Hey everyone one of my power amps reads the following in the manual:
The (output) jacks are wired together in parallel. The internal amplifier of the can deliver its full power output into as little as 2 ohms. The chart below can help determine the total impedance load when connected to various combinations of speakers in parallel. Never connect the mixer to any combination of speakers that have a total impedance of less than 2 ohms!
SPEAKER NUMBER OF TOTAL
IMPEDANCE SPEAKERS IMPEDANCE
4 ohms 2 2 ohms
8 ohms 2 4 ohms
8 ohms 4 2 ohms
16 ohms 2 8 ohms
etc. etc.
Since the output jacks are wired in parallel, does it mean that the speakers must be wired in parallel also for the above chart to be correct or can they be hooked in series and get the same effect? HELP!!! (what if the speakers are wired in "parallel" also? Does that make a difference?) I can't seem to get a straight answer on this...
THANKS!
