8ohm door speakers?

[JoshC 10+ year member]

So im wanting to try these out AQ-PA-6.5 (Sold As Pair) and noticed today there 8ohm, whats the deal with that?

100wrms @ 8ohms? thats alot of juice for one door speaker, this there some passive crossover you can use to make it a 4ohm load? or just run 2 together in parallel bridged on a 4chs rear channels?

The super tweeter the recommend to use with it is a 4ohm, how does that even work lol you need 4chs just to run a single stage? Or in other words active setup only?

My current mids are 4ohm so i know i cant use my current passive crossovers, any input would be great

8 ohm mids are more efficient than their 4 ohm "equivalents", also easier on your amp, and allow you to run more mids if you're into that sorta thing.

8 ohm speakers are common for home audio. I would bet that those woofers are also sold to the home stereo market.

Ok they are more efficient but how much more power do they need to get the same volume? 25 more? 50 more?

My LP 952 is set to run full power at 8ohms. Some amps can be set up that way.

Well they are more efficient meaning they need LESS power to reach the same volume. Search for the "real deal about 8 ohm drivers, diyma" thread on Google. It explains it all.
