It will work but it is not recommended to use speakers with different ohm rating or efficiency ratings. It will result in 1 pair playing too soft and the other playing too loud. It is always best to use the same speakers or a pair with same ohm rating and spl efficiency.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the speakers do not have to have balanced impedance, but make sure that the positive side of the 18 ohm speaker is not connected to the same set of posts as the negative side of the 8 ohm speaker. The recommended impedance in the amplifier is 4 ohms for a 8 to 16 ohm range. The factory preset is 6 ohms, but you can change the impedance by using the remote control set up button. I've stayed with the factory pre-set, and the sound seems to be just fine.
