CAN I Use My Satalite Speaker (4ohm 15 w) Instead Of Monitor Speaker(2W 4 OHM)

[symbianz107]

I have HP Monitor This One https/support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01662790
Which have inbulit Speaker It's Damged Now it's not working Properly Can I use my This spekaer

I tried it's works but I afraid that it's doesn't have required power

It's always safe to use speakers rated higher than the amp, provided you don't have tin ears and can hear the amp clipping. I have an 800w stereo amp and never listen to it over 1w but I'd imagine those tiny speakers are terribly inefficient so would never get very loud.

BFG-9000 So I can use 15 w 4ohm speaker Of my output power of monitor 2w 4w
So I can replace both with my 15 w xddddd

First of all those satellites are 10w RMS speakers (they are from a powered speaker set with the amp in the sub). The amp in the monitor suited for 2w speakers will drive those fine, just not very loudly.

The danger with overdriving a low wattage amp is the waveform goes to straight DC at the tips when clipping and this can blow up tweeters. Guess what--those speakers have full range 3" paper drivers with no tweeters that can easily blow. Given enough abuse though anything can be destroyed and blasting enough DC through the original monitor speakers may well be what killed them. If that's the case then the satellites aren't going to be 5x as durable despite being rated 10w.

You could use home speakers rated for hundreds of watts with that 2w amp and it would work fine--I've hooked home speakers to clock radios that had less power than that and they sounded 100x better than the original 2" drivers (the important number is the efficiency one to let you know how loud it gets at 1w).

Of course if you wanted better sound quality you could get some powered speakers that accept speaker-level inputs. Even that speaker setup (with the sub) might work if you bodge together some speaker wire-to-RCA cables. Costs about nothing to try it.
