Say you have an amp which produces, into 4 Ohms, 50Wx4 or 200Wx2, and four 4-Ohm speakers each getting 50W is our reference or 0 dB. If you ... ....use 2 4-Ohm speakers, one per bridged pair, the net result is 0 dB because you'll have doubled the output power of the amp (200Wx2) but halved the piston area. ....use 4 4-Ohm speakers, two speakers wired in series on each bridged pair of channels, the net result is +0 dB because you have the same number of speakers and the same power (100Wx2). ....use 2 8-Ohm speakers, one per bridged pair, the net result is -3 dB because you'll have halved the number of speakers and halved the power output of your amp (100Wx2). ....use 4 8-Ohm speakers, one per channel, the net result is -3 dB because you'll have halved the amount of power. ....use 4 8-Ohm speakers, two speakers wired in parallel per bridged channel, the net result is +3 dB because you'll have doubled the piston area (number of speakers) but kept the power output the same (200Wx2). So yes, it *can* matter...if you play your cards right. -dan |
