Can I put 2 8 ohm speakers into one of the channels (3 total) As long as I switch it to 4 ohms?

Not sure what you're asking, but the Onkyo M-5010 is a 2-Channel Power Amplifier. The Instruction Manual states on page 9 (English version): "Setting the speaker Impedance: 1) Switch the Speaker Impedance selector on the unit's rear panel. &gt; [4 ohm or more and less than 8 ohms] Sets the impedance to 4 ohms. &gt; [8 ohms or more and 16 ohms or less] Sets the impedance to 8 ohms. (default) Caution: Settings will not be enabled even when the selector is changed in the Standby mode. To change a setting, be sure to turn on the unit prior to making any changes. P.S. Don't connect more than one speaker wire to a single speaker terminal. Doing so could damage the power amplifier or cause it to malfunction. (I don't know it that's what your asking but I hope this helps.)

I wouldn't, it sounds like it should work but speaker switches are inexpensive and they have resisters in them. I read a old article on having 2 sets of speakers on 1 amp and I think they said you fed one threw the other. I don't remember how they said to do it I think they said you go from positive of the amp to positive of the 1st speaker form the neg. of the no.1 to pos. of 2 and from neg of No 2 speaker to neg of the amp. Bottom line is get a speaker switch better safe then sorry.

Its possible that whatever you have them wired to cannot output to 4 Ohms. If you wired them to factory radio, it may only be capable to handle an 8 ohm load. That or if you have them wired to an amp, you may have the gain turned up too much, or if you have more than one speaker wired to each channel on the amp, you might be overloading the amp. Regardless, I wouldnt say it is the speakers, it is the device powering the speakers.

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

Yes, you should be able to power your 8 ohms speakers. Just don't daisy-chain another set of speakers.

Glad to help, but you should first check your manual. I found the manual online for you and on page 105 and it tells you that you can change receiver from 6 ohms and 8 ohms. So the answer to your question is yes.

The speakers come with a book that shows you how to wire them for different ohm loads and I'm sure there are several diagrams avaible online as well but you shouldn't be hooking up subs to a four Chanel amp and not separate the voice coils out like that. I have 4ohm voice could and I believe there are more wireing options with the 4 ohm. I have 4 p2 connected to a one channel amp running at 2 ohms

Well ' yes I assume you can -Because I actually have a Pair of rather expensive 4-ohms I'm running for front left and right mains.. I have had receivers in the past that will give you the option of switching the ohm requirements in the main menu-- The 515 does not have this.. I'm thinking that in this day and age all of these receivers should be what we call 4-ohm compatable.. So in other words years and years ago if you had a set of speakers that would ever drop below a 4 ohm load-- You could actually damage the receiver.. I just don't see that as a problem any more.. So I havn't had any problems yet..- Thanks-- Frank Well ' yes I assume you can -Because I actually have a Pair of rather expensive 4-ohms I'm running for front left and right mains..

All speakers can be connected in series but you will have to add the impedance of the speakers that are in series. In this case, 4 ohms + 4 ohms = 12 ohms. The new impedance load for the amplifier would now be 8 ohms. You can easily check this stuff on google.

Not a good idea you should aim for a two channel amp our two one channel amps and try to match the ohms of the speakers with the amp to get the best out of them

yes they can, but you need to be aware of the Impedance. if you daisy chain 2) 8 ohm speakers you get 16 ohms if you parallel them you get 4 ohms

Shouldn't matter as long as your stereo system is pushing 8 ohms output. The only thing you might notice is different sets of speakers might have different volume levels when playing them together.

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.

depends on how wire up your speakers. you can wire them in series or parallel. depending on the speakers resistance specs you can wire them a multitude of ways, especially if they are dual ohm voice coils. 2 single 4ohm speakers can be wired together as 8 ohm or 2 ohm setup. dual voice coil speakers with extend your options. do a little research on wiring subwoofers in series or paralell. you can definately make it work, but it may not have that punch and volume your looking for.

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.

you can only run either your 2 15 speakers alone, or your 2 12 inch, but not all 4 speakers, you would be driving 2 ohms draw on all 4 speakers at once and it would blow the amp, this amp is rated for 2 8 ohm draw max, you need an amp that can handle 2 ohm draw in order to run all 4 speakers, or a second amp for your monitors or subs,

This amp has four channels if you are only using two channels it will be 4 ohms per channel.If you are using all four channels it will be 8 ohms per channel.Ensure that the speakers are wired accordingly(most likely series parallel as you have 8 speakers most likely of 8 ohms).The ohms at the amplifier terminals can be higher than 4 ohms per channel but never lower (in 2 channel mode).

The receiver can easily drive 4 ohm speakers. The RMS power rating of 80W applies to 8 ohm speakers, so the power output for 4 ohms will be somewhat greater. You can change the speaker impedance from the default setting of 8 ohms to 4 ohms using the "Advanced Setup" menu as described on page 37 of the owner's manual.
