Ohm rating on speaker vs Ohm on headset

[holyman 10+ year member]

My head set is 22x4 rms at 4 ohm

and the speakers are 2 ohm

2 ohm speakers will make your headunit shut off at high volume, and sound distorted at low volume. Don't do it.

Audio

Maximum power output ....... 50 W × 4

50 W × 2/4 ohm + 70 W × 1/2

ohm (for subwoofer)

Continuous power output ... 22 W × 4 (50 Hz to 15 000

Hz, 5% THD, 4 ohm load, both

channels driven)

Load impedance ...................... 4 ohm to 8 ohm × 4

4 ohm to 8 ohm × 2 + 2 ohm × 1

thats the info it gives me

you can get away with 3 ohm. but 2. no unless you have a 2 ohm stable amp..

those are the numbers for the head unit and the speaker will be wired right to it

the cooling in most head units isn't capable of dealing with the extra heat created by running at 2 ohms. Just get 4 ohm speakers.
