hi guys a noob question. ive seen on richer sounds website when i look at speaker specs it says. Resistance. A standard figure is 8 ohm. Figure halves when doubling the number of speakers.Does this mean if a speaker is 8 ohm then a pair is 4 ohm ?
tomlinscote said:Two 8 ohm speakers connected in parallel will have a combined resistance of 4 ohms if that is what you are asking but for a pair of speakers one to the left and one to the right channel they remain 8 ohms each. This is a nominal figure and will change with the sounds given out, some manufacturers quote a min figure too so you can see how low the figure goes in case your amp cannot cope with it. For example Quad quote a nominal figure of 6 ohms but say that this can drop to 3.5 ohms.............
