I have existing Boston Acoustic Speakers but all of them are 4 Ohms. What can I expect??

It should work fine. I use Bose speakers the only problem you might have is in doing the auto speaker setup which failed multiple times with Bose so I'd anticipate you will have the same problem

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.

The MB42X's impedance varies between 4 to 8 Ohms. Care must be taken to ensure that the amplifier being used is capable of handling a 4-Ohm load. Improper amplifier selection or setup may result in permanent damage to the amplifier or speaker. These speakers can handle amplifiers with outputs betwee 15 and 100 watts per channel as long as reasonable care is exercised. Personal Note -- These speakers are built to impress you with their sound!!!

I have 8 ohm B&W; cs1 speakers and use 6ohm without an issue. I'm not sure why they didn't design it for 8ohm

None whatsoever. I have 4 ohm speakers on mine and Emotiva certifies it at 4 ohms.

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms. To learn more about properwiring and Ibm's law you can find it at 12volt.com

Check all powers and grounds connection then double check and make sure your speakers are wired to the right resistance

Is the resistance 8 ohms total, or 8 ohms per channel? If it's 8 ohms total, you would want to hook up, for example, two 16 ohm speakers, not two 8 ohm speakers. Basically, if you have two speakers with 8 ohms of resistance each (for example), that would result in 4 ohms total. I don't know if that helps at all...

Ohms should not a problem. Make sure the protector button is on at all times so you don't harm amplifier if it is rated differently or you use assorted ohmed speakers.

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.

Sure. It's in the provided specs. My main speakers are nominal 8 ohm, but dip down to 4. No problem. I've a friend with 4 ohm speakers and we tried the wadia on those, and no problems there either.

Yes the MB42X are 4-8ohm speakers but most 8 ohm receivers can power a pair of these so you're fine

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!

and you do not want to rewire your speakers if its with the JBL amp. IF you want to replace some speakers and rewire go right ahead and not use it. but if you want plug and play for the new deck and want to save money buying speakers, and paying for the install of speakers and its new wiring as the original is not in proper setup or wattage for the most common 8 ohm speakers

These speakers are 4ohm rated. You will need an amp that can handle 4ohm speakers. I use a AudioSource Amp 100 Amplifier. It goes for about $120

I don't own this but am considering this. The manual shows an audio out so you could go into an amp with that. The speakers are 3 ohms and have a jack on the side that would allow you to power a speaker, if you could get or make the same connector that they have. The issue will be the 3 ohm 7 watt rating. typically speakers are either 4 ohms in smaller units or 8 ohms in larger speakers. You will see less volume with speakers with a higher impedence with 8 ohm speakers being only about 1/2 as loud as the 3 ohm speakers that are supplied with the unit. There could be other problems with impedence mis-match but I haven't tried it to know.

Can't find my spec sheet but I do believe it is a normal 8 ohm speaker. Works just at well as the big boys I had on the wall with the added benefit that the Queen is now much happier with less hanging on the four corners of the room!

Its possible that whatever you have them wired to cannot output to 4 Ohms. If you wired them to factory radio, it may only be capable to handle an 8 ohm load. That or if you have them wired to an amp, you may have the gain turned up too much, or if you have more than one speaker wired to each channel on the amp, you might be overloading the amp. Regardless, I wouldnt say it is the speakers, it is the device powering the speakers.
