The description says the impedance is 2 ohm but some comments say that these are 4 ohm speakers. Are these truly 2 ohm or 4 ohm speakers?

But if they really are 2ohm they will eventually burn up your head unit right? Most are only 4 ohm stable

Yes these are 2 ohm, and awesome speakers. I have friends with different name brands in their cars and tell me they want to buy some jbl's now that they've heard mine and I only have a stock head unit

Just dug up the box in the garage, it clearly states that these are 4 ohm speakers.

yes, just make sure they are 8 Ohm... Wattage is really the top end of how much power they can handle, the ohms is the impedance (think like resistance) if the impedance is too low, it is like shorting out an amplifier. Almost all speakers made today are 8 ohm. and 100 W of audio is way more power than is comfortable to listen to in any home setting.

The impedance depends on whether you have had 1, 2, 3 or more than 4 drinks. It is actually the same answer for what is the acceptable volume for these speakers. They sound great. You need to invest in a sub-woofer to full appreciate them however.

there are two channels. but channel A/B function. it says it can function down to 2 ohms. but i burnt it when i did that.it may work at 4 ohms. the lowest impedance it should have is 4 ohms. this means that u can use one 4 ohm speaker per channel, or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel per channel

They are low impedance 4 ohm speakers and can be driven by smaller amps. Any amp with 4,6,8 ohm impedance will drive these nicely. I use the N22 from audioengine to drive them and it works beautifully. It has 22 watts with a 40 watt peak. I use them on my computer and I also use their s8 bass unit for added oomph and it all blends together very nicely with no distortion at high levels.

Speaker impedance limits are really determined by your amplifier / receiver. The switch should not care whether your speakers are 4, 6, or 8 ohms. However, you may notice, if mixing speakers with different impedances, that when played simultaneously, one pair is louder than the other.

I would expect that if your speakers are more than 4 ohms when connected you'll be fine. It really doesn't matter what your speakers are rated only their impedance usually 4 to 8 ohms.

You might want to try Infinity Reference speakers...good quality and they are 2 ohm speakers.

The manual says the speakers should be between 8 and 6 ohms impedance. You probably would run the risk of frying the output amplifier by overloading it at 4 ohms.

It is rated to handle 4 ohm speakers. When my first unit died, however, they kept asking me if I was using 4 ohm speakers and then kept reassuring me that it was able to handle 4 ohm speakers. I don't know what that means, but it gives me pause. It does have two zones.

Yes it is 4 ohm. Just dont put 100 watts threw them. They will blow like mine did

The impedance of the speaker doesnt change in Bridged or Parallel or Series modes. The important thing is what is being presesnted to the amplifier. The speaker manufacturer here is saying that these speakers will suit amps that require any load between 4 and 8 Ohms....I've used these speakers in my car and would see no issue in a home...I don't know the distance

They are 4 ohm speakers. Your receiver should have a L/R & F/R. Their for allowing you to hook up 2 sets.

This unit is built for output impedance 4-8 Ohm. By using 2 Ohm speakers you are risking to burn unit amplifier; this is not really high end equipment.This unit has RCA output and option to attach an amplifier; that would be better way to go.

Thanks H. Choi. I notice from the manual that it says use 8 - 16 ohms below the speaker terminals, but one doesn't have to believe everything they tell you. :-)

These speakers are 4 ohms impedance. You can go to www.crutchfield.com and search SPS 610 and go to features and specs and all the info is there. I wouldn't suggest buying anything from crutchfield because they are expensive but they are great for finding out product specs
