What is Series and Parallel Connection in Speakers and to which connection everyone goes for?

Answer 1

Series connection is connecting a - to one speaker and a + to another. Then connecting each speaker from + to - together thus combining them. In series a speakers ohms are added. For example you amp is rated to produce as low as 4 ohms per channel. On one channel you have a 4 ohm sub and a 6 ohm speaker connected in series. This will produce a total of 10 ohms which have a lower sound to it but be better for the amp. Parallel connection is exact opposite and is done to decrease ohms thus increasing the amps power per channel. This is very easily done you run power from an amp to one speaker then connect that speakers +/- to another +/-. Be careful by doing this you lower the ohms, don't go too low you will damage your amp. A 4 ohm per channel amp should not run any lower than its recommended ohms as it will burn out. For example you have a 4 ohm amp and you want to parallel two 6 ohm subs. This will produce 3 ohms on that channel, which the amp is only rated for 4 ohms thus this will burn it out. Check your amps rating and your speakers ohms before parallel or series wiring them together. Your safer bet is series wiring, the louder one is parallel wiring. You can parallel and series wire together but make sure you have an even amount for example 2 speakers series together and 2 paralleled together. It is your own opinion on what to do if you want a safer sound series them, a louder sound parallel them.
