Should these speakers be plugged into the the 4 ohm or 8 ohm output??

The impedance with the high and low range terminals connected in parallel with supplied connectors (recommended default setting) is 8 ohms. The speakers can be driven with an 8 or 4 ohm amplifier. Most receivers are 8 ohms. I am driving them with an amplifier designed for 8 ohm speakers and they sound great. There should sound just as good connected to a 4 ohm amplifier. Basically the impedance of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the minimum rated impedance of the amplifier.

These are passive speakers .All you are required to do is connect speaker wire from a receiver or amplifier. The electrical resistance of each speaker or ohms. I never really checked. HOWEVER ,due to the cheap cost of these speakers I am confidently predicting that they are 8 ohms. Only if they are connected in parallel with the receiver will the electrical resistance be change to 4 ohms.

These are big heavy 8ohm speakers suited to provide large sound to auditoriums or other big rooms .. Or in a large workshop etc.. I use them as the back spkr's in a 5way stereo system in a huge room.. where they provide voice enhancement-- since they are very bright in the voice range. & the best part-- the are affordable for those on a budget. I hope this helps.. For those on a budget these are the real ticket.. Just dont expect miracles for such a low priced unit and you will be happy.. fg

Correct, the 75W output rating applies to 4 ohm speakers. At 8 ohms it's less. Manufacturer's data provided in a tnt-audio web review indicated 50W for each of two speakers at 8 ohms:Power Rating STEREO: 50wpc @ 8ohms, 75wpc @ 4ohms, 0.01% THD, full bandwidth MONO: 150watts @ 8ohms

You need 4 Ohm Speakers that can handle 85 Watts of power. I used 4 Pyle speakers no problem.

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.

Two 8 ohms speakers in parallel make a 4 ohms load. If you have 4 speakers you'll have to wire 1 set of 2 in series wicch will give you 16 ohms and set 2 in series also. Two 16 ohms wired in parallel will make an 8 ohms load

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.

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.

depends on what the amp is rated. I run the new Infinity primus 3 ohm in the front and 4ohm infinity in the rear with a 8 to 2 ohm amp and they sound fine. usually the lower ohm (i think) speakers would heat up. but mine seem fine.

depends on what speaker you have-its a normal home system use 8ohm-if its a commercial 70v speaker-use 70v

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.

Either 6 or 8 ohms should not make a difference. Any home receiver will be compatible. These speakers are used as satellite speakers in my application since they do not produce a lot of bass.

Yes the MB42X are 4-8ohm speakers but most 8 ohm receivers can power a pair of these so you're fine

you would put the speaker in series to drop it down to 2 ohms if you parallel it it will come out to 8 ohms check with ohm meter if you don't believe

It depends on the ohms. These speakers are 8 ohms. If the amp is rated for 4 ohms, you will fry your speakers. If the amp is rated at 8 ohms, you should be fine. I have a pair of these speakers hooked up to an an amp thst puts out 125 watts @ 8 ohms per channel and they sound fantastic.

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you. I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

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

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.
