Why its important to understand "Ohm" before you connect speakers to your amp ?


1) Ohm mismatch can damage your spaeker or amp , depending on the mismatch .

2) Ohm mismatch will produce weak output and sometimes will end up giving you a poor tone .



Understanding OHM 

Remember these rules and that's all there is to learn towards connecting speakers and amp properly .

1) When speakers are connected parallel , Ohm value decreases by half .

2) When speakers are  connected in series , ohm value multiplies by two .


Calculation 

1) Find out the OHM value of the speaker . Mostly it will printed next to the input socket . else you can check out the product mannual .

2) Find out the minumun OHM value your amp can drive . You can find this printed near the amp output , else you can cheack the product mannual .

3) Now using the OHM rules , wire your speakers to match your amp specification .
