I tried this out with my build I'm working on and it worked perfectly. I have 10 speakers hooked up to my amp at 2 ohm and the play beautifully. Thanks for this man will update and show a video of my install at a later date
Four 11 ohm speakers in parallel is 11/4 = 2.75 total. With two sets of these in series is 2.75 + 2.75 = 5.5 ohms. If you put all 11 in parallel it would be 11/8 = 1.375 ohms. If in series you would add them 11x8 = 88 ohms.
Basically each bank of 4 is wired in parallel (daisy chained) and you end up with 1/4 the ohm on each 4 speaker bank and the. Wire those two bank as if it were two speakers in series by connecting the + of the left bank to the - of the right bank and that doubles the ohms back up to 5.5. Parallel wiring divides the ohms by the # of speakers and series multiplies the ohms of each bank by the # of banks or “effective” speakers.
Sorry I wasn't here two years ago. Each group of four on each side is wired in parallel ( + to + ), then the groups of four which is now like one speaker are wired in series minus to plus.
@@greatmind3823 sure u can it's called series connection, like getting 3V from two 1.5 batteries inside a remote, you connect + to - and Voltage increases and resistance increases.
great video man. could you please advise. i have 3x 8ohm mid range speakers per channel and my amp is 4ohm load is there a way of connecting these safely. many thanks.
Neat im thinking of doing the same thing gonna remodify my cabinets I have 7ft cabs that are gonna be nothing but woofers You gave me and idea on how to do my mid and tweeter section.Thanks very cool
great video. OK I'm building a speaker box with 2 channel 4 ohm amplifier and three 8 ohm speakers for each side total six speakers. Can I connect them parallel or series or both?
bru Bna , wire them 3 per channel in parallel to get 2 ohms. if your amp is 2 ohms stable that is but why are you even doing this? it's not necessary to use so many speakers anyways. people are ridiculously crazy about doing stuff like this. just buy better quality speakers and or bigger speakers to get the sound you want. more is not always better !!!!!!?
Hi I have a question about hooking up some speakers? These speakers are audio speakers that I've collected out of TV sets I have to 20w at six ohms the other two speakers are six ohms but no wattage marked on the magnet. And two tweeters at 8 ohms not marked as far as watts either ! Will I need to make a crossover to hook all the speakers together? I could try and send you a picture if you want me to?
Multiple resistive loads in parallel accumulate less total resistance. He said 4 x 11 Ohm speakers would be 5.5 Ohms.. I believe that's incorrect, rather 2 x 11 ohm speakers would equal 5.5 Ohms.. His total parallel resistance is 2.75 Ohms.. Series is the opposite ie: 1 x 11 Ohm = 11, 2 x 11 ohm = 22 ohm, 3 x 11 ohm = 33 ohm.. Please correct me if i'm wrong but Impedence calculus should be the same as resistance and of course opposite that of capacitance..
Good explanation thanks. How do you connect let's say. Two-piece of 15inchLF, Four piece of 6.5inch MF, and Twopiece of tweeters for HF to a three way crossover, all speakers are either 4or8ohms. And what should be the wattage of the crossover and the ohms please advise.
If you wire two different speakers (let's say a 20W RMS and a 100W RMS speaker) of the same impedance in parallel, would you have any issues with the 20W speaker being overpowered?
I have a box of 8 speakers with 4 at 8 ohm bass speakers, 3 voice speakers at 4 ohm & 1 tweeter. when volume increase over 50% the system automatically goes off. I do not know what to do ...! I may not have properly connected the wires or crossover is not strong enough to bear all the speakers that we have recently change from 400w to 1000w I made. Please give me some advice or direct me where I could see how to make it work 100%. thank you
This is very interesting. My question is along the lines of this. I’m running 8 6.5. Considering running them this way. But also running 4 tweeters. So if this setup only uses one positive out and one negative out. Would it work running a 4 channel amp or would the ohm load need to be added from each channel
Has it not occurred to you that his amp probably is rated for 4 to 8 (or more) Ohms? This is typical for PA amps, and in such a case his 5 Ohm load is just fine. It doesn't have to be right at a specific number.
is there any changes ? if more speaker to combine in seires ? i mean.. is .. how many watts to change is more speaker to connect ? if more ohms ? more watts ? to amp ?
Hello Clint Henry, By my great mistake, + and - wires of two way speaker connected to the 2 positives of the left and right channels of the tube amp. Likewise, + and - of another speaker connected to the 2 negatives of the left and right channels. The one speaker was working which was connected to the 2 positive of the amp . And the another speaker was not working which was connected to the 2 negatives of the amp. For the first 10 minutes, I didn’t notice the wrong connection by my stupid mistake, then I checked and made the correct connection. After that, both the speakers were working. I am afraid of that : Are these speakers and the crossovers became weak? Will it be in full strength as it should be? Although the speakers are working now, I am much worried by my wrong connection. But , Why one speaker was working and another speaker was not working? Kindly explain in detail. Thank you, Best Regards.
how many channels do you have pushing the speakers I have a 4 channel deck seems to be 3 haven't figured out where that extra green wire is and my car has I don't know maybe 9 speakers and has one in the dash to Mid ranges in each front door and 2 tweeters one in each door in the rear rear doors I have I believe two speakers each mids and Twitter and then I have the back bench two quote on subwoofers I put a new head unit in which I'm really happy with but I want to get on my speakers playing without buying a bunch of equipment
Can I wire together two different watts midrange 4 ohm speakers, my amp can handle 2 ohm I am just wondering cause the one speaker is 250 RMS the other one is 100 RMS.
I'd just wire the first four in series. Then to an connection block. Wire the 2nd bank in series and go to connection block. Not do this piggy back method. The jumper cable between the speakers for serial is nether positive nor negative. An speaker does not have an positive sens it is AC alternating current. Hope that enlightens things.
is it not better to make 2 series of 4 and then you go out of the speakers connect them parallel so you wil have 2 series of 4 and you take the positive of both together and negative of bote togeter
HI I Have 7, speakers that are 2 inches. 20 watts to 80 watts- some. 4 to 8 Homs. that I want to put together in one enclosed box. that I want to power them with my home stereo that is 300 Watts how should I wire them series or Parallel. ?
If you have 4 speakers and you're trying to get more ohms, would you do 2 speakers from pos to pos then pos to neg and carry on just like the 8 speakers to get more ohms or would I just connect the 4 speakers as one channel only, meaning pos all the way through with pos and neg with all neg?
OK. Totally confused. I have in each cabinet the following, two woofers, three mid bass, one mid tweeter and one high tweeter,a total of seven speakers, all 8ohms. How do I wire them so I do not blow up my receiver which is 8ohms.
i got 4 ch amp and 6 speakers i only want to use 2 of the channels how would i do that? i have an idea i think works but would like your opinion. the speakers are 2ohm. my way was run 2 speakers in series than the 3rd parallel to keep it at 2ohms yay or nay? lol
i have 8 mids at 4ohms each and a 2 channel amp that is 2ohm stable. My question is can i run 4 of the speakers wired in series/parallel to one channel of amp and the other 4 speakers the same way to the other channel?
Please help me, I have 2 12" subs in a box that has built in terminals for each speaker. Instead of wiring the speakers parallel can I instead just do the terminals on the box?
ok. .so let's say the amplifier puts out 60 watts @ 5.6 Ohm. .does that mean the 8 speakers will just split that power up equally receiving 7.5 watts each??
hi, i have ibanez soundwave SW100 that can produce 100w. The original speaker is 8ohms 200watt ( according to the suipplier ). it is possible to add one more 8 ohm speaker in parallel ( it has 2 output jack ). Question : can i change the original speaker to 2 x 400watt RMS ?
Main problem i have is i have 4 8ohm speakers and 4 4ohm speakers how would i connect them to a 10watt system thats 8 ohm... Just like yours its a single channel
they say you can wire speakers to revers polarity to keep them in phase so 4 speakers would be positve is positive and neg is neg and the other four speekers should be positive is neg and the neg is posive
It would be fine, because the neg of the first set is letting out pos. To the second set ! because they are in series, here is another magic you can wire 16 speakers of 4 ohm and still end up getting 4 ohms in the end, you would need a very high wattage amp dough
would this be fine if this is the way i want to connect my speakers, 8 ohms sub plus 8 ohms mid in parallel = 4 ohms, 2 8 ohms tweeters in series = 16 ohms then combining the two pairs in parallel connections in sakura av 735 amps?
Pretty sure the amp meter speaks for itself. sure glad you thumbs downed a video that is spot-on and educational simply due to the fact that you don't understand crap about speakers. thanks again douche

