Finally, someone getting rid of all the hypotheticals and actually testing it. Last guy was talking about a golf ball and air speed

[ProfessorOzone]

Finally! Most channels will run through equations, show SPL curves, spout out technical jargon. You just simply played the music. Thank you.

[hellraiserharry]

Thank you for doing these tests I bought some 4 ohm mids and was wondering if I made the best decision I'm glad there is no big audible difference.

[normanmatura]

My friend the difference is if you take 2 and 8 ohm speakers are that you can bridge them together that will make 4 ohms impedance so if you have a 4-ohm amp you can hook two speakers to one channel and stay at 4 ohms, or if the amplifier is a 2 ohm amplifier you can hook 4 speakers on each channel.

[RobHTech]

I like this vid. So many people misunderstand ohm law etc. and how a 2 omh speaker is not automatically louder than a 4 ohm or even an 8ohm of the same speaker. 8 ohm is actually easier on the components and amps, etc., and 8 ohm also is easier to control the flow of power than either 4 ohm or 2 ohm. The lower the ohm rating of a speaker, etc., inherent is a reduction in clarity, etc.--quality--and the power is also harder to control and the ohm rating goes down.

Thanks for the great videos. I look forward to the competitions. The difference in 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers is the ohm load they put on the amplifier. The 4 ohm speaker will make the amplifier run in 4 ohm mode which is usually twice the power as it puts out in 8 ohm. So if you have two speakers a (4 ohm and 8 ohm)on the same amp but different channels, the 4 ohm channel is putting out double the watts as the 8 ohm channel. That means the 4 ohm speaker will be louder than the 8 ohm speaker but only by a few decibels. Also, when the amplifiers ohms are dropped from 8 to 4 to 2 or even 1 ohm the distortion levels usually increase in output. So using a 4 ohm speaker would double the power and increase distortion when comparing it to the 8 ohm. When comparing speakers the ohms need to be the same. Thanks again you've helped me choose which mids I'm going to purchase!

guys .an 8 ohm speaker is 3db more efficient than a 4 ohm..it this amp is 250w at 4 ohms it means at 8 ohms is 125 watts.even the 8 ohm driver receives half the powet it plays the same loudness with the 4 ohm.this means that with 8 ohms the amp will be much less stressed than with 4 and it will play cleaner. an additional benfir is the damping factor of the amplifier will be double at 8 iohms.of course the current demand from the cars electrical system will be half for the same loudness.if you add two 8 ohms drivers in paralel eveything will be as a 4 ohm one but it will be 6db louder which is a huge difference

[brettleisy]

4 vs 8 Ohm isnt really a power thing. if you close your eyes you can hear the difference between them. its not volume, its tone and texture of the different ranges. the 8 ohm sounded "thicker" at the lower ranges, but muffled the mids and highs. where as the 4 ohm lost some of the meaty bass, but gained more crisp sound in the mids and highs. when I put together a system a couple decades ago, I used 8 ohm subs and used 4 ohm mids and tweeters, I would have taken the tweets to 2 ohm but they just werent around back then really. but I had an incredibly rich sounding stereo. heavy base that you could feel passing through you, and crystal shattering highs. now I wish I could get something other than 2 or 4 ohm speakers for my motorcycle :(

[Trinidadcaraudio]

Ok all amps are rated to do power at certain ohm loads eg the amp will says 500 at 4 ohm and 1000 at 1 ohm the speakers will tell the amp what power to put out so yes the 4 ohm will play louder than the 8 ohm on the same amp anyway great video watching from trinidad and just a little advice doubling the power on a speaker doesnt mean it will play twice as loud it doesn't work that way

[taariqmayet]

The only difference i hear is frequency response is way better on the 8ohm…the 4 ohm is kind of beaming at certain frequencies. As an audiophile i choose the 8ohm for clarity reasons but for power and noise value i say choose the 4ohm. Its cheaper to make given watts @ 4 ohm than @ 8ohm to make 200w rms @ 8ohm is probably 4x the price. Amp to speaker matching is very important as well.

[williemccraw]

It does not matter about ohms. Ohms only determines how much resistance the speaker is. 4 ohm is easier to move than 8 ohms

[michaelsegarra]

The less ohms the more power it draws from the amp mike it might not be noticeable at low volume but crnk that volume up and youll smell some smoke from the 4ohm speaker first.if you have really good amp and you want more speakers you can have 4 8ohm speakers per channel to a final load of 2 ohm per channel vs only 2 4ohms tht make the same 2ohms final load per chanel so you tell me if 8 speakers vs 4 speakers makes diference with 8 speakers if you have the room you.can have way more punchy middbass or nice and clear vocals

I always enjoy watching your videos. In the beginning of the video you said that one is 4 ohms and the other is 8 ohms. You also stated that they are on the same channel and if that's the case you will have a 12 ohms load on that Channel. If you have a 4 channel amplifier connect each speaker to a separate channel like 1, 2 channel or 3, 4 channel because those channels will have the same tuning. The amplifier will put out it separate power due to the load impedance of each speaker. Thar way the test will be more fair. I am not expecting double the power, double loudness from the 4 ohms speaker at all. And for the people who are commenting about 8 ohms lasting longer than 4 ohms. The truth is it really doesn't matter. If you match your amplifier properly with your speaker's impedance and rms wattage output then you shouldn't have any problems of amplifier overheating or speakers burning.

[jasonneal]

A couple of factors. First off, it will depend on speaker efficiency, if you have a 4ohm driver with a lower efficiency rating than a 8 ohm drive that has a higher rating, then the amount of output will be close. Also the amplifier has a part in it. Not all amps produce double the power when you cut the impedance in half. Some will, some won’t. So it depends on the amp’s out put on impedance and the efficiency of the speaker’s Thiel small parameters. That’s why some speakers sound louder than others with the same amplifier. Efficiency = power output

[JerzeYxKinG]

I like 8ohm more for voice nd loudness’s i noticed in my experience and they are less likely to burn . Had a lot of 4ohms burn

[VNXiTrum]

They're both 250 watt drivers/speakers. They should produce same quality sound in design. It's totally depend on how much the powered amp can produce in 8 ohm or 4 ohm channels, and the wiring here too. Please check the amplifier power outputs in manual or specs! It's missed leading fact or myth busted!

[krishanmendez]

What people want to say is....if you give a 8ohm speaker 200watts it will play loud but if you remove the 8ohm speaker and you add a 4ohm speaker your amp wattage will go up a bit so it will play louder.... but if you give a 8 ohm speaker 200 watts and the same 200 to a 4ohms there will be no difference

[tankkinfolkreed]

I heard the 4ohm just a tad bit louder i would rock that 4ohm

[Militia_Dei]

The question that should be asked is why are the majority of car speakers 4 ohm and not 6 ohm or 8 ohm which you find in most home hi fi speakers?

[dangullik]

The 4 Ohm play 3 DB louder than the 8 Ohm, they both play equal top voloume. but the 4 Ohm draw more power out of the same amplifier, thats the way it work...
