8 ohm speakers or 4 ohm speakers

[pwuser158425343893]

Assalam o Aluikum

Hope all are fine so,
Im having a new and 1st experience for speakers in my car thats why im asking if anyone does this before..
my ride is cultus 2016(old shape)
I have EIGHT 8 ohms 4 inches Sony woofer speakers and 4 alpine tweeters and a Rockville american amplifier

Now a help is needed for speakers..
An amplifier gives 80watts rms x 4 at 4 ohms and 110watts rms x 2 ohms... im planning to connect 4 speakers to channel 1 by parallel wiring to make a total load of 2 ohms and 100 watts and same for other 4 speakers in parallel to channel 2 and channel 3/4 for tweeters.....
now please tell me will these 8 speakers give more powerful and clear sound or still 4 ohm speakers are better like 6x9s or other speakers ????? please help me... im having a first experience in this case ive never did that before..

Are the 4" drivers from a home theater setup?
4" drivers are never a good option for low frequencies. There won't be any lows (bass to put it simply)
Would be best if you state the model numbers for the parts you have.

In all honesty, I'd suggest you simply get a pair of comps, mount them at the front and enjoy your front stage. I can't imagine where you will put in 8 4" speakers around the car unless you are planning on fiber glassing so it won't end up like a mess

Thanks for the reply...

Nah i dont know the model number or other specs coz my brother bought these speakers from lahore and he is saying these are sony speakers..... however i tested 2 of them in my home car audio setup... they can play lows like 45hz but in a sealed box bcz their magnets are large enough.... im thinking to mount these in rear sealed wooden tray...

If there are no specs, how are you planning on giving them power? 110rms at 2ohm is a alot of power for some 4 inch speakers for which you have no spec sheet (e.g setting your gains blindly). Magnet size also isnt the only factor. Bring in the math and you can argue your 8 4" drivers will have close to the same surface area as 2 8" drivers but again it's not what you think (xmax, sens etc also are factors). even if you install 20 4" drivers, what good will that be if it doesnt sound good? I hope you are getting the point. There's a reason why you have separate drivers in a component setup each designed to play certain frequencies and fill in the gaps.

You may go ahead and wire up your speakers in parallel with your amp on your home bench test area. The math is good. listen to some songs and see if it really is the sound you are looking for.

Which city are you in btw

On the back of the speaker... there is just written 8 ohms 25 watts thats why im connecting 4 4" in parallel to a load of 110 watts at 2ohm (((wattage will also increase if we parallel speakers))).... is it too much power for speakers or is it ok?? btw i got your points and thanks for your sharing ....
However ill experience this once in a car and ill make a video ....

standard 6.5 inch compenents and 6X9 speakers having 4 Ohm impedence will perform better becasue they are purpose built and matching with amps specs.

please remember that car interior is most irregular and considering the road and environment aorund which is very harsh, the purpose built speakers are best suited for cars.

even speaker meant for home theater having 4 ohms dont perform as good as purpose built car speakers

Check your pm

Wattage won't increase. In a parallel setup, you are providing 110rms to each speaker from the amplifier. In a series wiring, your amp power is distributed. Since your speakers only say 25 watts, you can't be sure if this is the peak value or the rms. If this is the peak, that would mean your rms value is even lower. If you become slightly trigger happy with that gain knob, say bye bye to your speakers

Before installing all of this in your car, I'd suggest bench test them
