Title: Need a litle help
Post by: kjarrime on January 29, 2010, 04:41:04 PM
I have got a Clone from ceriatone.

And i have a old crappy speaker who i figured i could try out. and it seem to be 6,8ohm speaker. I just used a multiM to find that out.
My amp can take 4 ohm 8 ohmm and 16 ohmm. so i need to find out what i should use?

Thanks - Kjartan Már Eyþórsson.

You say your speaker is 6,8     
Do you mean 6.8 ?
If so, that means you have a 8 ohm speaker.  You should use the 8 ohm selector for your amplifier.

The 6.8 ohms is DC resistance, not speaker impedance.  Measuring actual impedance is a lot more complicated and requires more equipment, including atone generator.

Generally on a DMM, a 4 ohm speaker will measure around 3.2, a 8 ohm speaker will measure around 6.8 and a 16 ohm speaker will measure around 12.8.
