Home Theater Ohms question

[quote=“97FormulaWS-6,post:10,topic:32532"”]

But something doesn’t add up with your numbers in regards to the speakers and stereo. Most home stereos are rated for 8 ohm speakers min; some go down to 4. I’ve never heard of a 6 ohm rating on a stereo.

A lot of tube amps come with connections for 4, 6 and 8 ohm loads, shit my krell is rated at 4, 6 and 8 and its a solid state.

As for speakers; 6 ohm is possible, but not that common. Most home stereo equipment is 4 or 8 ohm. Most car audio is 4 ohm, with 2, and 1 ohm common in subwoofers.

6 ohm is very common in higher end speakers.

If those are the specs that your receiver is rated at and you are using 8 ohm speakers you should only be putting out 100 or so watts, you will be fine. If through a 4 ohm resister it will most likely putt out around 200 watts. Cheap receivers have a rang of out puts, usually 4-8ohm impedance.
