Hello. Can you help me with a question re: pa systems? This is a long-winded question, sorry...
In my band's rehearsal room we have a pa system and one of the speakers died. I have managed to locate two new speakers. The PA is 4 ohm and has two jack outputs. The two new speakers are 8 ohm and have two parallel jack inputs.
The one remaining old speaker (which would make a handy monitor for the drummer) has speakon inputs (I have the necessary cables to link it to wherever).
I'm a bit backward on pa system terms "parallel" and "ohms" and so on. Firstly, is it ok to use the two 8 ohm speakers with the 4 ohm pa? and is there any way I can safely link up the third speaker? Do parallel inputs on the back of speakers mean you can daisy-chain another speaker from the spare jack input? ie. could I plug the two new speakers into the two outputs on the pa and then tack on the third speaker as a kind of "speaker thru" from one of the new speakers?
