Is it OK to hook up 8 ohms speakers to….

You ONLY have the speakers? If you don’t have a home stereo with “audio in” jacks, then I don’t know how you can hook up your home speakers to your computer. ANY home stereo will do, as long as it has “aux in” jacks. First off I would suggest scraping your laptop’s built-in audio right from the get-go. Though this Extigy I can’t see if it has line-out.

If you plan on using an amp you definitely want to have line level outputs for the cleanest signal.

Hook up the amp and subwoofers. Power up your system and you should be good to go. Now that you know how to hook up an amplifier and subwoofers, you can start charging you friends to do it for them. show comments amplifier, amplifier and subwoofers, car stereo, hook up amplifier, hook up subwoofer, install amplifier, install car stereo.

LOADS Amplifiers are designed to power a specific “load”, meaning a speaker or set of speakers having a specific “AC impedance” measured in ohms. Impedance resists the flow of electric current so the higher the speaker impedance the less current the amplifier has to supply. Conversely, the lower the impedance the more current must be supplied. In other words, a low impedance speaker is a big workload for your amp and a high impedance speaker is a small load.

To push more air, several speakers always of equal impedance can be wired together in a cabinet. The cabinet impedance depends on how the speakers are wired and may differ from the impedance of the speakers. Wiring diagrams and their effect on cabinet impedance are displayed below. An amp works best when driving a load with the same impedance as the amplifier’s “output impedance”. If they don’t match, there could be consequences: If the speaker impedance is higher than the amp’s, the amp might sound weak or dull.

If the speaker impedance is lower than the amp’s, the amp might sound fantastic but eventually burn out. Speakers and cabinets should also be marked with an ohms value. If not, you can easily measure the value with a multimeter: Multimeters measure DC resistance, not AC impedance.
