What is the significance of a subwoofer being 6 ohm or 8 ohm, or does it matter ? What is this woofer ? Will this connect to any 5.1 receiver ?

No the ohms won't matter. If your receiver has the subwoofer RCA port you can run that to the subwoofer. If not you can wire it through the speakers. I would try both and see if you notice any difference and choose the one that gives you the best performance. I've had the best luck, performance and reliability with Yamaha receivers. I have one thats 15 years old and is great. It has the digital optical port for the Dolby Digital surround sound so I haven't bothered getting a newer one. I referred my friend to the Yamaha RXV 377 and she loves it.

This is a powered subwoofer, meaning it has its own built-in amplifier, so the ohms don't matter. Your receiver should have a "subwoofer pre-out" or similar output in its rear-panel speaker terminals. Connect these terminals to the subwoofer "line in" inputs using RCA jacks. Try the speaker in several locations to see what works best. It's generally best to avoid corners, which can make the bass sound "boomy". Remember, too, that you're going to need a separate source of a/c power to plug the speaker into.

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers

That means for best sound you should use 8 ohm speakers to match the receiver. Strange things can happen to receiver if using less than or more than 8 ohm speakers. It is not worth the try.

I would guess it depends on the type of receiver. My 5.1, which I recently replaced with a Sony 7.2, has a dedicated subwoofer port.

Since these sub-woofers are dual voice coil it comes with 2 negatives and 2 positives on each subwoofer. What you do is connect the positive to the positive, then negative to negative on the sub, it brings the sub from 4 ohms to 2 ohms. Then run the speaker wire from the sub to the amp and connect it like you normally would. Do the same thing with the other subwoofer.

Hi Aubrey, this amp is rated at 68 watts at 4ohms. That is peak output. If you use an 8ohm speaker, you will cut the power in half= 34 watts. To get the full advantage of the subwoofer capability, you should use a speaker rated at 4ohms. If you have a speaker that is not marked, you can easily measure it using any mulitimeter that has an ohm setting. I hope this helps you.

Hi Dork! You can set the receiver to 6-ohm in the Advanced Setup menu. The procedure is described on page 116 of the owner's manual.

Difficult to say for sure, but your instruction manual should explain the wiring connections. Check the manual for the new name, "LFE", sub woofer is the old term...good luck.

This Subwoofer is a dual voice coil unit [4 ohms total] I think. I bought one to replace a 40 year old Radio Shack OPTIMUS 12" passive subwoofer which had a dry-rotted paper cone & surround; it was rated @ 8 ohms. I kept the cabinet because I liked the simplistic style and the Pyle dropped right in there. I was concerned about the 4 ohm rating myself because Pyle is primarily car audio (check out the 1200 Watt DVC tag) and I'm using this in my home theater/audio system which is 8 ohms rated. My music genre of choice is R&B/Disco and my movies have lots of bomb blasts and car crashes. I play my music and movies at near live levels (scaled back because I'm in a room, not outdoors) and never fear, this baby rocks! I have not heard the slightest sound of strain or discomfort from either the Pyle or my amplifier, and it's nowhere near 1200 watts. Sorry to go on so long with such an easy question but I just can't help but be hyped-up about this Pyle Subwoofer... I LOVE IT!

If by woofer you mean subwoofer, the answer is yes. The .1, of the 5.1, is for the subwoofer. There is no further breakout, other than the standard 5.1. If you want to break out woofer frequencies on any of the other 5 channels, you'll have to use your own crossover.

They're supposed to be 4 Ohms even though the back says "4/8 Ohms" but in reality they're less than 4 Ohms - a tad under 3.5 Ohms. unless your amp/reciver can tolerate resistance of 2 Ohms which very few can, don't wire them in parallel with an 8 Ohm speaker. I did and it almost fried my receiver.

What matters is the impedance. Most Amps are 8 ohm as are speakers. When you hook multiple speakers in parallel the impedance goes down. The selector ensures that the impedance is at least 4 ohms even when as many as eight speakers are hooked in parallel (and would otherwise present 1 ohm of impedance). On my Yamaha receiver there is a switch that allows for a 4 ohm load and that is the key. You can probably run a 4 ohm load from an 8 ohm driver, it just means that more energy is dissipated in the amp than in the speakers but hopefully not so much as to do damage

Per manual, page 14, "Setting the speaker impedance" (USA & Canada models only): "under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the speaker impedance to " 6 Ohm MIN." In this case, you can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers". Hope this helps.

Should be 8 ohms...not going to see lower then that unless you get the really high end audio stuff. Typically...even still 8 ohms is about the standard.

It is not a one ohm stable. It is a 4 ohm amplifier. You can play with the ohms to hook up 2 subwoofers. I have 2 10 Inch dual 4 subs, to get 4ohms.

You should have no issues with hooking up your 6 ohm speakers. We have multiple speakers set up in ourhouse and in my shop. I have two of these units and they work great.

Answer--The 6.0 has a 6" woofer and less power, The 8.0 has a 8" woofer and has 2 more power drivers on the bar and around 400 Watts including the sub woofer total power the 8.0 is by far the premium choice.....Happy Shopping...

Yes, your subwoofer has a single 4-ohm voice coil. At a 4-ohm load this amp will put out 150 watts RMS--which would be perfect for your woofer which is rated at 150 watts RMS as well.
