Rather than showing total ignorance, I got a friend to come over
and help with wiring up my line array of 6. The SS amp is 30w/side
amd the speaks are those 50 cent Pioner specials from PE.


After some calculating and online research he got
what was a good and acceptable output ie all the speakers
matched in volume by wiring 3 pairs of 2 in series and then
connecting those pairs in parallel.


I have only one sample of this config put together and never
play at much volume.


But I'm in here checking to make sure (not being electronically
sophisticated) that we have as much output for the line as
possible (5.3 ohm) with no further design elements added.


Also a note I will put in General Forum is: Will one of the authorities here read and evaluate the new DIY book called Speakerbuilding 201 by Ray Alden?


A chapter is being previewed in _audioXpress_ whose October
issue I just received.

You have 5.3 ohms, which is likely the best arrangement.

I'll read it if Ed Dell asks me to review it.

Bill, check me out on this too:


I'll be clipping the 8 Line Array together to test.


Should be 2 pairs of 4 serial connected in parallel
_n'cest pas?_


Currently I have the 3 pairs of 2.
