    My friend the difference is if you take 2 and 8 ohm speakers are that you can bridge them together that will make 4 ohms impedance so if you have a 4-ohm amp you can hook two speakers to one channel and stay at 4 ohms, or if the amplifier is a 2 ohm amplifier you can hook 4 speakers on each channel.

    The one on your right (my left looking at the video) seems more clearer but I can't say either one is more louder than the other. 🤜🏾🤛🏾 Great video I'm impressed.
    Now... The reason why the ohm load is different is (depending on the application) to help pull the maximum amperage out of the amp and also allows the ability to have more than one speaker on an amplifier.
    And don't necessarily help them be louder but more powerful yes somewhat in a way louder but it is more about power handling capability and SPL and Xmas and a few other factors that is the reason why there is a 2 ohm and 4 ohm and also an 8-ohm version of speaker or driver or subwoofer etc.

    • @haemphyst2090
      @haemphyst2090 6 місяців тому

      Ummm... WHAT?
      Impedance has ZERO affect on XMax, certainly (that's a mechanical design limitation). "To pull the maximum amperage?" You don't "pull" amperage. Period. The amplifier "makes" amperage (but some people correctly refer to it as "current"). When a lower impedance or larger load (not ohm load) is presented to the amplifier, it's going to make more current. A power amplifier is a voltage device, and their tendency is to keep the output voltage as close to its design specification as it can, by producing more current in the situation. Halve the impedance, double the current. Double the current, while maintaining the same voltage equals a doubling of power. Into an otherwise IDENTICAL driver (where absolutely nothing but the impedance changes, which requires and rewinding and rewiring of the voice coil, to keep the same inductance, mass, and XMax, this doubling of power will net a theoretical 3dB of output increase.
      I don't even know how to respond to the last line of your comment. There are oftentimes multiple impedance versions of a given driver to facilitate multiple wiring configurations in different situations. Wiring schemes include series, parallel, and series-parallel, where multiple drivers of different impedances are necessary to arrive at a given, desired, impedance. Impedance also has zero to do with the power handling of a device, nor does it really affect the SPL potential of the device.

    @jadm4850 3 роки тому +12

    Thanks for the great videos. I look forward to the competitions. The difference in 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers is the ohm load they put on the amplifier. The 4 ohm speaker will make the amplifier run in 4 ohm mode which is usually twice the power as it puts out in 8 ohm. So if you have two speakers a (4 ohm and 8 ohm)on the same amp but different channels, the 4 ohm channel is putting out double the watts as the 8 ohm channel. That means the 4 ohm speaker will be louder than the 8 ohm speaker but only by a few decibels. Also, when the amplifiers ohms are dropped from 8 to 4 to 2 or even 1 ohm the distortion levels usually increase in output. So using a 4 ohm speaker would double the power and increase distortion when comparing it to the 8 ohm. When comparing speakers the ohms need to be the same. Thanks again you've helped me choose which mids I'm going to purchase!

    4 vs 8 Ohm isnt really a power thing. if you close your eyes you can hear the difference between them. its not volume, its tone and texture of the different ranges. the 8 ohm sounded "thicker" at the lower ranges, but muffled the mids and highs. where as the 4 ohm lost some of the meaty bass, but gained more crisp sound in the mids and highs. when I put together a system a couple decades ago, I used 8 ohm subs and used 4 ohm mids and tweeters, I would have taken the tweets to 2 ohm but they just werent around back then really. but I had an incredibly rich sounding stereo. heavy base that you could feel passing through you, and crystal shattering highs. now I wish I could get something other than 2 or 4 ohm speakers for my motorcycle :(

Difference in night and dat!!!! Even by not an audiophile person next to me. Otherwise wiring 4ohm speaker the bass was easier controlled right and louder, but it was only loudness and not quality itself it was not comparable, maybe some mids and highs would be better at 4ohm but not for a bass, it needs to be hell thick and dynamic which only maybe top high end 4ohm speaker give you, comparable to casual 8ohm. Peace out! And have a good 8ohm subs in ur trunk!

      being as you are using it for base, it would fall more to type of music. Rock/metal should have a decent snappiness to it. overly muted "rap" style base will likely be snappier, but thats not the general goal of rap style music where it tends to be long low notes.
      but would def suggest getting a good crossover to delete the ranges you dont want pushed through subs. even if you dont hear those notes anyways, if the signal contains those ranges it will reduce your clarity of the notes you want coming from them.
      make sure the box is properly built whether ported or un-ported. I wouldn't go with off the shelf boxes unless the box is specifically built by the maker of the speaker. the boxes off the shelf will 99.9% of the time be the wrong size and give to much air or not enough and/or have the wrong port sizes.
      you should be fine over all as long as you don't try to rush from the point you are at to a finished system.

