Just for everyone's info:
- Proper formula for parallel is (Speaker 1 Ohms x Speaker 2 Ohms) / (Speaker 1 Ohms + Speaker 2 Ohms)
- For serial you just sum the impedance of all speakers pet the channel
- .
- Actually the formula for parallel resistive loads in a simple circuit is: 1/RT=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3...
- Also, when dealing with multiple loads in a complicated circuit like the ones you are talking about which incorporate capacitors and inductors (ie. crossovers and filters), it is not as simple as calculating the impedance of the driver. You must now also account for the capacitors and coils.
- Furthermore, in the case of the premium system with the alpine amp, the amplifier has dedicated channels for each of the eight speakers plus the subwoofer. There is no need to hook anything up in series or parallel or do any of these calculations.
