<VV> RE: radio speaker

[Paula Tilsley]

Question one)  Will using a 4 ohm instead of a 10 ohm damage the radio?

Using the 4 Ohm speaker will not damage the radio.  If anything, it
would just be easier to blow the speaker.  However, the closer the
impedance, the better the sound quality will be.  You could add a
resistor in-line to match the speaker impedance to the radio but it
would probably be easier to get close with an 8 ohm speaker and call it
a day.  Do not use a speaker with a higher impedance than the radio, as
it will make the amp work too hard and could potentionally damage the
radio.
