers.

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

I no longer have this unit. I believe so at 4 ohms but I suggest you refer to Audio Source Tech Support: 1.877.715.5439 or locally 503.914.4688

I don't own this but am considering this. The manual shows an audio out so you could go into an amp with that. The speakers are 3 ohms and have a jack on the side that would allow you to power a speaker, if you could get or make the same connector that they have. The issue will be the 3 ohm 7 watt rating. typically speakers are either 4 ohms in smaller units or 8 ohms in larger speakers. You will see less volume with speakers with a higher impedence with 8 ohm speakers being only about 1/2 as loud as the 3 ohm speakers that are supplied with the unit. There could be other problems with impedence mis-match but I haven't tried it to know.

no. this amp will only push around 250 watts at 4ohm. It is over rated substantially. go with hifonics, best output for price.

Not without running them parallel with another 4 ohms speaker or wiring them to them self in parallel. Individually these r 2 4 ohms speakers

No, you shouldn't. Ohms are a measure of impedance and shoukd be matched between the speaker and the amplifier. Will it work? Yes, but it will overdrive the amp, lead to wxcessive heat and (substantially) shorter life.

I would say yes it can! Mine is at 1 ohm on 2-15 kicker cvr amp is only about 1/4 of the way up and they are about to fly out the box!!

Yes, its amplifier is capable of providing you with a 50Wpc in a 4 Ohms impedance speaker. I installed it with Paradigm Studio 40 v2, 8 Ohms speakers, though.

I am not sure, however I do have a problem. It is advertised as an 8 ohm amp but it is only a 4 ohm. I have been warned that it would damage my 8 ohm speaker. Is that true. I hope that, for both our sakes, we can hook up a reverb to the amp because the effects are not good. Haddon Salt

I don't know how much performance you are looking for but mine is used to run a six speaker set with two 200w 12 in woofers - all are 8 ohm. It gives me far more volume than I could want. However the remote must have line of sight exposure to work.
