Is there a wiring method that I can use to keep three speakers at the same impedance? I see diagrams that show 4 speakers using the series/parallel method that stay at the same impedance but can that be done with three speakers.
Just some insight-- I'm wiring a cluster of three speakers above center stage and want to run all three speakers off of one amp in bridged mono mode (due to budget constraints)
Thanks!
You can run series/parallel with 3 speakers but the series speakers motor assembly will not perform as the parallel ones will. It's complicated to explain but I would simply rather leave the other speaker disconnected than to deal with the lack of performance from the lazy driver.
In car audio you usually see the woofers Parallel as to get the strongest motor assembly available for pumping bass.
On another side of the coin, if the cabs show 8 ohms each, you can parallel them to mono, but not BRIDGED mono. Just like putting 3 wedge monitors on one side of an amp. Everything works good until some wise guy comes along and bridges the amp. Then it's running at 1.3 ohms and by the end of the night, you could fry an egg on the amp. IF it makes it to the end of the night.
