Connecting Speakers in Series & Parallel: Increasing & Decreasing Ohms, Formulas & Examples
I decided to write such a topic because there are often questions "in series or in parallel" "how many Ohm" etc.
So :
As if someone did not know or forgot, I remind you:
When connecting in series, "Ohms" increase (add them), e.g.
2x8? in series connection is 16? 8 + 8 = 16?
3x8? in series connection is 24? 8 + 8 + 8 = 24?
2x4? in series connection is 8? 4 + 4 = 8?
and so on
When connecting in parallel, the "Ohms" decrease. We count it from the formula 1 / R = 1 / Ra + 1 / Rb + 1 / Rc + ... + 1 / Rn
2x8? when connected in parallel is about 4?
3x8? when connected in parallel is about 3?
and so on
Please expand the thread.

In the case of the coils themselves, it would fit at least an example parallel 8 ?, it is correctly (8 * 8) / (8 + 8) = 4. It is also possible to connect the loudspeakers in series-parallel to maintain... [Read more]
fuutro, it would be nice to have spaces between the characters in this pattern, because the smiley faces have turned up and not everyone will understand what's going on. With this equal distribution... [Read more]
this comes out at 2.67, you have a bit of a bad record :) But the topic is very good, such a tip would be useful when it comes to the maximum power when connecting the speakers [Read more]
It's done too badly, to school buddy to school !!! If in this case, 2 packs of 8 ohms, your result was correct, but the counting method was wrong! The resultant of impedance (resistance) is calculated... [Read more]
As already connecting in series, it is only identical speakers, the same power, impedation and bandwidth. I will probably be lynched in a moment for questions like what about the power of the set in the... [Read more]
As for me, serial connection is a waste of money. Actually, the second driver (the second and each subsequent one) in the line does not bring anything useful. It seems to me that if someone gives two transducers,... [Read more]
Everything is ok, but no one takes into account that having a 200W / 4R amplifier and giving 2 100W / 8R speakers will be perfect, with an equal connection, the sum of their power will be about 200W and... [Read more]
Apart from the issues of impedance and matching to the amplifier. Is it not a coincidence that when connected in series, the inductance of one loudspeaker affects the other? Kind of like a dynamic low-pass... [Read more]
Hello! I don't want to start a new topic and my problem seems to fit perfectly here. Namely: I recently bought eltron loudspeakers which someone has already manipulated - each of the speakers has one... [Read more]
Each speaker must work in a separate chamber. It is not known, however, whether this "no name" is suitable for anything, and besides, it will not be as effective as the GDS. What resistance is this "no... [Read more]
Gentlemen, maybe someone will advise how to connect the speakers in these columns? the solution about which I wrote 2 posts above will work? Thank you in advance for your help [Read more]
We are talking about the "no name" loudspeaker, so remain its parameters, and thus the final result of such an undertaking. I guess my colleague does not expect miracles and judgments based on the above-mentioned... [Read more]
I understand this and I am aware of it, but I would like to know if it is acceptable to connect two 4Ohm speakers in parallel and connect two such speakers in series to the amplifier. And how will the... [Read more]
It is acceptable, but the 2 Ohm loudspeakers are rather unheard of in stage and stage-like designs, more so in CAR AUDIO, but for other reasons ... How will impedance change? - Depends on the frequency... [Read more]
