can you tell me would a dual 4ohm subwoofer be suitable for a 8ohm home amp and if yes would I be able to wire

Question

please reply

Answer 1

Well, without some additional details:

USUALLY.... you can get away with wiring up a 4ohm speakerbox to an 8ohm amp. But I'm not promising you anything. It depends on the output circuit of the amp, basically. Wiring should be a piece of cake, normally. But when you say "dual 4-ohm" you need to be careful. You could end up wiring them in parallel, which would give you an impedance of 2ohms on the output of your amp. You could blow your amp up if it's not current-protected.
Basically, if you're willing to experiment, and don't care too much about blowing the amp, go for it. If not, get someone who knows what they're doing to take a look at it for you.

Answer 2

If you have a dual voice coil subwoofer with 4-ohm voice coils, you can wire the voice coils in series for an 8-ohm load. If you do, then it will work perfectly well with the home amplifier. There's no difference between a home amp and a car amp when it comes to the speaker output, but most car amps are stable for lower impedances and include a built-in crossover. You'll need to make sure you have a crossover of some type in the system so that the subwoofer just gets the bass signal.

Answer 3

yes but the speaker needs to be dual 4 ohm wire them in series to get 8-ohm make a jumper wire from the posittive coil on one side to the negative coil of the other side
now you only have 2 free connections that is 8 ohms

Answer 4

never use home audio equipment with car audio equipment. you end up running the risk of ruining one or the other. the electricity in a car is volts i believe and ac/dc for the house or the opposite i just know they arent the same. you will end up spending more money in the long run if you combine the two
