•   DO  NOT  connect  a  speaker  load  with  a  total 
impedance below the minimum rating of your
amplifier to prevent damage to your equipment.
•    DO  NOT  connect  speaker(s)  with  a  total  power 
handling capacity that is less than the power output
rating of your amplifier to prevent damage to your
equipment.
•   ALWAYS  switch  your  system  power  OFF  before 
connecting or disconnecting speakers.
•   ONLY  use  unshielded  speaker  cable  of  18  gauge  or 
heavier (16 or 14 gauge) for speaker connections.
Shielded instrument cable WILL NOT work and may
damage your equipment.
•   ONLY  connect  one  amplifier  to  each  speaker  load. 
Two amplifiers connected to a single load WILL NOT
work and may damage your equipment.
Use the impedance and power ratings on your amplifier
and speakers to determine if a particular combination
of speakers is appropriate for your amplifier. NOTE: All SWR®
speaker enclosures, as well as most others, will be connected
in parallel (NOT series) when linked (daisy-chained) together.
Therefore, these guidelines apply only to parallel speaker
configurations.
The speaker illustration gives you the total impedance
load calculations for various speaker impedance
combinations (=ohms). The ideal speaker load (total
impedance) is equal to the minimum impedance
rating of your amplifier. Operating below the
amp's minimum impedance rating can overheat
your amplifier and cause damage. Operating above
the amp's minimum impedance rating, while safe,
reduces the amplifier’s maximum power output.
Something else to consider: You can obtain the
same group total impedance load from different
combinations of speaker impedances (see
illustration). If each speaker in a group has the
same impedance, each speaker will receive the same
amount of power from your amplifier. However, if
impedances are not all equal, the lowest impedance
speakers will get the most power. For example, if you
connect  an  8Ω  and  a  16Ω  speaker  to  an  amp  output 
of 30 watts,  the  8–ohm  speaker  will receive about 20 of 
those watts (and be twice as loud as the 16-ohm speaker).
Take this into consideration when calculating power handling
capacities and when positioning your speaker enclosures.
