Can I use these speakers on 8 ohm? My front & center channel speakers are 8 ohm.

I don't see why not? I'ts only 2 ohms below 8 ohms. A little bit harder to drive those BS41's but yes, you can; particularly if you're just using these speakers for surround.

These are listed as 6 ohm. That's a compromise between 4 and 8 ohms. These should be OK with either 4 or 8 as long as you aren't pumping maximum power thru them. Keep it under 100 watts and you probably won't notice any difference.

Yes, but the speakers must be 8 ohm speakers. You can not use 4 ohm speakers. If you are only using 1 pair of speakers, then you can use 4 ohm speakers. Most speakers are 8 ohms, but check to be sure.

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.

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.

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 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.

I have been using these in my home theatre system for about two years and they are 8 ohm. I really like these....they open up after you use them for awhile...awesome speakers for rear surround channels...

Yes, just check the ohm level of your speakers and make sure they are in the range of the amp. If they are standard bookshelf speakers, shouldn't be a problem.

Yes these are 2 ohm . They require a good break in before you dump the power to them but overall. You will be happy with these speakers.

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.

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

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

Oh yes, they should give you all the volume you can take. From the start they sound great and then get even better as they break in. Just keep in mind that their impedance is 8 ohms.

Yes you can. Specs say the amp is 2,4, or 8 ohms. Just don't mix on the A channel or B one 2 ohm and one 4 ohm speaker. If your going to install say the front speakers. Make sure they are the same ohms on the left and right. Same with the back speakers.

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.

Yes however in the down load manual you can also connect it to 6 ohm speakers as I have 2 front firing speakers that require & the rest of the speakers are 8 ohms . I have 3 different types of speakers for my 7 channels - 2 front firing (6 ohms) & the mid side surround are front & rear firing (8 ohms) both are Cambridge Sound Works - Center channel (8 ohms) dual 6 " angled outward with center tweeter Cerwin Vega & Rear surround are Audio Polk 600 series - Sub wolf ( 10 inch front firing ) Just recently played Jurassic Park 3-D & you could feel the T-Rex in the room .... AWSOME to same the least .
