Series Vs. Parallel Wiring

Page 1 || Page 2

In some cases, it may be necessary to wire speakers in different configurations in order to properly match the amplifier's impedance capabilities. The following diagrams show different connections in order to get your desired impedance load.

There are basically two different ways to wire speakers, "Series", and "Parallel". Typically the series wiring configuration is used to increase the impedance and parallel is used to reduce the impedance. For the larger more advanced systems, you can combine both series and parallel connections to achieve your desired net impedance.