what about the phasing?
How do u put them to ur radio. Or will they play just hooked up to the amp
Just used this as a guide to wire some speakers up. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

that's a good explanation in terms of ohms.. may i ask what about the wattage would be?

I end it up fallling sleep with this video. So confusing
Yeah, you definitely need to explain how that negative wire somehow changes to positive. I'm more confused now.
Sorry I wasn't here two years ago. Each group of four on each side is wired in parallel ( + to + ), then the groups of four which is now like one speaker are wired in series minus to plus.
U can not connect positive and negative together🚫❌
@@greatmind3823 sure u can it's called series connection, like getting 3V from two 1.5 batteries inside a remote, you connect + to - and Voltage increases and resistance increases.
Wow tremendously
What’s the advantage to this? More speakers without tanking the ohms?
great video man. could you please advise. i have 3x 8ohm mid range speakers per channel and my amp is 4ohm load is there a way of connecting these safely. many thanks.
Do you have to do this if you’re only using two speakers

On an amp with left and right what chanel do you connect it to
why do you have 11 ohm speakers in the first place??
I have seen and used 2, 4, 8, 16 ohm. but never 11
It's interesting how he looped the speakers together,. Very much like sound system six way speakers 🔈🎶

Which wiring is best wiring for many speaker its series or parallel?
If you wire two different speakers (let's say a 20W RMS and a 100W RMS speaker) of the same impedance in parallel, would you have any issues with the 20W speaker being overpowered?
The power is shared equally so yes it would most likely blow the 20 w since it would be getting half of the total wattage

THOSE SPEAKERS MUST BE 8 OHM
Edit:
That's not how u wire speakers unless ur amp is 5 ohms
OutoftheMatrix any amp can run at 5 ohms.
More confusing
Lacks clarity in explanation.
A diagram will do much better.
