SERIES SPEAKERS ON ONE AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER
WE RECOMMEND ONE OF TWO METHODS:
Method 1 (Preferred): IF your amp/receiver has both A
and B speaker terminals, connect one pair to A and one
to B. Depending on your amp/receiver’s capability you
can then either play Speaker pairs A and B together or
separately or Speaker pair A OR Speaker pair B only.
and B speaker terminals, connect one pair to A and one
to B. Depending on your amp/receiver’s capability you
can then either play Speaker pairs A and B together or
separately or Speaker pair A OR Speaker pair B only.
Method 2: IF YOUR AMP/RECEIVER IS RATED TO 4
OHMS OR LESS make a parallel wire connection as shown
from the amp/receiver’s right and left speaker terminals.
Your amp/receiver may output more power to the
speakers this way (check amp/receiver specifications).

OTHER POSSIBLE SPEAKER CONNECTION OPTIONS:
Series Wiring of Two Pairs to one Amp/Receiver:
Instead
of a parallel connection using a series connection as
shown has the amp/receiver work at 16 Ohms but this cuts
the power going to each of the speakers usually in half.

If you are using a surround (7/9/11 channel) receiver
that receiver MIGHT allow connection of an additional
pair of speakers to unused surround channels for use in a
different listening area or may have a “Zone 2” capability
to connect those speakers (check your receiver manual)

Using an outboard speaker switcher:
Several types of
available selector boxes allow hookup of multiple pairs
of speakers to one amplifier/receiver and allow switching
between them. Some models allow simultaneous play of two
pairs of speakers. (see your audio dealer for availability).
