using an 8 ohm speaker with a car radio
I have a Radio Shack "Minimus-77" 8 ohm speaker/enclosure. I'd like to use
it with a car radio, but don't know how it will work compared to the usual 4 ohm car radio speaker. Would it have to be adapted to match the 4 ohms requirement, will it work ok but with less volume? Does it depend on the actual car radio model? Any ideas about this... |

The efficiency of that speaker will overshadow ohms effect. It just will not play loud in a car even if it's driven with a lot of watts and blow the speaker. If your car is quiet, maybe. It would work better if it had a high pass on it, with subwoofer. Greg |

Any ideas about this... if you hook it up without an amp it will not do much. How big is the speaker? what kind of car u putting this in. in a trunk? When i was growing up my cousin took some old 15" sub and put a cheap amp on it and it hit ok. With no amp nothing much will happen. |
