4, 6, 8 ohm Little Help

In the new house.

Had downstairs wired 5.1 and upstairs media room 7.1

Picked up a Yamaha 5.1 to replace the old unit which was getting flakey.

Kept previous speakers.

They are rated 4 ohm

Yamaha unit will run 6 or 8 ohm.

Do I have an issue running Yamaha at 6 with 4 speakers?

Second issue.

Yamaha has RCA out for sub.

Low power guys ran coax for the sub. Never heard of that one.

Sub used to connect with standard + - wires.

Picked up RCA to Coax connections for one end and coax to RCA to 2 wire at the sub.

No workey.

Plugged sub directly into Yamaha with the RCA/2 wire adaptor, no workey.

So either sub is dead or ????