    Cool Channel. Yes you're right in a way about them souning the same. A 4ohm and a 8ohm can sound the same in a sense, but for example. If you take the channel with the 8ohm speaker and set the amp to about 44.72V that will give you 249wrms. Take the channel with the 4ohm and do the same, you will definitely hear the difference because at 44.72V you'll be at almost 500wrms, but i would do it in short bursts. Try it and see.

    I like this vid. So many people misunderstand ohm law etc. and how a 2 omh speaker is not automatically louder than a 4 ohm or even an 8ohm of the same speaker. 8 ohm is actually easier on the components and amps, etc., and 8 ohm also is easier to control the flow of power than either 4 ohm or 2 ohm. The lower the ohm rating of a speaker, etc., inherent is a reduction in clarity, etc.--quality--and the power is also harder to control and the ohm rating goes down.

      majority of car stereo amps (stock stuff) do not boost the voltage in the amp section (good amps do), so they only have 12V, 4Ω easily wins to drive more power in this situation. This is why there is 4Ω speakers. And as Resonant Engineering said, lower ohms can be higher power rating, its not just ohms law, its also the power law.

And that's fine. they can disagree all they want until they hear a sub running off a/b and same for door speakers.

    I always enjoy watching your videos. In the beginning of the video you said that one is 4 ohms and the other is 8 ohms. You also stated that they are on the same channel and if that's the case you will have a 12 ohms load on that Channel. If you have a 4 channel amplifier connect each speaker to a separate channel like 1,2 channel or 3,4 channel because those channels will have the same tuning. The amplifier will put out it separate power due to the load impedance of each speaker. Thar way the test will be more fair. I am not expecting double the power, double loudness from the 4 ohms speaker at all. And for the people who are commenting about 8 ohms lasting longer than 4 ohms. The truth is it really doesn't matter. If you match your amplifier properly with your speaker's impedance and rms wattage output then you shouldn't have any problems of amplifier overheating or speakers burning.

    The only difference i hear is frequency response is way better on the 8ohm…the 4 ohm is kind of beaming at certain frequencies. As an audiophile i choose the 8ohm for clarity reasons but for power and noise value i say choose the 4ohm. Its cheaper to make given watts @ 4 ohm than @ 8ohm to make 200w rms @ 8ohm is probably 4x the price. Amp to speaker matching is very important as well.

    guys .an 8 ohm speaker is 3db more efficient than a 4 ohm..it this amp is 250w at 4 ohms it means at 8 ohms is 125 watts.even the 8 ohm driver receives half the powet it plays the same loudness with the 4 ohm.this means that with 8 ohms the amp will be much less stressed than with 4 and it will play cleaner. an additional benfir is the damping factor of the amplifier will be double at 8 iohms.of course the current demand from the cars electrical system will be half for the same loudness.if you add two 8 ohms drivers in paralel eveything will be as a 4 ohm one but it will be 6db louder which is a huge difference

  • @jasonneal3933
    @jasonneal3933 4 роки тому +18

    A couple of factors. First off, it will depend on speaker efficiency, if you have a 4ohm driver with a lower efficiency rating than a 8 ohm drive that has a higher rating, then the amount of output will be close. Also the amplifier has a part in it. Not all amps produce double the power when you cut the impedance in half. Some will, some won’t. So it depends on the amp’s out put on impedance and the efficiency of the speaker’s Thiel small parameters. That’s why some speakers sound louder than others with the same amplifier. Efficiency = power output

      "NOT ALL AMPS DOUBLE THE POWER WHEN YOU CUT IMPEDENCE IN HALF"
      i would recomend you to take a look again at ohms law, the amplifier doesn't "doubles" the power when you go from 8 ohms to 4. The power is already there and it will not be doubled, it's simple ohms law and it states that "the power decreases if the resistance increases". So if you go from 4 to 8 you are increasing IMPEDENCE hence power decreases. And every amp in the world does this and not just few amps like you mentioned. Peace.

Sound pressure level i.e. Decibels is measured on a logarithmic scale, so doubling the power will not double the sound pressure level. That's why the volume control on a receiver or amp is an audio tapper (Logarithmic) and not a linear tapper, Potentiometer or rheostat. The speaker's voice coil sensitivity rating also affects the sound pressure level output. The higher the sensitivity rating, the louder your speaker is. An average speaker comes with a sensitivity of around 87 dB to 88 dB. A speaker with a sensitivity rating over 90 dB is considered excellent.

    The less ohms the more power it draws from the amp mike it might not be noticeable at low volume but crnk that volume up and youll smell some smoke from the 4ohm speaker first.if you have really good amp and you want more speakers you can have 4 8ohm speakers per channel to a final load of 2 ohm per channel vs only 2 4ohms tht make the same 2ohms final load per chanel so you tell me if 8 speakers vs 4 speakers makes diference with 8 speakers if you have the room you.can have way more punchy middbass or nice and clear vocals

      well said. running higher impedance speakers also allows amp relax and be more efficient less current draw and cleaner sound 2 ohm vs 4, 4 sounds cleaner amp runs cooler and efficiency goes up less taxing on the poor at best electrical system most have. once you go full retttard and spend thousands you care much less about this and just want the sound you like no concern given to the price or efficiency. small sacrifice of db allows for cheaper build too for beginners who cant afford big 4 and 4/0 and mechman alts and... it never ends but a budget multi amp system can be built on stock electrical if done right and using these options to your advantage. at the sacrifice of a little spl but you can always buy more later. car audio does not have to be for the wealthy alone just read more books and stop believing everything you read in forums 90% is hogwash you dont need 155db @ 30hz to have fun with this hobby but it does help ;P

      @@michaelsegarra2709 thanks for the reply, the way my mind is thinking after watching lots of UA-cam video on impedance is as following,the amp is a 2 channel stereo with 8ohm impedance,so I will a 8ohm speaker for the left channel,and now I will add my 4ohm woofer and a 4ohm speaker to right channel in series, thereby giving a total impedance of 8ohm on right channel (4+4 =8),thus meeting the requirements of the stereo amp at 8ohms..

    Ok all amps are rated to do power at certain ohm loads eg the amp will says 500 at 4 ohm and 1000 at 1 ohm the speakers will tell the amp what power to put out so yes the 4 ohm will play louder than the 8 ohm on the same amp anyway great video watching from trinidad and just a little advice doubling the power on a speaker doesnt mean it will play twice as loud it doesn't work that way

    Maybe you could do 2 x 8 ohms wired to 4 ohms on one channel VS 1 x 4 ohm speaker. Or 2 x 4 ohm speakers wired to 8 ohms VS 1 x 8 ohm speaker.
    Can I assume on a 5 channel cerwin Vega amp that I can run 2 x 10 inch subs at 2 ohms and mids at 4 ohms on the stereo channels? Or should I keep the sub channel at 4 ohms also?

    One subwoofer is difference one frequency but midbase one 4 ohms is offer that resonance at 8 ohms is less .
    16 ,8 ohms protect your amplifier but 4 ohms and under is more heat rapport with the power .
    Home speakers are 6,8,16 ohms , cars and other place 4 ohms and under depend on environment

    Double sound energy is 3db, the difference between some 4 and 8ohm speaker drivers. You starts hearing double the loudness at 9db. So yes, you are correct it is difficult to hear 3db difference in volume. When you played both drivers at the same time we could hardly hear the change in volume because double the energy is 3db. However it is measurable and 3db difference is significant.

    @trollslayer8260 4 роки тому

    Heres the thing , your impedance changes with music so its almost never anywhere near 4 or 8 ohms , especially with midrange and higher frequency. If you notice they test alot of amps at 100hz and below to get the minimum ohm load and make better numbers for the amps power rating. If you dont understand what i mean put an ohm meter on the speakers terminals while playing a song. The ohms jump all over the place .
