ARRAY WIRING / AMP CONNECTION
CONNECTING ALL SPEAKERS IN AN ARRAY TO ONE AMPLIFIER
The Klipsch KI-398-B-RGL speaker’s rated Nominal Impedance
is 8 Ohms. One amplifier can be connected to power up to
three speakers wired in PARALLEL IF that amplifier is
capable of 2 Ohms impedance. Wiring Example 1 shows
three KI-398-B-RGL’s wired in PARALLEL to one amplifier.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS IN AN ARRAY TO TWO SEPARATE AMPLIFIERS
Wiring Example 2 shows three KI-398-B-RGL’s in a 6 speaker array wired in
PARALLEL to one amp and the remaining three speakers in the array wired
in PARALLEL to a second amp. This wiring method, with equal speaker
numbers on each amp, allows the maximum number of 8 Ohm speakers on
each 2 Ohm capable amp.

NOTE: A four or five speaker array would still
require three KI-398-B-RGL 8 Ohm speakers
wired in PARALLEL to one 2 Ohm capable amp
and the remaining one or two speakers wired
in PARALLEL to a second amp.
