Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Wiring two speakers to one binding post

First, make sure both speakers share the same impedance rating (that is, make sure they have the same ohm rating)

Now, let's see if I remember my math correctly...

Connecting both speakers to your center channel binding posts places them parallel in the circuit, so you will want to take the stated ohm value and divide it by 2. Take that new figure and make sure the receiver can handle it. If so, you should be okay.

For example, two 8 ohm speakers connected to the center channel binding posts will actually have a 4 ohm load on that channel. Similarly, 6 ohm speakers will have a 3 ohm load and so on.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am mistaken.

Shucks. It looks like Sean beat me to it! :-)
