About Impedance

When you connect two speakers to a single amplifier channel, you are connecting them in parallel. Two

speakers connected in parallel do not have the same impedance as a single speaker, and knowing the

combined impedance is very important when selecting an amplifier. You need to select an amplifier that

will operate at the combined impedance and produce enough power for both speakers. Be certain the

amplifier you wish to use will match this requirement. To figure out how much power you need, just add

the program power of the two speakers. The drawing below shows the combined impedance for two 8

ohm speakers connected in parallel, and their combined power requirements.
