6 ohm speakers - uprate to 8 ohm?
Still fettling my Akai stero system.
Base unit with tape is now working after new fuse inserted. CD transport naffed - checked by trying on other system. So I have decided to chuck the second partly broken stereo stack and keep the speakers. However, just realised that the speakers are 6 ohm, and the connectors on the back of the amp say Speakers (6-16ohm) and Surround Speakers (8-16 ohm). Grr....gnarghh....there goes my plan to use the spare set of speakers for surround speakers. So is running 6 ohm speakers on an 8-16 ohm speaker circuit likely to blow the speakers or the amplifier? Is there an easy way to uprate the speakers to 8 ohm? Otherwise I'll probably have to chuck them. Apart from anything else I think that 6 ohm speakers are fairly rare, and that most speakers come in at 8 ohm. Cheers Dave R -- No plan survives contact with the enemy.
