I have 6 ohms speakers as rear speaker and I connect to my Sony receiver. The result is the Recever doesn't wanna work with 6 ohms speaker. I don't know why?
Any clue everyone?

Home receivers are not made to handle automotive subwoofers don't use it if you don't wan't your sony to burn up. Home stereo systems are rated for 8 ohm's of impedance and above and the apmlifier fets will overheat if you put a speaker with a 6 ohm impoedance in the circuit. This same problem can happen when hooking up speakers in series instead of parrellel.

I doubt the receiver actually does an impedance check and refuses to work with 6 ohm. It should work with 4 or 8 ohm and if you go in between, I don't see any problem with that. Are you sure the speakers are actually 6 ohms (measure with an ohmmeter?). Try different speaker wire or try a different speaker to rule out the wiring or a problem with the receiver...

Sony!? What's up with that?!
Dang, that is pretty tempermental of the Sony, you'd think it could hang with a 2-ohm load change. Sheesh.
So what to do...? I guess it comes down to which do you like better, your rear speakers or your receiver.
There might be another way to deal with it, by soldering the proper resistor to one of the terminals, etc...but do you really want to go through all that, or simply replace one or the other of the incompatible items?
Last ditch: look into the back pages of the Sony manual for specifications and see if there's a switch somewhere on the chassis for impedance selection. Might be worth that effort.
Good luck. And let me know how it goes.

Ok every one here is using resistive loads and impeding loads interchangeably IT IS NOT INTERCHANGEABLE TERMINOLOGY!!!
More than likely it is a incompatible hook up., check your wiring and make sure to use only a home speaker, that is undamaged at the correct impedance.
Why don't you provide the model for each to get a more precise answer.

the ohm load is to low and the receiver cant support them. the ohm load of the speakers need to be equal or higher than the rating of the receiver
