System 4: Four speakers in series/parallel combination
1. Group the four speakers into two pairs.
2. Connect each pair of speakers in SERIES (see system 2 above).
If you connect 8-ohm speakers, the total impedance of each pair is 16 ohms.
3. Connect the two pairs of speakers in PARALLEL, If you connect 8-ohm speakers,
the total impedance of both pairs is 8 ohms.
Note: If each of the four speakers is 8 ohms, the total speaker impedance of the
combined series/parallel connection described above is also 8 ohms. Likewise,
the total speaker impedance is 4 or 16 ohms, if the speakers are 4 or 16 ohms
respectively.
4. Connect the speakers (-) terminals to the amplier's COMMON terminal.
5. Connect the speakers' (+) terminals to the amplier's 4-Ohm, 8-Ohm, or 16-Ohm
terminal, depending on the TOTAL IMPEDANCE of the FOUR SPEAKERS.
See the chart below for some samples system suggestions:
