My amp has 2,4, and 8 ohm taps and my speakers are N802's which are rated at 8 ohms but I've heard that they can dip down to around 3 ohms in the bass. The amp manufacturer, VAC, suggests trying the different taps to hear which works best. I tried all the combinations including running the bass at the lower ohm taps and the treble at 8 ohms whilst using the bi-wire configuration. I obtained the best sound from the 8 ohm tap and single wired to the speaker.
Nominal Impedence and Amp Taps
My speakers spec sheet mentions a 4ohm nominal Impedence. My amps have 2/4/8 ohm taps, does this mean the best amp tap to use is 4ohms?
Ive always wondered this.
