IMPEDANCE GUIDELINES
Use the impedance ratings on your amplifier and speakers
to determine if a particular combination of speakers
is appropriate for your amplifier. NOTe: All SWR ® bass
speaker enclosures (and most others) are wired in parallel
reduces the amplifier's maximum power output capability.
Notice that different combinations of speaker impedances can
equal the same total impedance load. If speaker impedances
are the same in a group, each speaker will receive equal
power from your amplifier. However, if speaker impedances
are not the same, speakers with the lowest impedances will
receive the most power. For example, if 4Ω and 8Ω speakers
are connected in a group, the 4Ω speaker will draw double the
power and may be louder than the 8Ω speaker. Take this into
consideration when calculating power handling capacities
and when positioning your bass speaker enclosures.

Impedance Guidelines apply only
to parallel speaker connections.
This Illustration shows the total
impedance loads of various
combinations
of
speakers
connected in parallel. Ideally,
you will want to connect your
amplifier to speakers with a
total impedance load equal to
the minimum impedance rating
of your amplifier.
Operating
below the minimum impedance
rating can easily overheat the
amplifier and cause damage.
conversely, operating above
the minimum impedance rating
