Use the correct polarity when daisy chaining speakers! When a mistake occurs
in your daisy chain, it can severely impact speaker performance as there will be
audio-cancellation.
The daisy chain options are endless and the setup will depend on the capabilities of
your amplifier. Make sure when daisy chaining speakers that the total impedance is
not lower than the lowest specified impedance of your amplifier. Not following this
rule might result in distorted sound and might even damage your amplifier.
