Got this vintage Saphire radion and want to wire it to each side speaker; it was originally wired to just one speaker.
I'm thinking that spliting each of the two wires will do the trick ? If not I'd like to know. And, can this radio be wired to an amp ? Attached image(s) |

I'd wire them the bottom way, in series, to make a 12 ohm load. If they are 6 ohms each, wiring them in parellel would make a 3 ohm load, which would probably fry the amp.
Lower ohm speakers will make the amp work harder, even though that seems backwards. It helps to think about how sometimes they will say an amp is "2 ohm stable" - that one probably isn't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
