Designing a low impedance system
Impedance (measured in ohms, Ω) tells us how much resistance a speaker gives to the
amplifier. When connecting multiple speakers to one amplifier channel, the total impedance
depends on how you wire them: in series or in parallel.
Series (In Line) Connection
In a series connection, you connect the positive of one speaker to the negative of the
next. The total impedance is the sum of all speaker impedances.
Formula: Total Impedance (Z) = Z₁ + Z₂ + ... + Zn
Example:
Two 8Ω speakers in series:
8Ω + 8Ω = 16Ω total impedance
Note: Use series wiring if your amplifier supports higher impedance or you want to reduce the
power output slightly.
Parallel Connection
In a parallel connection, all speaker positives go to the amp’s positive, and all negatives
to the amp’s negative. The total impedance decreases and is calculated using:
Formula (for 2 speakers):
1 / Z_total = 1 / Z₁ + 1 / Z₂ , then flip the result.
Example:
Two 8Ω speakers in parallel:
1 / Z = 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 → Z = 4Ω total impedance
Note: Use parallel wiring if your amplifier supports a 4Ω load - this gives more
power but also puts more strain on the amplifier.
Recommended cable gage based on impedance and maximum distance:
