SERIES/PARALLEL VARIATIONS
Although the description above is for combining TWO SERIES PAIRS in a PARALLEL
hook up, you may also select to combine a SERIES PAIR and a PARALLEL PAIR in a
PARALLEL hook up. Simply be sure you have properly calculated the total impe-
dance, and connect the (+) speaker circuit wire to the proper amp terminal.
For example, if you use a SERIES PAIR of 8-Ohms speakers (the total impedance is
16 ohms) and a PARALLEL PAIR of 8-Ohms speakers (the total impedance is 4 ohms)
in a PARALLEL hook up, the TOTAL IMPEDANCE of this system is 3.2 OHMS, so you
should connect the (+) speaker circuit wire to the 4-OHM terminal.
See the chart below for some samples system suggestions:
