Wiring Configurations<br />
Three configurations for connecting speakers to an amplifier<br />
are Series, Parallel, and Series-Parallel wiring. A Series configuration<br />
consists of two or more speakers wired in an string<br />
(end to end). A Parallel configuration consists of two or more<br />
speakers wired with the common terminals connected across<br />
each other. A Series-Parallel configuration is a combination of<br />
both methods. Determine which method will be compatible<br />
with your amplifier.<br />
