Simple and easy to follow great work teach
I wanted studio series amp/ speakers in my car , due to the fact that me & by brother produce music & test it on the go sometimes..this came in the clutch amigo! thank you
very educational thank you
Thank you for the informative video. Do you have one on how to wire multiple speakers to a 3 way crossover to achieve the correct impedence?
So if I took your combo series and parallel at 8 ohms and I wanted to add a woofer to it I would probably be best if i went with like a 16 ohm woofer?
Great overview. Coming from an electronics background, it all comes down to impedance matching. The source (amp) must match the load (speakers) if you don't want to damage/overload/underload your system.
Hi great video. Pls is it that the higher the ohms and power the better or more powerful d speaker or vice versa?
Informative, You save many amps by guiding correctly
Hi, Please help me, I want to connect my two 15" instrumental speakers, 1 midrange and 1 tweeter, to my 3way crossover network. all rated 8ohms. Should I connect the 2 instrumental speakers in series or parallel? My amp is rated 8ohms. Thanks for your help.
If 8 om 2 speakers connect on parelor so In amplifier which point we connect 4/8 om
I got 2 JL Audio 12w1v2-8 they're both 8 ohms each 300watts RMS old school Subwoofers. I bought them from a guy I used too know, they've been sitting in my closet collecting dust. This Winter I wanna have a custom ported box build for them, now I'm guessing after they both become 4 ohms wired in parallel, I would need an amp stable at 4 ohm.
what about the output, do they doubled up or divided? for example i got a pair of 200 watts 4 ohms speakers, so they become 8 ohms in series, but do they total as 400 watts? and what about in parallel?
could you comment how connect tweeter with capacitor.... what type of capacitors and different values that match with different speaker impedance
i have 2 technics sb-a38 towers they are a 3 way, 4 driver tower. each tower has 1 tweeter 1 mid & two woofers. the woofers are 10 inches and 12 inches. the impedance & wattage are listed on a tag on the back right under the speaker wire connections. both say the same but they say 8ohms @130 watts. now i would like to run both towers to an amp. can someone instruct me on how to get the full effectiveness of each driver in each tower without any complications or distortion
Is it ok for two 8 ohms tweeter whithout crossover and wire it to series config and add bass blockers and connect it to 8 ohms instrumental speaker in parallel config what is the equal ohms of this combination. I have a stereo amp that supports 8 to 16 ohms is it good or bad for the speakers and amp?
hello, good day. i want to desing an audio for a pa system. the lenght is 600m and is an open space without roofing. the purpose of the speaker is for announcement and soft music for workers. what do i do?
I have one 10 inch kicker solo baric round old school single voice coil sub, but the sub is 8ohm. And I have a boss 2 channel 1200 watt amp and it's old school also. My uncle gave it to me and he had it wired as bridged to the amp and gave it to me. But I bought a new bigger box which is a Qbomb single 10 inch side ported box. Just never heard of a 8ohm svc subwoofer
If a 300 watt 8 ohm speaker/cabinet is parallel wired to a separate 300 watt 8 ohm speaker/cabinet (reducing the load to 4 ohms) then hooked up to a 600 watts per channel (@ 4 ohms) amp, how many watts (if run at full power/600 watts) would the amp deliver to 'each speaker' please? (This speaker load would be the same for the second amp channel also = 4 cabinets/2 cabinets per channel)
can you use 6 and 4 ohm together in series for a stereo system rated at 8 ohm max? It comes out to be 10 ohms.
This is good stuff. Looking at the third example, how would you do the combination with five 8-ohm speakers and a 16-ohm amplifier?
Can it be connected a 16 Ohms tweeter (with the filter capacitor) to the 4 Ohms full range driver? What would be any difference in sound? Is it safe for both tweeter and the full range driver? What the method should follow? Kindly explain? Thank you.
Is it possible ( and how if possible ) to wire two 8 ohm speakers in one speaker box so the hook up wires for both of them ( to the amp ) will be at 8 ohms ( not 4 or 16 ohms ) ??? This question is for a two speaker box ( each with two 8 ohm speakers ) system. thank you !
Hi can I connect 8 6” 260watts speakers to a 2 ohms one channel 3000watts amp plz show me how ?
please help me,I have three speakers (8ohms) and I want to connect to the amp in one outlet,how can I wire that three speakers?
thank you...
hi, i have been trying to find an answer but no ones better than you. i want to build a speaker with 2 woofers and one tweeter.. who can i connect them? can you give me and example of their ideal rated powers and impedance if im gonna use a 2 * 50w amp?
I have 6 speaker how i connect properly in both series and parallel with 2ohm tell me sir
still not enough info i got here, you see you just do it on 1 one side of an Amplifier or Mono what happens if I will have to fill in the other side to balance the audio ofcourse i will, and i will put another 4 speakers? so would that be fine? what is the computation then?
So two 8 ohm 12 inch subwoofers should be wired in parallel to a 4 ohm monoblock amplifier?
I have a boss riot 1100 watt amp the amp is rated 1 to 4 ohms and I have two 12" JL audio 12w1v2-4 hooked up for 2 ohms and I want to add one more subwoofer same kind what is the best way to hook it up without hurting the amp.. I know the subwoofers are 600 watts each so if I hook up 3 off them that would make 1800 watts so would I need a 2000 watt amp?
finaly solv my calclutaion ...tnk u sir
I have one amp 2 channel, running a set of components,(2 tweeters,2 woofers) but i want to connect 2 more tweeters on same system how to do it..

