Audio Systems: three 8 ohms speakers, parallel combinations, 8 ohm speakers


Question
If 3 (8 ohm speakers) were (daisy chain) what ohm would that present to the amplifier,my questions is what ohms is three 8ohm speakers chained together equal in impedance?

Answer
I don't know what you mean by daisy chain.

Are you hooking them in series or parallel?

If in series the impedance would be 24 ohms. If in parallel the resulting impedance would be 8/3 = 2.7 ohms.

But, you can also connect them in series parallel combinations.

Take a look at this page for some ideas of various connections:
