Banana plugs will work.It also depends on the gauge of cable used.The method i used is called bridging.Bridging allows for the use of thicker gauges of cables.Your way will definitely work.Thanks for your input.
Hi I will need more info than that,but here is my short answer.Yes ,if your amp can handle 2ohms?Any info on your amp on the internet?If there is no info,then this is my advice...The amp goes from 0 to 10 on volume level? ONLY play the amp at 3.(30%) Pushing the amp pass 3 will damage it over time.I have a NAD 3020i.It can handle that 2ohms.I bought this amp 30 years ago. I've had this 4 speaker set up for 5 years already.I have JPW bookshelf speakers that is 6ohms and the tallboys are 4ohms.Can you find two sets of 8ohms speakers?That would probably be better for your set up.Thanks for commenting.
Sir i have sony speakers original speaker is 120w and i have 2 ch Amplifer sony original but i want some more sound then i buy 2 more speaker of sony which is 100w each original speaker impedance is 6ohm and which i but is also 6 ohm my amplifier is 2600w and output is 120w+120w can i connect these 2 100w speaker with your idea???? Is it alright because i dont want to damage Amplifer
Hallo to you,buddy.The simple answer is to use caution.I would rather wire the speakers in series.It the safer way.I am using a NAD 3020i.It has a switch at the back that can switch between 4-8 ohms.My speakers are 8. Please remember that you can try my method,but always play your amp at maximum level 3-4/10(volume level).No amp should be played past 5.I like using the example of a car.Your car may say 220km/h on the speedometer,but it doesn't mean it can reach 220km/h.If the car could reach the maximum speed,then the engine will be damaged.The same could be said about your amp.Protecting the amp is very important.Thanks for your comment.
I am using NAD 3020i amplifier.Set at 8 ohms.It can be set from 4-8 ohms.All four speakers are 8 ohms as well.Home audio systems are mostly 8 ohms and car audio systems mostly 4 ohms. The joining block we call in my country a "chockblock".Electrical department at hardware store wil stock it
@@trysumstuff7182 Well done actually, but I think his question was refering to whether this is a parallel or series connection ? this seems to be a parallel connection if im understanding correctly ?
You can use a 3 port Wago since its a simple parallel connection, however if youre keen you can solder the cables together so they last and look nicer.
Ok, but you’re assuming the amplifier is rated to perform at the new impedance created when you put another speaker in parallel. So, if (per channel) you have an 8ohm speaker connected and you add another 8ohm speaker in parallel to the same channel the impedance that the amplifier will now see is 4ohms, not 8. An amplifier will output up to double the watts when you halve the impedance, this means there is always a minimum impedance rating the amp can function at. Otherwise you could continue adding speakers making your system louder and louder. Your amplifier is now working twice as hard effectively. Interestingly a doubling of output will only add +2 Db. This is significant with a small system but becomes strange when you get into massive PA systems where a 40k system will only give you 2DB more than a 20k system. So if your amp is rated to work between 8ohms and 16ohms then you can it 2 speakers er channel in parallel and that would mean the amp is seeing 8 ohms which is fine. However, if you put 2 8ohm speakers in parallel , then your amp is going down to 4 ohms, and is working far harder than it was designed to do. This will result in a dead amp.
Thanks for your input.The amp is a NAD 3020i.I have owned this amp from1992.This amp has been set up,like this, for the last five years.It has served me well.Thanks again for your input.Everybody will appreciate your advice.
can you please explain to me, i have 4 speakers connected to my amplifier each have there own spot, now i want to add a subwoofer how do i connect it to it
Remove the PRE-OUT / MAIN-IN jumpers located on the rear of your amplifier. Replace the jumpers with "Y connectors", with the male side connecting to the "PRE-OUT". Connect one of the female sides to the "MAIN IN", and the other female side of the "Y connector" to the subwoofer. (In most cases, RCA cable extensions will also be required.)
so you start your video pointing out the - and the + which is obviuos because we can see it!!!!!!! Then when you show the wiring we cant even see where the wires come from - or + crikey shite!!!!
What happens when you directly connect both wires of the 2 speakers directly into to banana plug of the amp ?

I ask you the impedance of amplifier and ohms needed?
How about the connection?
What' you call that wire connection?

@richardmcknight4147 That is correct.Its in parallel.Thanks for your input.

@@trysumstuff7182 fair enough , no doubt it is capable of running this configuration no prob. You would know about it by now if it couldn’t !
