Wire 2 4ohm speakers in series....thats how. I just ran into this hooking up bass resonators in my chairs for HT, I needed to lower the amp I was useings output so I wired 4 4ohm units in series and at 16ohms I am right where I need to be.
8 ohm Dual woofer speakers... How?
So tell me, How are the Dual Driver Speaker models actually 8 ohm impedance? Models I have owned are actually Dual woofers and are wired in Parallel so they get to a 4 ohm resistance.
However most specs say on all these models 8 ohm nominal impedance, and the newer versions I noted actually state " 8 ohm compatible" meaning what? They realize they are not really 8 ohm measured? I have actually taken an ohm meter to these speakers personally and come up with below 4 ohm somewhere around 3.8 ohm and lower on average throughout virtually all dual driver designs, I know this is not the most accurate way to get a impedance curve, but you would have to figure it needs to be at the least a 7 ohm reading to say its an 8 ohm speaker or am I missing something here?
Seems somebody needs to reveal Oz behind the curtain here.
Thanks
