Speaker series wiring - Blu-ray Forum

Rustmonkey · 08-01-2008, 01:52 PM

Hey all, just a quick question - if I wire a set of speakers in a series (to keep my load within the acceptable limits for my avr), are the speakers in the series in phase with eachother? I've been researching this and can't find a deffinitive answer... (I'm considering running two speakers up front in a series for my center as opposed to a single center channel).

THANKS

If you wire them properly....YES
Follow this ....... + (from receiver) to + (on your first speaker) - (from your first speaker) to + (on your second speaker) - (on second speaker) to - (on your receiver)
That will have them firing in proper phase with each other.
Im assuming you have two 4 ohm speakers you want to use and this will be appx. 8 ohms showing at the receiver.
