Members Guitarist4life Posted June 14, 2007 Members Share Posted June 14, 2007 I just bought a Soundtech PMX10SD powered mixer (450w x 2 at 4ohms)Im just trying to figure out what speakers to buy.If its 450w at 4ohms, that means that its only 225w at 8 ohms, right??? and that means less volume,am I correct? I was thinking about the Yamaha BR-15 speakers, but they are 250w continous at 8 ohms and 500w peak:freak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marko Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't know what the Soundtech's 8 Ohm rating is, but my Yamaha 400 watt x 2 says it's 270watts at 8 Ohms. The BRs are 250 watts "Program", which is the most you'll want to put to them. Does the BR line represent your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 The Yam BR series is pretty poor. Peavey PR10/12/15 are ok for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gruvjack Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 To get the most out of your amp, you want 4 ohm speakers. I suggest a used pair of Yorkville E404. V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gary in NJ Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 and that means less volume,am I correct?: No. Not all speakers share the same efficiency. Look at the "SPL" (sound pressure level) figure. If your goal is to make the most power (and btw, working your amp harder), use a 4 ohm speaker. However, "loudness" is based on many factors, watts being a small part of that equation. I suggest going to your local store and comparing several different cabs without regard to specifications. Pick the ones that sound best TO YOU within your price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GUITKRAZY Posted June 15, 2007 Members Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have to agree on the Yorkville's I bought Two YX15's a couple of months ago and Love them! They are great- The price, The Quality, and the Warranty is unbeatable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
