Fairly quick question. is it possible to connect my speakers in this way ( pic Below ) I have 4 4 ohm speaker I want to put 2 per channel. Is that possible ? If you need more info please feel free to contact me and i will post an info you need to help me out. Now I need not only an answer but a short explination so I never have to ask this again If you just say no I will be like ok And one day ask again cause I am forgetful like that LOL Thanking all who read and answer this post to help me out.
Yes, the two four ohm can be connected in parallel to create a single 2 ohm load, as viewed by the head unit or amplifier. The next step is to ensure that the head unit or amplifier that is driving those speakers is rated for operation at that load. BTW, the amplifier will be working much harder at the 2 ohm load and will be generating much more heat.
Ok so what your saying is that when connected in Parallel 2, 4 ohm speakers will only give a footprint of 2 ohm Load on my AMP ? Ok I am so confused now. How is that possible I am probably missing some law and wiring magic but does something cancel someting out ? I must sound like a real Idiot but If i don't ask I will never learn. I hope you are not gonna chop me apart but Hey its worth a try to get to understand right ?
That is correct. In this simple example there are now two identical 4 ohm current paths out of the amp. The equivalent circuit to the amp is a single 2 ohm current path. There are LOTS of sites w/ this information. Here is one. Look at Example 2 in this link. What amp is driving these speakers? What is the amp's specified rating for speaker impedance?
