Pow_22 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 would 4 x 16ohm speakers wired in parallel = a total ohmage of 4ohms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yes, if you have all four in parallel with each other. But I believe it's also common to wire 4 speakers up in pairs: put 2 in parallel (giving an 8ohm load) and the other 2 in parallel (another 8ohms) and then combine these two pairs in series, giving a total 8+8 = 16ohm load. (Or you can put pairs in series and then combine them in parallel; the calculations work out the same). Head exploding yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm not surprised. Brining is a process similar to marination in which meat is soaked in brine before cooking. I thank you. Now, on to the next thing, BWA-HA-HA-HAAAAAH!
