Ohms are one of the specs that both speaker and receiver manufacturers use to give you an idea about their performance. Speakers and amplifiers alike are usually rated around 8 ohms, but that's not ...

You’ve seen references to “impedance” and “ohms” in various loudspeaker specifications or in your owner’s manual for an AV receiver. But what is it? Do you have to “match” speaker impedance to your AV ...

Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has also worked as a high-end audio salesman, and as a record producer. Steve reviewed audio products for CNET and worked as a freelance writer for ...

Impedance is complicated and frequently misunderstood. A speaker designer doesn't "choose" speaker impedance. The overall impedance is dictated by the number of drivers and crossovers. It is an ...

So let me preface this by saying I fully understand and agree that the easiest course of action is to buy a different set of speakers. I'm only pursuing this because 1) I want to learn, and 2) the ...

I understand that connecting multiple speakers to the same ouput on your amp will eventually lead to either a blown speaker or a blown amp. What I don't quite understand is why.<BR><BR>If you look at ...

Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. The methods used to analyze series and parallel circuits can be combined to analyze these ...

Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...
