How many ohms are these polk audio speakers? My amp recommends 8-16 Ohms.

8 ohms. Are you buying for front or rear? Polk customer care guys are very handy and respond very quickly. Here is the number: 1-800-377-POLK (7655)

They are rated at 2.7 ohms but Polk states they are compatible with factory and aftermarket 4 ohm systems as well. Google returns a lot of information.

The amp has two outputs for speakers. 8,4, or 2 ohms. The connectors are banana type jacks.

It could mean 32 ohms to each ear speaker. I use it for my Fender guitar amplifier and have had no complaints.

I do believe these speakers are 4 ohm, it says 2ohm on the website, but the box that it come in says 4 ohms, these speakers are really nice, I still can't get over how clear they are, working on putting a small amp to these component speakers,

@ 1 ohm this amp runs 1600 watts rms. So you will be fine if you wire the speakers in 1ohm.

8 ohms single speaker. The detail says speakers. And there are two 1/4" speaker outputs on the rear. I have not tried those. Using the speakon outlet, I tried to daisy chain two 8 ohm speakers. But every few minutes the amp would go into protect. Maybe the 1/4" outputs will allow two speakers but not the speakon. I'd have returned it but this is the only mixer amp in this price range on the market. I use it for all karaoke shows. It really does crank great sound.

anything between 150 to 300 watt RMS per channel will power these speakers at 8 ohm I'm driving the Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2 300W RMS 8 ohm pre channel

Hello. At 4 ohms that amp provide 525 watts. That is plenty so I would just use both channels of your amp, on for each speaker. You would not want to bridge your amp with these speakers as you would then be providing 1550 watts at 4 ohms and would almost definitely blow the speakers. Also if you bridged your amp you would only have one channel. So either you would need two amps, or you would try to daisy chain these speakers and I don't believe that amp will work at 2 ohms.

Should be 8 ohms...not going to see lower then that unless you get the really high end audio stuff. Typically...even still 8 ohms is about the standard.

Is the resistance 8 ohms total, or 8 ohms per channel? If it's 8 ohms total, you would want to hook up, for example, two 16 ohm speakers, not two 8 ohm speakers. Basically, if you have two speakers with 8 ohms of resistance each (for example), that would result in 4 ohms total. I don't know if that helps at all...

They are 2 ohms, crutchfield has a typo on Details tab. If you download the owners manual pdf on the same page, you will see that entire line is 2 omhs. These speakers are a few years and one Gen old. The 11i tweeters sound a little better, but the 9i sound very good and just as loud. And make the most out of every watt sent from the head unit

Yes they are, but if they are wired in series you will get 8 ohms and if they are wired in parallel it would be 2 ohms. So to get the 8 ohms you need, using the 4 terminals on the speaker, connect a wire from the positive terminal on one side to the negative on the other side. Now the 2 wires for the speaker connection ( positive & negative ) would connect up the empty positive and negative terminals that are left. This connection would give you 8 ohms.

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.

Using two 16 ohm would be the same as using four 8 ohm. You would be getting about 30 watts of power to the speakers. That is not much!

It usually means 8 ohms is the recommended speaker impedance. Using lower impedance speakers like 4 ohm draws more power from the amp and can cause the amp to overheat. But generally in quality amps this will only be a real concern if u constantly blast music close to maximum levels. Some higher end brands will say they are 8 ohm but 4 ohm stable meaning they can handle the lower impedance

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.
