plug 4ohm subwoofer and 6ohm speaker into same terminal?

[george778111]

i have a Pioneer Sc1224 rated for 4-16 ohms, pair of 6 ohm Jenson X7s and a 4ohm 320W Panasonic SB-W940 subwoofer. The Sub only has bare speaker wires and the pioneer has preamp coaxial outs. I'm wondering if i could connect my sub to one of the front terminals along with my Jensons ?

It needs 4 ohm speakers. And the sub needs to be self powered. http/www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/42/98/405/SC-1224-K/specs.html

Its a great looking receiver. Don't stuff it by fitting a mix of speakers. Put a set on it.

You cannot connect the sub passively along with the Jensen speakers because the combined impedance will be to low. Since your receiver has a line level sub out you will need an amp to drive the sub. Probably better to just get a self powered sub.
