How can you tell how many ohms a speaker is?

Answer by  Infinity (35)

It's usually written on the back part of the magnet, if you have the speaker, you just pull it out of the case and turn it around. The important is the value with either ohms, or omega sign. You can also try to search the web for the model number.

Most speakers have an area marked with the speakers average impedance in Ohms along with other important information, check all sides and remove the grill if necessary. It may be written directly on the speaker itself but be careful not to damage the cone. You can also test the speakers using a voltmeter.

A speakers should have the number of ohms printed on the back of the magnet. If the speaker doesn't have a label on it than a ohmmeter or multimeter could be used to determine the amount of ohms it is.

you take the speaker out of the box and make sure there is no power running to it at all. then you will have to get yourself a digital volt ohm meter also known as a dvom. then there should be two wire connections on them that you would hook the dvom to while it is on the ohm setting.

You need to know what type of speaker it is if the ohmage is not listed on the speaker. The ohm data can be located in multiple places usually on a sticker on the speaker, unfortunately there is no standardization for it's location.

I can tell Ohms of the speaker seeing the manufacturer's label on the Speaker or look into manufacturer's specifications. Measuring a speaker with an ohmmeter is not worth.
