What is the Ohm rating of the amp? I am looking at installing 4 rear speakers and need to know what Ohm level the amp likes so I wire speakers correc

The full audio output power spec is on page 201 of the operating manual, which you can download from Pioneer. Max power output is 50W x4 Continuous power output 22Wx4 Load impedance: 4 Ohm (4 to 8 Ohm allowable)

They're 8 ohm impedance speakers. Will work with any receiver or amplifier expecting to see an 8 ohm load.Many 12v amps are looking for a 4 ohm load, which I think is what you're referring to. Some are switchable. You can wire these in parallel to get 4 ohms, but I doubt that would be practical for you, since you'd need to install two pair in order to do it properly. If your amp/receiver is expecting a 4 ohm load don't get these.

The ohmage output of your amp has to match the ohmage of your speakers or you will not get the best sound and will more than likely burn out your amp. Ohms are the impedance levels. In the case of speakers, the lower the impedance the more wattage they will handle. I'm no elec. engineer so that's a laymans summary for you. For bass, I have always preferred 4 ohms which is what most all ampeg bass amps have been since the 70's.

I consider 75 RMS 2 ohms is fine. I think this speakers are overrated. I use them long time ago with my alpine V-POWER series amp, calculating 100 RMS 2 ohms per channel and soon burned the tweeters.Before that, I used 60-70 RMS per channel and everything was perfect.sorry for my bad english LOL

Depends on what the ohm rating is for speakers you are driving. You'll realize more power to the speakers with 6 Ohm than with 8 ohm (140 per channel vs 100 per channel). The amp is rated at 100W per channel x seven channels @ 8ohm.

I tried an old set of (I believe) 8 ohm speakers on the front right, left, and center channels and notice a marked improvement in sound quality. Do you have more information on this? Will the amp be damaged? Any idea where I can get better quality 3 ohm speakers?

I doubt that any speakers of 4 ohms or more will damage the amp. If you can find out, I would recommend speakers of 90db or more efficiency. This is a very low power amp. Try it on your Pyle speakers and see if you are satisfied.

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

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.

you can use 8 ohm speakers,however if you use main and remote speakers they must both be 8 ohms or higher. if u use 2 sets of 8 ohm speakers the amplifier sees it as 4 ohms {speakers are in paralel} anything under 4 ohms will shut the amp down. even playing amp loud it may go in to shutdown when it sees 4 ohms.

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

Sure, you'll want to wire them differently depending on the specs. If they're 2ohm speakers you'll want to wire them in series so they have 4 ohms of resistance. If they're 4 or 8 ohm you'll want to wire them in parallel for a 2 or 4 ohm resistance.

Do you mean use a fuse on it or repair it? I wired mine for 2 ohms. You have to make sure that your amp can carry the load, many people do not pay attention to ohms or RMS power.

Amp wants a 4 ohm load, and performs best at that resistance. How many terminals does your sub have (I presume 2) and what are the drivers' impedance? Whatever you do, you MUST attain a 4 ohm NET resistance

No problem at all. Also for future reference, say if you have an amp with four and eight ohm binding posts, just wire the 6 ohm speakers to the 8 ohm posts and rock and roll!

the amp is at 4 ohm load, 2ndly are you asking about the implications of series or parallel hookup, hook it up to stay at the 4 ohms,= series. read a bit on the net about series & parallel. try them one at a time, noting amp temp,! aka does the fan come on? mine never did, so if yours does your pulling serious juice & sensitivity how much pre-amp line voltage required. are these subs or full range & are they in stock cabinets?

It is 2 ohm. I learned the hard way by trying to pair it with another by crossing wires. One blew and over heat my amp. You cannot change the wiring.
