Series is OK for this use - might even be better than parallel

And if you blow it up, you can just get a new amp.

That would present a 2 ohm load to the amp and isn't recommended. Keith always says that it "depends" on a lot of factors. His setup will be fine, if he's scared he can wire the two speakers in series and it will only see 8ohms. This is a good, innovative solution. And has the extra bonus of having a 'knob' to turn. Wire the speakers +- / to +- At first....and experiment with setup. And after thinking about it for a second, I doubt This will work but you could also try +- / -+ I think that would be out of phase and create a 'suck out' effect. Missing frequencies or an unpleasant effect. But it WILL simulate 8ohm to the amp. Not at all bad.... |

Can you tell me what’s the point of those four binding posts instead of two on a mono block? What real purpose does it do? I don’t know or think I can hear a difference either way but why would emotiva put them there? A mono amp with two sets of binding posts is a car audio design to make it easy for connecting two speakers in parallel to the amp. The binding posts are connected together inside the amp so it doesn't matter which you use - one pos, one neg, or both. No difference electrically. The other reason it might be like that is it was a stereo amp chassis that just got repurposed and it;'s cheaper just to leave them there than to redesign and buy new metal. |
