What speaker ohm rating will this amp take?
458768
Amp will drive 4 ohm speaker at 300 watts. Will drive 8 ohm speaker at 150 watts.

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.

320W @ 8 Ohms and 480W @ 4 Ohms. I would suggest a 410 or 115 cabinet rated at 4 ohms from GK would be a great setup for your amp. Or you can run 2 - 8ohm cabinets (depending on there individual wattage needs) together at 4 ohms. We can help call us toll free at 1-877-671-2200

This is a rugged amp with decent signal to noise. It is rated for 215 watts into 8 ohms dual, or 700W bridged into 8 ohms, or 350W into 4 ohms dual or 1100 watts bridged into 4 ohms. You can program the limit to protect your speakers. So, yes. Connect your speakers in a parallel bridge configuration so they show a 4 ohm load to the amp and set your limits to 600 Watts to protect your speakers.

With the brx 1600 u gonna put out bout 700 watts at 2ohm. Whats ur speaker rated for Mrs and peak power

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.

As long as there's a 16 ohm speaker out, it should work great. You DON'T want to ever mismatch ohmage, I've learned the hard way; you WILL blow your amp. Maybe not the 1st time, maybe not the 2nd time, but it WILL happen. Just sayin. Congrats on your gear. Enjoy. Rock On.

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.

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms.

Well I cant say exactly.. but I can tell u I got the comp runnin 4 ohms on a 6000w lanzar 2 channel amp in my trailblazer and I had to replace my deck because the bass shook the inner workings apart lol.. a warning tho these subs are extremely touchy tune with care!!

Thank you for asking. The powered outputs on this are stable down to 4 ohms. As long as the impedance on your speakers is high enough the amp will be ok. If the speakers are rated to the right power they will be safe as well. Have a great day!

My understanding is 2 OHM is better. I would however recommend you install the amp to get the proper sound that the speakers are capable of. I have not done this but I need to.

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

No, you shouldn't. Ohms are a measure of impedance and shoukd be matched between the speaker and the amplifier. Will it work? Yes, but it will overdrive the amp, lead to wxcessive heat and (substantially) shorter life.

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

A speakers impedance is quite variable across the frequency band. So the 6 ohm speaker is just an average and there is no standard in assigning this nominal rating. I have used 8 and 4 ohm speakers on either taps and frankly can hear or detect no difference. But, to be safe you can just hook the 6 ohm speakers to the 4 ohm if you are worried. It will be fine either way.

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.

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.
