oldbuckster Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 What receiver do you have, or amp, whatever your using to power your speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Is it a Marantz sr8200 that you have? If so, you have outputs for each speaker on the back of the receiver. It is a 6.1 receiver, correct? Whatever you do, DO NOT hook up more than one speaker per speaker output! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 If I understand you correctly, you want to put 3 speakers on on the left channel, and 3 speakers on the right channel. With out getting into the whys, shouldn'ts, and for How long do you need to do this for, to answer your question, you will need to consider the following. You need to determine each of the speakers impedance, and determine the load your amp wants to see. if you have three 8 ohm speakers the load will be about 2.6 ohms. If you have three 4 ohm speakers, the load will be 1.3 ohms. Most amps want to see a 4 to 8 ohm load, few can drive a 2 ohm load. If your speaker load and amp don't match, you will need an autoformer. The autoformer will help give your amp the corrct load. http://www.edcorusa.com/transformers/em/em_auto.htm There a various models. A 300 watt model will cost 52 bucks. You will need 2 of them. You can buy a smaller one and save some money if you play a t moderate levels. Or you can spend a little more and buy a larger one. if you play at loud volume levels. If you need more info on how to connect it, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
