Default Question on impedance

Hi there,

Being a newbie on audio tech, I just realized that the Pioneer module
that I just bought was meant for 6-16 ohms speakers, while my old speakers
are 4 ohms. I tried connecting the system as it is, and the sound seemed
to be all right. Does this mean that I can use it that way on a regular
basis, or am I to have problems soon ?

Thanks in advance for your replies

You may just notice things getting a little warm if you consistently
run them at seriously high volume - close to clipping. If your
listening is at normal moderate levels, just don't worry about it.
Speaker impedance ratings are largely a work of fiction (or the
marketing department saying lets call them 8 ohms) anyway.
