For home audio arrays, it is often desirable to keep the impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
For DVC drivers with 8-ohm voice coils, it is typical to wire each driver in series, and parallel
the drivers:
This results in a final 8-ohm load, assuming each driver has dual 8-ohm voice coils. While
this may not "maximize" power output of an amp optimized for a 4-ohm load, it will result in
more linear output for the same power input as a single driver.
For additional driver connections, use combinations of the above wiring diagrams. For 4 DVC
drivers (each with dual 8 ohm voice coils), wire all drivers in parallel together to create a
nominal 1-ohm load. Using the same drivers, wiring each driver's voice coils in series and
paralleling each driver will result in an effective 4-ohm load.
