I was wondering if these could be used as dash replacement speakers in a truck? The description says they can be 4 or 8 ohm. Is that true?

I have measured their impedence as around 4 1/2 ohms over much of their frequency range; this is likely to rise around the crossover point when you add a capacitor (eg 3.3 microfarad) to keep low frequencies out. Whether they sound any good will depend on whether they are similar to what you are replacing, they are very efficient and might end up sounding very bright, with unpredictable integration with whatever woofers you are using. Good luck!Richard

mine are in 8 ohm infinity Kappa 7 now and I am sure they will work fine on 4 ohm.If you do go with these be sure to break them in for a little while at low volume levels

It means that you should use 8 ohm speakers for best quality. These are the usual you'll find.4 ohm speakers are available but normally used in a car.Speakers over 8 ohms are not usually available.

Using two 16 ohm would be the same as using four 8 ohm. You would be getting about 30 watts of power to the speakers. That is not much!

Shouldn't be an issue. Drove a pair of speakers rated at 8ohms, 420W with no issues. Only reason I replaced mine was the lack of a sub-out port.

They are 8 ohms not 4 car amps prefer 4 ohmsI am using them in a sub box to dj with

I belive they are a 8 ohm. But I wouldn't buy them the poorly constructed. You have an issue where the bracket and speaker are bolted by the knob. The internal nut that is glued on the in side breaks loose when you tighten the knob and the only way to fix it is to pull the screen offand reatreattached the screw with stronger glue. My buddy bought a pair also a week later and had same issue.

They are 4 ohm speakers. They need some power to drive them. They can be ran without an amp if the head unit has enough power. I would say a min of 30 watts per side but they will sound the best with 75 to 200 watts.

Check your tundras factory speaker resistance specs. These are two ohms and tour toyota may be four

They're really 6 Ohms. Kinda ambidextrous. Since it is equally in between 4 and 8, it can be used for either application.

The impedance of the speaker doesnt change in Bridged or Parallel or Series modes.The important thing is what is being presesnted to the amplifier.The speaker manufacturer here is saying that these speakers will suit amps that require any load between 4 and 8 Ohms....I've used these speakers in my car and would see no issue in a home...I don't know the distance

I'm no expert, and don't know what they mean by 4 ohm topology. Generally, the 4 ohm amp would be underpowered trying to drive 2 ohm speakers. Should be ok at low to moderate volume but high volume could overheat the amp. You should ask on a car stereo forum.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I was using them in a Mazda Miata 2 door using an aftermarket headunit that ran at 55 RMS. They sounded pretty good. Not a crazy amount of bass though. A subwoofer goes a long way. Excellent mid and high range from these speakers though, and the bass was reasonable.

You are too vague in your question. Can't help you out unless you give speaker info how do you have them wired 4 or 8 ohms/rms wattage/peak wattage. I have my amp hooked up in my house to kicker subs 500rms each at 8 ohm, they are plenty loud. just as load if not louder than my 1000watt car amp.

They are 8 ohm, check about a third of the way down the amazon page you will see product specifications where it is listed as well. They are amazing speakers for the money.

You might want to try Infinity Reference speakers...good quality and they are 2 ohm speakers.

If you look under "Car Parts" in Amazon's automotive section, under Chevy 1983 K10, it lists 4 x 10 speakers. The 4 x 10 size is usually specific to GM cars and trucks. They probably go in the dash. That's the best I can tell you.

These speakers are designed to replace a 3 1/2" in a car system. They probably will not have as much bass as a small portable system that is designed to deliver full range. I have them in my 2001 Corvette that has a bass speaker just below them in the door and this combination sounds great! As a stand alone you will only get mid range and highs.
