Loading amplifiers
Stereo / Parallel modes
Bridged mode
Matching amps to speakers
, Loading: connecting a speaker “load” to an amp.
Most speakers have an impedance of 8Ω
Connecting two 8Ω speakers linked together (parallel
connection) yields a 4Ω load.
Amplifiers need a minimum load in order to work
correctly. If we connect too many speakers, the load
becomes too low and we risk damaging the
amplifier.
Most amplifiers have a minimum of 2Ω or 4Ω.
