Is it power rated to drive 4 ohm speakers?
141523
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.

This unit sounds great and will power 8, 6, or 4 ohm speakers and has a menu to set which you are running.

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.

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful

This amp push two seismic pa15 rated 8 ohms each fine not sure about 4 ohms

Hello Popi, I am not sure I understand your question, but I will give you an overall way to work out your speaker needs. An amplifier is rated by its ability to put out a maximum number of watts into an 8 ohm speaker without distortion (typically 2% at most). An amp will drive a speaker at 4 or 16 ohms as well with varying power numbers and volume. It is important that the amp sees an impedance level of 4-16 ohms or it won't operate well (meaning efficiently and possible overheating or shutting down). It is better to have the amp power rating equal to or higher than the speaker rating. An amp overdriven can clip and suffer damage. If you respond with what your amplifier is, mono or stereo, and what it's exact power output rating is I can be more accurate. Are you planning to drive 4 speakers at 8 ohms each?

I am using XPA-5 to drive my 3 Triad Silver/4 LCR's and 2 Silver/4 surrounds - all of these speakers are 4 ohm nominal - but reasonably efficient as I recall - and there are no issues with this amp driving those to reference level.

This is just an educated guess, but as long as those speakers are 8 ohm, it would drive them. I believe with room to spare!

Not at all. I am running my system also through Kenwood amps at 4ohms. The sound is clean and responsive.

I run 4 ohm speakers with a varying peak wattage between 200 and 250. As it was stated before having extra watts on tap from the amp helps the speakers to have plenty of power on hand without straining.

Yes, very much and rated by manufacturer for 4 ohms loads.mit would make 75W per channel I guess on 4 ohm load.

I believe so. The manual instructs using 8 ohm or 16 ohm speakers and the power handing spec in the manual is 4 Ohm load. I have been chaining two 8 Ohms each on L and R monitor outs and would do the same on the mains in a live setting. Clear as a bell at rehearsals and still lots of headroom available.

Speakers are 300W continuous, 750W program and the Recommended Power Amplifier: For maximum SPL: 600W to 900W @ 8 Ohms. The amp puts out 1050W Bridge-Mono at 8 Ohms. So I think 1 amp for 1 speaker works fine but you would be under powered for two speakers with this amp. However I'm not sure how the recommended wattage changes with a pair of speakers and dropping to a 4 Ohms load. If max power doubles to 1200-1800 watts while dropping to 4 Ohms this amp will be in the middle with 1550-W @ 4 Ohms.

Any of the Pyle amps should be powerful enough to to carry your speakers even at 4 ohms ( all 4 speakers hooked up). You just want to be careful about overpowering the amp. THe larger amps can result in the reverse problem; ie overpowering the speakers. It is just a matter ofr being judicious with the volume control.

I checked the specs on this amp and it is two ohm stable. No need to bridge. With just these 4 speakers and single amp, you should get 100x4 @ 2 ohm(RMS). Which is within the range of the speakers. The Peak power is 235x4 @4ohm, which may be slightly higher @ 2 ohm. This is just above the recommended power for the speakers, which should not pose a problem as long as you don't max out the gains and volume on the head unit.

No sorry I cannot answer that question, I will tell you that you will not be disappointed with there performance, I drive 2 of them with the pyle hybrid 3000 watt amp, which actually put out about 500 watts at 4 ohms, and the sound great, actually the amp fall short of being able to deliver what they can handle

That's chillin'. I'm running mine at 420watts at 2ohm. There is a general consensus that powering any speaker at 80% will ensure longevity and durability.
