Question about speaker ohms.

bill dearmore · From: Belton,Tx.,USA

I have a Stewart World 1.2 amp. Can I run a 4ohm spkr on one side and 8 ohm on the other?

would you want to? Probably not. Checking out the spec sheet, it says 350W@4 and 200W@8... so one speaker may be a *bit* louder than the other.
Very Happy

Will I damage anything by doing this?

I would vote no.

That amp is designed to run on 4 or 8 ohms. Each side is independent, so one side will be running on 4, the other on eight.

As previously stated, you might need to up the volume on the 8 ohm side for equal outputs.

SS amps can run at any impedance higher than the minimum rated.

Mixed loads are not common, but I have seen them before. No worries.
