Do I have to worry that I 4 ohm speakers. My current elite reciever, starts making noise from speaker to speaker when it's cranked.

I have not had any problems. I don't crank it up super loud, but I do use it kind of loud for my surround sound. It works great and it replaced an old elite

According to my boyfriend who I bought this for: "The pioneer SC-67 is rated down to 4 Ohms....So, it should be okay." We have older speakers and we do listen to the music load when we have parties. He loves this receiver.

my elite has no problem check the installation or change the speakers to see if elite has problems

i own a pioneer elite sc-67 and have not had this problem, so my first question to you would be what is the quality of your speakers. if you have satellite or less quality speakers this may be the problem.

Wow that actually sounds like you have an awesome speaker setup. The only thing I could say, and this happened to me, when you turn up the volume it obviously makes your bass bigger which can make your speaker wires shake and touch each other which will throw it to protect mode....check it out and let me kno

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.

None whatsoever. I have 4 ohm speakers on mine and Emotiva certifies it at 4 ohms.

It does not matter, general rule of thumb, is the lower the OHM number on the speakers, the more efficient they will be. In other words, the lower OHM number on the speaker would require less watt output from the receiver. Your receiver can output any OHM number, and the same is true for the speakers.

Its possible that whatever you have them wired to cannot output to 4 Ohms. If you wired them to factory radio, it may only be capable to handle an 8 ohm load. That or if you have them wired to an amp, you may have the gain turned up too much, or if you have more than one speaker wired to each channel on the amp, you might be overloading the amp. Regardless, I wouldnt say it is the speakers, it is the device powering the speakers.

What is your receiver's impedance rating? If you run at least two pairs of 6 ohm speakers then you must activate the protection switch. Check the impedence of your speakers at http://www.nilesaudio.com/techsupport/calculator/index.php

If it keeps going Into protection.. there os an issue with the wiring.. make sure no positives and negatives are crossed.. and also that the speakers are wired up correctly for the ohm load to the amp...

I have a stock radio and with the 2 Ohm ( using JBL True 4 ohm technology) My system is louder and clearer. I had an amp in line next but saving my money, not needed

Great question. I have a set of small Bose bookshelf speakers that are 4 ohm. I just hooked them up a couple of days ago and they worked fine. I started with the power control turned all the way down on the Micro amp so as not to blow them and turned it up until I got the sound I wanted.

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.

You need 4 Ohm Speakers that can handle 85 Watts of power. I used 4 Pyle speakers no problem.

Speaker needs same ratings or it might damage unit or speaker . 4 ohm 8 ohm or 16 ohm and wattage ratings need to be within ratings for both , polarity also should be checked

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. :-)

How do i know what ohm this receiver is? I'm sure i read over it several times and am just missing it.Does anyone reading this have a good recomendation for a power amp for my lsi9 speakers which are the 4ohms?

These woofers have been redesigned with great improvements overall. I used the older version with a 250 watt rms Monolithic amp with no problems @ 4 Ohms. I'm sure you will be pushing the limits at 5oo W rms @2 ohms, but the speaker will be agile and fast and you will not have problems if you don't crank it to max levels. The safer route If you will be cranking hard, will be to move to the next level which is the P2D4-12 rated at 800W @ 2 or 4 ohm, I will not be as responsive, but it can handle 800W!

What matters is the impedance. Most Amps are 8 ohm as are speakers. When you hook multiple speakers in parallel the impedance goes down. The selector ensures that the impedance is at least 4 ohms even when as many as eight speakers are hooked in parallel (and would otherwise present 1 ohm of impedance). On my Yamaha receiver there is a switch that allows for a 4 ohm load and that is the key. You can probably run a 4 ohm load from an 8 ohm driver, it just means that more energy is dissipated in the amp than in the speakers but hopefully not so much as to do damage
