The following chart will show the net impedance the amplifier will see when using multiple speakers. Before making connections to your amplifier, be sure to check the amplifier's impedance capability (lowest load allowed). Connecting low impedance loads beyond the amplifiers specified capabilities will cause the amplifier to over-heat and cause permanent damage to the amplifier and speakers.
