4 channel wiring question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was wondering if plugging in the positive wire from two 4 ohm speakers to the positive terminal on one channel and the negative wires to the negative terminal on the same channel would increase, drop, or maintain the ohm load? I over heard someone in a car audio shop here in town say something about it but didn't hear the whole conversation and figured I would ask the one site with the people I feel I can trust with a question like this to get the correct answer. Thanks guys.

if you put two 4 ohm speakers on one channel, it will drop the ohm load to 2 ohms

The method you over-heard in the shop is connecting the speakers in parallel. And yes the load would drop.

BTW....the search function on this forum works well. So does google

I tried google and got some information about it and I couldn't get the right search through here so figured I could ask. Thanks for the information though. Been a big help.

^^^^sorry on my phone in the middle of an install. Next time try to generalize to a topic rather than a specific thing. Jus for example in ur case 'speaker connections'

Not trying to be a jackass I've made the same mistake too with searches in the past
