Series, Parallel, and Series-Parallel Speaker WiringWhen wiring speakers with multiple voice coils, it is important to understand theprocess for series and parallel wiring. Depending on what method you use it will present adifferent load to the amplifier. This process is the same for resistors as well as voice coils inelectrical circuits. When wiring speaker voice coils, it is very important to observe the polarityin both series and parallel wiring of speakers.Series Wiring:When wiring two or more voice coils in series, you will connect the positive connectionof the first voice coil to the positive connection of the amplifier. The negative voice coilconnection will attach to the positive connection of the second voice coil. If you are only wiringtwo voice coils in series, the negative connection on the second voice coil will then connect tothe negative connection of the amplifier. If you are using more than two voice coils, you willrepeat the process for each additional voice coil by connecting the negative voice coilconnections to the positive voice coil connection of the next speaker and so on.Examples:One dual coil speaker1two single coil speakers

When you wire voice coils in series, you will simply add the resistance of all the voicecoils to know what the impedance will be at the amplifier. The coils do not need to be thesame impedance but it will affect how much power each speaker receives from the amplifier. Itis never recommended in car audio to mix impedances of speakers connected to the sameterminals.Examples:Two 4 ohm voice coils wired in series, 4 Ω 4 Ω 8 ΩTwo 8 ohm voice coils wired in series, 8 Ω 8 Ω 16 ΩThree 4 ohm voice coils wired in series, 4 Ω 4 Ω 4 Ω 12 ΩThree 8 ohm voice coils wired in series, 8 Ω 8 Ω 8 Ω 24 ΩParallel wiring:Parallel wiring is very simple. You will simply wire all the positive voice coil connectionsto the amplifier’s positive terminal and wire all of the negative voice coil connections to thenegative amplifier terminal.Example:One dual voice coil speaker2Two dual voice coil speakers

If all of the coils are the same impedance, it is very easy to calculate final impedance.You will take the impedance of the voice coils and divide by the number of voice coils. Thisformula only works if all the voice coils are the same impedance.Examples:Two 4 Ω voice coils in parallel, 4 Ω 2 coils 2 ΩTwo 8 Ω voice coils in parallel, 8 Ω 2 coils 4 ΩFour 4 Ω voice coils in parallel, 4 Ω 4 coils 1 ΩFour 8 Ω voice coils in parallel, 8 Ω 4 coils 2 ΩIf your speakers are of different impedances, there is a mathematical formula todetermine the total parallel impedance. This method does not work correctly for audiobecause not all the speakers will get the same power even if the load is correct for the amplifierused.Formula:Where R1, R2, and R3 are individual coil impedances and Rtotal is the final impedanceload at the amplifier.Example:You have two 4 Ω speakers and an 8 Ω speaker1/4 Ω 1/4 Ω 1/8 Ω 1/Rtotal .25 .25 .125 1/Rtotal 3

.625 1/Rtotal 1.6 ΩYou could use series-parallel to get a 4 Ω final impedance for the amplifier, but the 8 Ωspeaker will get double the power of the two 4 Ω speakers. There is no way to balance thepower to all three speakers when powered by the same amplifier output.Series/Parallel Wiring:There are many times when you have to use a combination of both series and parallelwiring to get the impedance you desire. This can be a bit harder to calculate. We are going toassume all of the coils are of the same impedance to make this much easier. We are also goingto assume we have an even number of voice coils. With single voice coil speakers, you will haveto have a minimum of 4 speakers to use this method. If all four speakers have the sameimpedance, with series-parallel wiring, the final impedance will be the same as the impedanceof a single speaker. You will simply series two sets of two speakers and then wire one group oftwo speakers in parallel with the other group of two speakers. For multiple dual voice coilspeakers, you will need to decide which way you will wire the coils on each speaker, eitherseries or parallel. You will take that final impedance of the woofers two coils and use the othermethod, series or parallel, to calculate the final impedance to the amplifier.Example:Four single voice coil speakers4two dual voice coils speakers

Example:Four single coil 4 Ω speakers or two dual voice coil 4 Ω speakers will calculate exactly the sameway with a series-parallel combination.4 Ω 4 Ω // 4 Ω 4 Ω 4 Ω 8 Ω // 8 Ω 4 Ω5

Series-Parallel Circuits If we combined a series circuit with a parallel circuit we produce a Series-Parallel circuit. R1 and R2 are in parallel and R3 is in series with R1 ǁ R2. The double lines between R1 and R2 is a symbol for parallel. We need to calculate R1 ǁ R2 first before adding R3.
