wire two 8 ohm speakers in a parallel circuit!
No. Two 16 ohm speakers connected together are either 32 ohms, if wired in series, or 8 ohms, if wired in parallel. You can, however, connect four 16 ohm speakers in series-parallel to get 16 ohms, with four times the power handling capacity of just one.
I presume you mean wired to four ohms amplifier output: In this case, pair the two speakers in in series which will make the give you 18 Ohms and then join the two pairs in parallel which will result in approximately eight ohms. Then connect then in that format to the amplifier. It will work for you.
yes you can you will have to wire up the speakers in parallel because with 8ohm it gives too much resistance and the amp will produce unwanted sound i.e. low volume.
Typical car stereos run speakers at 4 to 8 ohms, so I would wire the two 16 ohm speakers in parallel to get a net 8 ohms. Anything over that would be a little much for a car stereo. You don't need to drive it that hard.
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.
You can wire and amp down to 0.3 ohms by decreasing its windings.
it has to do with ohms and the gauge of the wire. if you have a low ohms then you can't use a small thin wire. because the more ohms the more resistance. if you have a low omhs on a thin wire it can cause the wire to heat up. posibly catch fire.
No, you can't get 8 ohms with 4 16-ohm speakers. Here are the possible wirings: +o-+o-+o-+o- all in series: 64 ohms |+o-+o-| |+o-+o-| series parallel: 16 ohms |+o-| |+o-| |+o-| |+o-| all in parallel: 4 ohms .... Well in the conventional way it is not possible. But think of the speakers as load attached to the secondary of some transformer while the primary coil is attached to the amplifier block before (a tuned amplifier type). If we adjust the turns ratio as n = primary:secondary = Sqrt(2):1, then the eefective load on the amplifier would be Reff = n^2*Rp. Now as pointed in the parallel connection, Rp = 4. So, Reff = 8 Ohm.
The conductance of a wire is the reciprocal of its resistance. Therefore, for a wire with a resistance of 400 ohms, the conductance would be 1/400 siemens, or 0.0025 siemens.
To wire multiple speakers together for optimal sound quality and performance, you should connect them in parallel or series depending on the impedance of the speakers and the amplifier. Make sure to match the impedance levels and use high-quality speaker wire to minimize signal loss. Additionally, consider using a speaker selector switch or a dedicated amplifier for each set of speakers to ensure balanced sound distribution.
Primary (Black and Orange wires) 0.28 to 0.38 Ohms (almost a short). Secondary (Spark plug wire to spark plug wire) 4700 to 7100 Ohms.
