Posted - Apr 16 2006 : 01:19:07 AM We just installed a new radio in the '89 Camaro. Nothing really fancy. A CD player with installation kit (actually worked quite well even though one side of the car's bracket is busted where the previous radio was stolen.) Anyway on the top of the radio it says to use 4 Ohm speakers. Well, the ones in the dash are still stock, 6 or 8 Ohm I believe, and the ones in back are Pioneers, not sure of the Ohms. 6 I believe. Well the volume on the new radio is really touchy (it was almost the same on the old one that came out). I was wondering... would replacing the speakers with 4 Ohm units help solve the touchy volume?

Posted - Apr 16 2006 : 10:35:50 AM I didn't think it would make a difference in volume sensitivity so I searched around:
So as I suspected it looks like having too high a speaker impedance will not cause hypersensitive volume but will reduce the output of your amp. At least in theory. There might be something about the output amp on your stereo that causes this problem if the wrong speakers are installed but I doubt it.
