Re: IML: 65 Crown Speakers: 4 OHM Compatible with 8 OHM Radio???

Christian;
  If you can't find an 8 Ohm speaker, and it is found to be an issue with
the amp in the radio by using a 4 Ohm, you have two options: #1 Connect a 10
Watt 4 ohm resistor in series with the voice coil to create an eight ohms
load. #2 Take advantage of an extra speaker hole and add another 4 Ohm
speaker in series, and in phase, with the existing one in the dash.

Subject: IML: 65 Crown Speakers: 4 OHM Compatible with 8 OHM Radio???


Hello Everyone---

I'm trying to replace the front speaker on my Model
367 Mopar AM/FM radio. I can't locate an 8 OHM speaker
for the replacement as all shops in my area only carry
4 OHM in that size (It's a 7" but I'm going to use a
6.5" with an adapter plate).

I went to our Imperial website and did my research.
Unfortunately, the advice on the site ranged from "4
through 16 OHM...it doesn't matter." to "You WILL
damage your radio if you use a 4 OHM speaker with your
8 OHM radio."

Which to believe?

1) Will I fry the stock radio by installing the 4 OHM
speaker?
Or
2) Will the 4 OHM work just fine with no real impact
on my stock radio?

I greatly appreciate any advice!

Thanks...
