okay, i'm pretty good with wiring, but i need to ask: i bought some polyglass 8" midbass speakers that i plan on mounting in my doors. these are 8 ohms. (and i quote) "impedance: 8 ohms * Re: 6.0 ohms "

you can check that out, but, what kind of power are these speakers going to draw from an amp?

thanks a billion.

 

I'd say somewhere between 75 & 150w each, they are 8 ohm, you're best bet will be to get 2 & wire them in parallel (brings total load to 4 ohms, thus doubling power capacity). These should work fine in the door, once they're mounted.

Good luck with 'em

Dave.

 

parallel is okay for imaging speakers? it wont make them play the same thing?

thanks for the reply

 

well if you wire these in a parrell it will be fine if there just for mid bass...if you're using them as a midrange speaker you might have tuning issues becase when you wire them in parrell you get a 4 ohm mono load you have to wire 2 more of them in a series/parrell to get a 4 ohm stereo load

 

but i can wire into it at 8 ohms, i will just require twice the power for the same result, am i right?

 

if you wire it in 8 ohm to a amp it could possibly cause problems plus it will decrease your amps out put by half (aproxx) if your hooking up to the head unit just wire them up i don't think that will be a problem

 

if you wire an 8 ohm load to an amp it will not cause any problems. the only problems (to an amp) are when the ohms are lower than it was designed for.
