Are these 8 ohm rated?

I have been using these in my home theatre system for about two years and they are 8 ohm. I really like these....they open up after you use them for awhile...awesome speakers for rear surround channels...

I don't know but if you go to there web site you can chat live with them or send them any questions and they will give you the answers as I did.

I have them set up with 4 ohm. That's all dependent on What gauge wire you go with but the set up i have hits very good and clear

I would expect that if your speakers are more than 4 ohms when connected you'll be fine. It really doesn't matter what your speakers are rated only their impedance usually 4 to 8 ohms.

depends on what the amp is rated. I run the new Infinity primus 3 ohm in the front and 4ohm infinity in the rear with a 8 to 2 ohm amp and they sound fine. usually the lower ohm (i think) speakers would heat up. but mine seem fine.

As long as they are 8 ohms and 90db efficiency or better. Don't expect ear-splitting volume, but should sound very lush!

I measured them when I got them and they were something like 2.6. These are designed that way to accommodate OEM wiring, which I smaller gauge than aftermarket, and low powered radios. Installed the resistance is over 3, but that is less than using 4 ohm speakers. Actually, amps get more control, but require more power with higher resistance. That is way home stuff is 8 ohm. In a car power is limited by the alternator output. For matching, look at the RMS Watt rating of the amps and speakers and try to match 75% to 150% of the amp rating. Speaker sensitivity will also be a clue. A 3 dB difference means twice or half as loud. So a proper Watt RMS and as high a sensitivity possible is a good general rule. These are rated at 93 dB so they are better than most. Sensitivity is the measure of sound at 1 Watt power from 1 meter away.

Yeah they are I'm still amazed. I'm still wondering why they're only $35. I have them running at 1 ohm 1900 watt hifonics amp. They handle it no problem. I thought they were going to be crap but they're quality subs.

Im not sure about if they are better than the speakers you asked about. I dont have any experience with them. As far as a specific reciever again I wouldnt know. I originally had them hooked up to a reciever rated at 125 watts per channel. It was only for 8ohm speakers and I was a little disappointed. I bought a reciever rated at 145 watts at 6 ohms and they really came alive. I do recommend a subwoofer.

I do not know... I bought two pairs and they both lost volume on side in just a few months. So forget about what the ohms are ... Save your money ..

from my understanding your speakers ohms should not be lower than your receiver/amp. This will have your receiver working overtime to power those speakers which may casue overheating. For a 8 ohm receiver the lowest I would go would be 6 ohms; I think 4 ohms is pushing it.

Shouldn't be an issue. Drove a pair of speakers rated at 8ohms, 420W with no issues. Only reason I replaced mine was the lack of a sub-out port.

Hi, you should have no issues at 8 ohms. Used a dozen of these for an install last year and they sound great, and the moveable tweeter makes a difference

I have 8 ohm B&W; cs1 speakers and use 6ohm without an issue. I'm not sure why they didn't design it for 8ohm

No I have not, but if it's a 4ohm rated amp I wonder if there will be adequate power to sufficiently power them (depending on your needs), as these are 8 ohm speakers.

Yes, you should be able to power your 8 ohms speakers. Just don't daisy-chain another set of speakers.

Either 6 or 8 ohms should not make a difference. Any home receiver will be compatible. These speakers are used as satellite speakers in my application since they do not produce a lot of bass.

Got these hooked to a 8 ohm receiver and it performs great. The box said 8 ohm. Believe what you want. I have these mounted on my front deck.
