Impedance.

I have a 100w 4ohm sub from a sharp 5.1 system.

and a cambridge audio a500 RC unit coupled to 2x Wharfedale 6R's (100w 8ohm) 65 watts per channel @ 8 ohm and 85 @ 6 ohm....

Is there anychance of using these two together? as i'm going to uni, and as much as i'd like to, its completely impractical to take the 5.1 setup with me...

If its any use, the amp has 2sets of speaker terminals per channel to enable bi-wiring, a pre-out and rec-out... *shrug*

over to you? Would be great if you could shed some light on this, i'm used to the kick i get from having a sub next to me, and the 5.1.. and would obviously quite like to take a fair setup with me... (it was a cheap pickup a yr ago...) and i#d like to add the sub to it somehow?

Cheers!!
Alex.

well the sub is from a sharp SD-AT1000 5.1 system. all the speakers are 4ohm... afaik.

i was just hoping that it could be put to use with this amp too...

i bit the bullet and jus connected it up. to the 2nd set of terminals to one of the channels. it seemed very low volume wise.

is this due to the fact the amp is rated for 6-8ohm? and the sub being 4? or another reason??

Thanks for your reply,
Alex
