‹ audio 2009 TAS awards This Old System, what would you change out first: Speakers or amplification? ›

To drive multiple speakers from a single amplifier output, you need a device (for each speaker) called an "L-pad." This adjusts the level of each speaker while presenting a constant impedance to the power amplifier. If you connect multiple speakers to a single amplifier channel, the total impedance as seen by the amplifier will change dramatically. Whether that impedance increases or decreases with additional speakers depends on whether you wire the speakers in series or in parallel. If you use L-pads, you don't need to worry.
I must ask why you want to run eight speakers off two amplifier channels.
