3ohm speakers and 4ohm amp

[KMS 10+ year member]

Can this cause any problems? Right now I have component set in the front stage and coaxials in the rear. I believe all 4 speakers and components are 3ohms.

I have my stock tweeters from the car spliced into the same wires that connects to the coaxial.

Anyway I'll soon be installing an amp that will be running at 4 ohms. Will the 30hm speaker cause damage to the amp or anything? Right now I have everything running off of the headunit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Um, it'd be worse to run it off of your headunit, rather than an amp

you'll be alright.my factory speakers are 2 ohm,every headunit i've had in there has worked fine.

If anything,you might get alittle more power to them with the amp.

You should be safe, it may send the amp into protection at loud volumes. But I doubt it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
