What is the impedance rating for these speakers?

The impedance depends on whether you have had 1, 2, 3 or more than 4 drinks. It is actually the same answer for what is the acceptable volume for these speakers. They sound great. You need to invest in a sub-woofer to full appreciate them however.

The impedance with the high and low range terminals connected in parallel with supplied connectors (recommended default setting) is 8 ohms. The speakers can be driven with an 8 or 4 ohm amplifier. Most receivers are 8 ohms. I am driving them with an amplifier designed for 8 ohm speakers and they sound great. There should sound just as good connected to a 4 ohm amplifier. Basically the impedance of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the minimum rated impedance of the amplifier.

I couldn't tell you but they don't need a lot of power for them to sound good. I have them running off a Samsung 7.1 1000 watt receiver. You have to bury the base of the speakers under ground for the bass to sound good. I hope this helps!

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

Hi, I apologize for my ambiguous answer: but it all depends on the spec of the speakers. i.e. Impedance and power rating. I would say that if the speakers impedance and power rate are in the 4 ohms and 60watts. Then it is ok

They worked and sound really good at first and after about 10 hours of use they sound even better. Noticeably better, not sure why or what parts of A speaker need to be broken in but it is definitely noticeable and my son also said the same thing. About the impedance, I installed them in place of the stock infinity speakers that came from factory in my Dodge Durango R/T which are 2ohms. Hope this helps.

not sure ..mine are hooked up thru a fuse and havnt had any problems .. sound pretty good

The Pyle Amps are way over rated and not powerful enough to push these great speakers,I'm using a parasound 2205A.

I believe you mean would the impedance (resistance) would be too low. The lower the impedance, the higher the current flow. These are 2 ohm rated speakers which means you need a 4 ohm amp/head. I have no problem running these from my stock Toyota JBL system. If you want deeper, stronger bass than I would recommend a subwoofer.

The impedance of the speaker doesnt change in Bridged or Parallel or Series modes.The important thing is what is being presesnted to the amplifier.The speaker manufacturer here is saying that these speakers will suit amps that require any load between 4 and 8 Ohms....I've used these speakers in my car and would see no issue in a home...I don't know the distance

As long the impedance match or at least it's in the functional range you should not have any problem, this speakers are 8 oms . If you receiver it's 8 oms or work from 2 to 8 oms you are good to go . However is not recomended connect speakers with different impedance together . With that say it if you others speakers are 8 oms too you won't have any problem at all

I have measured their impedence as around 4 1/2 ohms over much of their frequency range; this is likely to rise around the crossover point when you add a capacitor (eg 3.3 microfarad) to keep low frequencies out. Whether they sound any good will depend on whether they are similar to what you are replacing, they are very efficient and might end up sounding very bright, with unpredictable integration with whatever woofers you are using. Good luck!Richard

No I have not, but if it's a 4ohm rated amp I wonder if there will be adequate power to sufficiently power them (depending on your needs), as these are 8 ohm speakers.

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 believe these are 120 watts rms and 500 watts peak each, hope that helps. Note that even at 120 watts you will want the bass turned down a bit. These speakers ratings are not tested throughout the entire frequency range. 500 watts going through these speakers at a very low frequency would blow them apart.

Spec wise I think they rate they at 90db. It doesn't take a whole lot of amplifier to make them sound good. I'm using 110 watts max on my Sony system and 100 watts on my Okyo system. Of course I'm only using a fraction of the power settings.

Kevin, I could not give you a professional opinion on that question because I've made comparison to my Yamaha speakers using a 450 watt amp. I have a 2000 watt VocoPro amp that I may test with them this weekend to give you an ideal of how I think they sound. Is that okay?
