Question Connecting 5 Ohm Subwoofer to a AVR rated 6-16 OHM

[fahadsgalaxy]

HI,

im planning to get the Sony STR-DN1080

And Yamaha SW100 Subwoofer

Now the Receiver is rated 6- 16 Ohms
But the Yamaha sub is rated at 5 Ohms

I just wanna know what kind of troubles will I be running into ?

The only Yamaha SW100 Subwoofer I find is the NS-SW100 which is a self powered sub. Impedence won't matter with a self powered sub.

Short answer: Don't matter.

Longer answer: Ohm rating matters to speakers because they are being POWERED (operative word) by AVR. But most (98%) of AVR don't power subs, subs power themselves.
