Ohms and WPC???


Is better to get speakers with 8 ohm normal requirements or 4 ohm requirements (I know this is not the reason for buying a speaker). I just wanted to know if I have a 250 wpc amp at 8 ohms should the speaker have 8 ohms or 4 ohms. Does it make any difference???

Thanks

Most higher powered amps will not be affected by dropping to a four ohm load. Generally amps output ratings double as the load halves but that is not always the case. A four ohm load is not usually difficult for and amp to drive. I don't think in your case it would make any difference, unless there is something about your amp that I don't know.