Very nice turtorial. Can you teach me how to wire 8 x 8 ohm speakers on one channel (8 Left 8 Right) while maintaining 8 ohm? Or is this possible?
HELP, please!!!!!! I have Pioneer VSX 932 with 7.1 System each 150W 6ohm ! and every channel I connect two of those speakers so in every channel there is double of 150w 6 ohm how is the best way to connect those speakers with each other !??? now when I test it shows me that it's only 2 ohms! and tow of them RL RR they are 3 ohms and the receiver have 6-ohm output how i should connect all of thes things without risk !?
This is an excellent explanation and detailed enough for even for your average home AV guy/gal. Thanks!

👋 if I have two 4ohm + one 8ohm in one box connect to a 3000 watt 1 channel 2ohm amp how do I connect them.
So in the third example (series¶llel), it's ok to just connect the four speakers to one of the two +/- terminals (L&R; just using the R +&-) as opposed to the first example (parallel) where both the Left and Right positive and negatives are used?
Brilliant
This very good technic
I want to know I have 6 speakers 8 ohms and watt is 8 watt each. I want to use it with PAM 8610 Circuit. Is it possible. and How much power supply needed for that circuit. When I use 4 speakers with this PAM and Power supply is 12 volt 2Amp. But when I use 2 speaker more than at the time of high volume it will make ups and downs the sound.
Hi sir, I bought Yamaha PX10 and 4 boxes of Yamaha C115V passive speakers..how can I hook 2 C115V in daisy chain for each channel? because it will result into 4 ohms when connected together in stereo mode..C11V each is 8 ohms. How to set yamaha PX10 into 4 ohms for each channel? thank you Sir!..I will appreciate it much for the solution..from Philippines here...
Well, but what can I do with different ohms and watts collected speakers to built à Powerful enclosure ?
I just bought 4 mid range speakers that are 8 ohm at 125 watts rms now what’s the best 4 channel amp to buy to to power these ? Would I mend to wire them a certain way also ?? If I wire them make them 4 ohm does that mean they’ll have to be powered at a lower wattage rms ?

Darn pesky jumpers! Haha. Thank you so very much for sharing this, and the last video on 8 ohm (keyboard doesn't have the omega symbol 😔) vs 70v system. Just picked up a Realistic FM Mic PA system, beauty from I'm guessing 70s? Find out soon. Anyways it had those, I had no idea. I now know I know nothing about stereos, despite having been an audio enthusiast (okay, low budget audiophile), and wiring car stereos since I was 14...20 years ago,just as hobby. But, Man, thank you for opening my eyes. When I have time I need to watch everything you have. 🙏 😂 🎶 🔊

Did you ever resolve this?
as i know.. the amplifier are more watts than the speaker ... example . you have a 450 watts speaker it means you choose a amplifier higher than your speaker watts.. exmple 500 watts amplifier..

You're totally right! However Ohms are important to match because they are the the resistants who prevent high current (power) to the speakers, and prevent from blowing the speaker/s and overheating your amp with high voltage flowing. From my research thats my understanding and it makes sense. Lmk if you figured out, or learned another way, I would like to know!

sir i have 1 crown pr800 power amp, and i have 2 targa 12" 400w 8ohms speakers plus another 2 crown 8" 700w 8ohms speakers,what should i do to get the best sound for it ,what is the proper wiring of this speakers. is this match?
Lower the resistance the better right? Means more power. So a total resistance of less than 4ohm will be ideal. Please correct me if im wrong thanks.

It started simple but quickly turned into a science class... My brain can't handle that much equation... Can I hook an 8 olm and a 6 olm speaker to one + - channel on a power amplifier?
In the combination, parallel/series wiring, are you wiring all 4 speakers into the left channel? I’m assuming then you could add 4 more speakers to the right channel with the same wiring? I know this is an old video, but maybe I’ll get a confirmation... thank you!
