Jim Gregory Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If I connect (2) of the 15” drivers “parallel”(KPT 415) to one pair of speaker outlets on the amp and the other (2) set of 15” drivers to the other pair of outlets on the amp. Is this a 4 Ohm load on the amp ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P. Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 What's the listed impedance of the 15" drivers; that's what we need to know. Connecting 2- 8 ohm 15" drivers IN PARALLEL to one speaker output will equal 4 ohms. If the listed impedance of each of the pair of 15" drivers is lower than 8 ohms, the resistance of that channel will be lower than 4 ohms.

Jim Gregory Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 The speakers in the KPT 415 are 8 ohm speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gregory Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Thank you for the response Peter. I understand that connecting (2) 8 ohm drivers together in parallel equals a 4 ohm load. If a do this to each pair of speaker outlets on this amplifier in a bi-wire configuration is it still a 4 ohm load on the amplifier ? Or would it lower ?

Jim Gregory Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Thanks Peter for attempting to assist me. I called PS Audio today and “yes” I can connect a 4ohm load to each pair of speaker outputs. Like if I was configuring it in a bi-wire mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
