SERIES/PARALLEL VARIATIONS
The description above explains how to combine two series pairs in a parallel
hook-up. However, you may also combine a series pair and a parallel pair in a
parallel hook-up. Make sure you have calculated the total impedance correctly,
and connect the (+) speaker circuit wire to the appropriate amplier terminal.
For example, if you use a series pair of 8-Ohm speakers (resulting in a total
impedance of 16 Ohms) and a parallel pair of 8-Ohm speakers (resulting in a total
impedance of 4 Ohms) in a parallel hook-up, the total impedance of this system is
3.2 Ohms. Therefore, you should connect the (+) speaker circuit wire to the 4-Ohm
terminal.
See the chart below for some samples system suggestions:
