What will using a 4 ohm speaker do, when my car calls for a 2 ohm speaker?

the four ohm speaker will work just fine in this application, but it will not be as loud as a two ohm speaker. the ohm in this sense is a unit of resistance, and the higher the number the more resistance you have. that being said, finding a two ohm speaker may be a bit of a chore. good luck!!

You cant wire two four ohm speakers 1 ohm. If you wire them parallel they will be 2ohms. This amp will power them nicely. To accomplish 1 ohm you would need 4, 4ohm speakers. Basic ohms law.

Are these 4 ohm speakers going to be used on the existing head unit? If so..it is not advisable to use 4 ohm speakers unless they are amplified.

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.

2 to 4 Check ohms. I haven't had any luck with pyle products. I've lost too set of speakers to this unit.

For that I'll get the 2 Ohm. But you can get the 4 Ohm and Put only 2 ohm later get a 2000 watt amp and put the 4 Ohm I'll do that maybe what you think? Thus that answer your question Alex

It is rated to handle 4 ohm speakers. When my first unit died, however, they kept asking me if I was using 4 ohm speakers and then kept reassuring me that it was able to handle 4 ohm speakers. I don't know what that means, but it gives me pause. It does have two zones.

I'm using a old four channel that can withstand the 2 ohm load so you can look for a cheap one on amazon or sonicelectronx that can hold 2ohms but remember to break them in first

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.

On a 4 OHM output amp. You use one 4 Ohm speaker or two 8 OHM speakers. Example: One 8 OHM speaker + One 8 OHM speaker = 4 OHMs.

I would get two 4 ohm subs. I have two 4 ohm single voice coils Kenwood subs running the amp in series and it sounds great. Getting two 2 ohm subs might bring the impedance too low. Hope this helps.

2 ohms is always less resistance Than 4...therefore 2 ohms sound louder and hit harder

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!

The issue here is that this speaker is designed for the environment of a car, where the lowest frequencies are boosted because of the small space (Google "cabin gain"). If you use it in a house, it may not reproduce the deepest frequencies at adequate levels. The other issue you have to deal with is the relatively low impedance of 2 ohms. You need to make sure your amp can handle a 2 ohm load or it will keep shutting off (or worse, burn out).

The 2 ohm will take more power thus being able to run a higher watt amp but you are sacrificing sound quality for volume, the 4 ohm is no slouch, it has to use a slightly lower wattage amp but has much higher sound quality, your bass will be sharper and cleaner with the 4 ohm.

Stands for the ohm impedance of each voice coil in the speaker. S4 is 4 ohms s2 is 2 ohms. What you need is usually determined by the amplifier you are using.

Wire the sub at 2 ohms if it's possible. Makes the amp put out max power and sub slap. If your sub is not a dual voice coil 4 ohm, get one.
