Question about speaker Ohms... I don't understand

Post Body
Enter your post below.
8 ohm speakers will measure about 6 ohms with an ohm meter. You need the ohm speaker that the amplifier is designed for. Read the specs. Most amps will tolerate a 2:1 or 1:2 mismatch (8 ohm amp will accomadate a 4 ohm to 16 ohm speaker). I said MOST. Two 16 ohm speakers in parallel are 8 ohm. Two 8 ohm speaker in series are 16 ohm. Hope that helps.
