what is the ohm rating of this speaker? I need a 4ohm set of 6.5 and 5.25 speakers for my Harley

That's for the 6.5 not sure on others they have details if you click on item description 4.0 impedance and I have mine hooked to a punch amp and lowered ohm out put on amp they sound good on bike

they are 4 ohms each coil. i wouldnt recommend wiring them down to 1 ohm because i had them at 2 ohms with an ssl 4000 watt amp and blew them. they say 2500 but they cant really handle as much as they say and they dont hit the lows as well as i hoped for. but anyways. the subwoofer will come with a wiring diagram on how to wire them to 2, 4, or 8 ohms. if you want a good cheap subwoofer i recommend the power acoustik mofo series. with sub woofers you get what you pay for. mofo's are definitely worth every penny. i had mine replaced with the mofo 122x. good luck and keep the bass bangin!

My Tech checked them, they are 6 ohm, however please understand that this is a complete Bose system, not intended to be used with other systems Amps, so if you were to use these speakers in any way that is not intended by Bose. And the speakers are damaged, I can not have them returned for a refund, I appreciate your interest, but must make this clear, as I said this is a complete Bose system, and not to be connected in any other way, thanks, Jack

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.

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. :-)

I no longer have this unit. I believe so at 4 ohms but I suggest you refer to Audio Source Tech Support: 1.877.715.5439 or locally 503.914.4688

February 2016 ... you have an excellent question here. The photo on the Parts Express site displaying the current B652 speaker (now made by a different manufacturer), clearly shows the speaker impedance as 6 ohms. Sales deception will not exist in a manufacturer's speaker impedance, 6 ohms should be 6 ohms. An exception would be a fortune cookie impedance. Did a previous manufacturer of Dayton B652 speakers label them as 8 ohms ? I don't think so, a youtube video shows both the old, and the new, labeled as 6 ohms.

Hi,Am in the same boat. Other differences I see are receiver is 6ohm for 6200 vs. 8ohm for 5300 with speakers being 6 ohms...somewhere read that 6 ohm driving 8ohm is not that good..(I am not a techy)Any of you decided yet?Also does anyone like the sexy Energy 5.1 speaker set (will have to buy receiver separately)...any comparisons?

Well I have it pushing four 6.5 component speakers which is four tweeters and four mid range woofers and two 6x9s and it still seems like it has power to spare. I wired the back two doors with the 6x9s making the ohm rating 2. All of my speakers have 4 ohm ratings. That's the important part. This amp can be wired down to two ohms. Basically if you put two 4 ohm speakers on one channel it becomes 2 ohms. I would say you wont have a problem with this thing. I would say wire the 3.5 and tweeters with your front 2 doors and wire the rear doors with the 6x9s.

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.

The guy below is correct. It's rated for 8 ohms. It is a damn good stereo receiver for the price though. Don't let the namebrand fool you. I did hook up 6 ohm speakers to it though and it never really got hot. I never tried 4 ohm speakers though.

Thang:Again thank you for your helpful response. I will now shop for a sub, and hopefully complete my system soon. It is a more difficult task than I first thought.I have the Bose single cube speakers that I plan to use, but I am unable to determine the ohm rating of these speakers. Can you assist me with this. I have been studying the 806 manual and the speaker ohm rating is one entry that needs to be input by me. Hopefully I will be able to get things up and running soon. Thanks.Charles

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.

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

You should be fine, but just to be on the safe side, look on the back of the amplifier or in the owner's manual to see if there is a specific warning not to drive speakers with less that an 8-ohm load. Since it's a good-quality amp, there shouldn't be a warning of that sort. As a further check, see if the manual quotes a power rating into 4 or 6 ohms. It probably will (and it will be a higher number), which means your unit has the reserve current to safely drive a lower impedance speaker. Hope this works out because -- having lived with these speakers for more than a year -- I continue to be impressed by their clarity and the width of the sonic field they are able to project.

Hello NebTheWeb, This receiver is capable of driving 6 ohms speakers. I use a set of Totem Dreamcatcher (4 ohms) and the receiver is behaving great.

What speakers would be best ? and i have a 3 ohm system on a honda goldwing 2002 year . 4 or 4 1/2 size .
