Speaker ohms question

Dave Meis · From: Olympic Peninsula, Washington, USA

Would running a 4 ohm and an 8 ohm in parallel show the transformer +\- 6 ohms?

2.67 ohms

1 / (1/4 + 1/8)

Dave, here's a little tip:

Whenever two resistances are connected in parallel, the resulting resistance will always be lower than the lower of those two resistances. Winking

Thanks ... I had that wrong. I was thinking it was the sum divided by the number of speakers..

Or...Ohms X Ohms Ã· Ohms + Ohms

= 4 X 8 Ã· 4 + 8

= 32 Ã· 12

= 2.67

It may not matter to you, but the power will be unevenly distributed between the two units.
