So I gotta question for you guys...say I were building a 3 way with 4 woofers. I've read that woofers in series can have an unforeseen impact on the bass alignment due to slightly varying TS parameters. If I were aiming for an 8 ohm nominal woofer section I can wire it two ways: a pair in series wired in parallel with the other series pair, or a parallel pair then wired in series with a following parallel pair? Which would you pick? Do you think there is any difference?

I would have thought that having 4 woofers together would perhaps help in smoothing out any spread in TS parameters?Originally posted by augerpro
Going the route of two pairs wired in series, this would allow you to use separate filters to each pair if needed. This might be a good thing depending on how the drivers are positioned, relative to the midrange and the floor. You could end up with a 3.5 way.What you screamin' for, every five minutes there's a bomb or something. I'm leavin' Bzzzzzzz!

Wire them in parallel pairs, then series the two pairs....

In a PA setup, you'd do it Thomas's way so, if one speaker burns up, it's the only one that dies. If you do it the other way, two speakers die and you can't tell by listening which one is fried.Comment

From an impedance standpoint alone, it would simplify things. (z*2/2=z)Originally posted by 5th element-Josh

Thanks for the input guys, I'll take it into consideration.Comment

I am considering building an WWMT, using two 8'' or 10'',4 ohm woofers wired in series to give 8 ohms nominal. Bass performance is very important to me(not boomy,but tight,accurate and punchy). :roll: Can anyone give me some serious reasons why this will not be satisfactory,compared to 8 ohm woofers...

Hi, after evaluating my choice for a higher Xover point at around 3K, I decided that a shallow crossover slope and high crossover point such as 3K would not be optimal for an MTM configuration that I simulated previously. So now, I'm looking at an MTMM 2.5 way with a cascaded X-over network with the... -

I want to use a pair of 15" woofers for my 5-way quad-amped speaker project (main speakers are 4-way, with subwoofer makes it 5-way). I will be aligning all driver centers on a vertical line but if I mount both woofers this way, the speaker will be taller (~60" or 5") than I'd like with...
