Series, parallel, variations

Series/parallel variations Although the description above is for combining a series pair and a parallel pair in a parallel hookup, you may also elect to combine two series pairs in parallel hookup. Simply be sure you have properly calculated the total impedance, and attach the (+) speaker circuit wire to the proper amp terminal. For example, if you use two pairs of 8 ohm speakers in series each pair, the impedance for each pair is 16 Ohms. Connected in parallel to the amp terminals, the TOTAL impedance is 8 Ohms, so you should connect these to the 8 Ohm terminal. 9

Although
the
description
above
is
for
combining
a
series
pair
and
a
parallel
pair
in
a
parallel
hookup
,
you
may
also
elect
to
combine
two
series
pairs
in
parallel
hookup
.
Simply
be
sure
you
have
properly
calculated
the
total
impedance, and attach the (+) speaker circuit wire to
the proper amp terminal. For
example
,
if
you
use
two
pairs
of
8
ohm
speakers
in
series
each
pair
,
the
impedance
for
each
pair
is
16
Ohms
.
Connected
in
parallel
to
the
amp
terminals
,
the
TOTAL
impedance
is
8
Ohms
,
so
you
should
connect
these
to
the
8
Ohm
terminal
.
