I've been talking to my roommates about some car audio stuff and even though I have been doing sound for a while I find myself confused.
1)Say you have a 2 channel amplifier rated 150W at 8 Ohms.
Putting one speaker on each side is fine and it does not change the impedance of the amp. However when you start adding more speakers, it changes the impedance. I was getting series and parallel mixed up in terms of how it changes the impedance.
Can someone clarify this for me?
2)With car audio, most speakers and amps are rated at 2 or 4 ohms. What's the reason for using a lower impedance?
3)Someone was asking me if speakers are AC voltage or DC voltage. I was pretty sure that it's AC...was I correct?
4)When an amp is measured in RMS, is this more or less the safe amount of power it can put out?
As always, thanks in advance!
