Hi Friends,
Could someone clarify my doubts regards to 4 Ohms and 8 Ohms speakers.I heard and read that DOUBLE the power is required to drive the 4 ohms speaker by a amplifier which produced power at 8 ohms impedance.
i.e Amp with 100W RMS at 8 ohms will deliver only 50 watts with 4 ohms
Also a 8 Ohms impedance amplifier can even burn off ,while running 4 ohms speakers
1.If this true then, does there any difference in quality of the Sound produced in 4 Ohms speakers?
2.If not then why they are manufacturing such 4 Ohms speakers,which cannot be matched with all amps easily?
3.Are there any advantage of using the 4 Ohms speakers?
4.What are the specification to be noticed while searching a Stereo amp to match with 4 ohms speakers?
Thanks for your responses
