Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / April 20044ohm amp into 2ohm speaker
What would be problem with running a 4ohm amp into a 2 ohm speaker. I know it will push more power. I have a similar question but a little more in depth. If a amp is only 4 ohm stable bridged but you bridge it down to 2 ohms what is the loss? I understand that the amp will run hotter due to the increase in current, but if there is no problem with the amp turning off due to overheating or there is no clipping, is there a loss in sound quality? > What would be problem with running a 4ohm amp into a 2 ohm speaker.

Well the amp might be recomended for 4 ohms so it doesnt get too hot. Using the 4 ohm amp with a 2 ohm speaker will use more current and also more heat on the amp... Could be a bad thing.... > I > understand that the amp will run hotter due to the increase in current, but > if there is no problem with the amp turning off due to overheating or there > is no clipping, is there a loss in sound quality? If the amp runs OK then it should be fine.... Eddie > What would be problem with running a 4ohm amp into a 2 ohm speaker. I know > it will push more power. and because the amp sends more power to the speaker (more current) The amp will run hotter, maybe too hot. They recomend 4 ohms because there is less current and less heat.... Eddie Runner |
