Connecting Multiple Speakers or Subwoofers In Parallel
You can connect multiple speakers or subwoofers with the same impedance rating, model number, and type
together in parallel. When connecting speakers of the same impedance rating in parallel, you must calculate
the total impedance by dividing the common impedance rating by the total number of speakers connected in
parallel. For example, if you connect two 4 Ohm speakers in parallel, the resulting impedance is 2 Ohm (4 ÷ 2=
2).
NOTICE
You must not connect a series of speakers with an impedance less than 2 Ohm to a single channel on the
amplifier. Do not connect more than two speakers in parallel per zone output.
1 Connect speaker wire to the positive terminal for a channel or zone on the amplifier.
2 Connect speaker wire to the positive terminal on each speaker.
3 Connect the wires from the positive terminals on both speakers in the channel or zone to the wire connected
to the positive terminal on the amplifier.
4 Repeat this procedure for the negative terminal on the amplifier and both speakers in the channel or zone.
