    16 Ohm speakers

    I found a couple of nice looking 16 ohm speakers at the local Goodwill. Cause I'm cheap and experimental I thought I'd stick them in a box and see what happens. They are 8 inch speakers (I think). Anyway, How much power do I need to run these???

    I have a Power Acoustik LT980-2 amplifier.

    ok your amp is 220watt x 2 channel RMS @ 4ohm

    hook up a pair of 16 ohm speakers and you go to 50 watts x 2 channel

    it would work and could sound good if the amp will run with that impedance
    Officially "hilarious mad sarcastic"! Thanks CB74christ for the recognition of my work.

            wire them in parallel atleast, that way you'll get an 8ohm load, not as bad as 16. 16ohm is a hell of a lot of resistance

              there load is design in mind with certain boxs (cabinets) not to mention most audio systems in cars run power that of a theatre u would sit in for movies lol. just curious though what kinda cone do these speakers have? is it a treated paper or just paper?

                If you are trying to use them for lows , you can bridge you amp and then parallel the 2 speakers . Bridged onto an 8 ohm load won't hurt your amp , but without knowing more about the speakers I can't say how they will do .

                  I don't know what brand they are. It doesn't say on the back.

                    I'll try to get around to sending you some pics of them. Bug me if you don't have them in a week. I forget things all the time.
