TNRabbit Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 What amp/AVR are you using? Why both together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNRabbit Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Why not try it both ways? You should be ok in parallel but some receivers have issue with 4 ohms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The response will be wacked if you use them in series... They would need to run in parallel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Whare are you hoping to achieve by running two channels at once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Whare are you hoping to achieve by running two channels at once?......and why two different center channels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Use your KLF-C7 and sell your RC-3II. I can think of absolutely no one that would recommend running two center speakers that are completely different from each other using a receiver's single center speaker output.

yamaklipschman9.1 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 what if i use the pre out for center and use another amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 what if i use the pre out for center and use another amp? As far as getting both speakers to make sound, running both speakers in parallel should be just fine and represent a 4ohm nominal load to the amplifiers. As far as I know, there's no insanely low impedance dips with either speaker in question (but no guarantees). However, getting both speakers to play center channel information at the same time isn't the only issue being brought up here. There are a lot of reasons why this can decrease the sound quality....even moreso when using two totally different speakers. Are you trying to get more output? more coverage? balanced sound stage? something other than the typical reasons above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
