Speaker polarity
and impedance
Always check speaker
polarity when wiring your system, as
improper polarity will greatly reduce sound
performance.
Below are many
examples of speaker wiring configurations. |

You can
change the impendence or (resistance), to
the car stereo amplifier by changing the way
your woofers are wired either series,
parallel or series.
parallel. |

INCORRECTLY WIRED
Notice that if all three woofers
are wired with correct polarity, the
middle woofer will be out of
phase. Because all of the woofers will
be moving the same direction, speaker
performance and bass responds is dramatically reduced. |
 |
CORRECTLY WIRED
The middle woofer
should be wired in reverse polarity so that
it moves the same direction as the
others, doing so will place all speakers
in phase |
|
The middle woofers in each of these
examples are wired in reverse
polarity. This is the correct wiring
example for this type set-up and applies
to any speaker..
