Double Advent wiring question...


Hi

Want to run Double Advent 1 stack in parallel.

Just want to Confirm...

From my Carver amp...

I  can run a speaker run as usual to each speaker and then from 1st set of left channel speaker just run from + to + and - to - negative of second set of speakers so I am running a long jumper.  And do the same for right channel of course.
This should give me a parallel wiring and now amp will be pushing 4ohms..

Thx...

This is too funny....

All I wanted was an answer to a wiring question.

Now I am suggesting my project.

Now it's a money thing.....etc....etc....

Folks please stop it.

Thx.....


If people agreed with you and were ecstatic about your stacked double Advents, your attitude would be different for sure. Sometimes you have to take a few hits along the way, but this is part of posting here. You can always ask the administrators to remove your post ( I have in the past ). Remember, this hifi thing brings out the best, and the worst in people, although, no one is intentionally being mean, just being honest. It is never personal, these opinions of ours, based on our own experiences. YMMV. Enjoy ! MrD.

OK, here's to your original question. Yes, you can make a single run of speaker wire to each speaker and then add jumpers to go from the + of that speaker to the + of the stacked speaker, same for minus terminals (actually Advents labeled their terminals 8 ohm and 0 ohm IIRC). That is the appropriate way to do it. The reason I suggested running 14 gauge wire is that I assumed you were making a single run and using jumpers. I would make the jumpers out of high quality speaker wire (14 gauge is fine) and terminate the ends with spades. If you are going to experiment with turning the top speakers around make sure that your jumpers are long enough.  I would also suggest terminating the end of the long wire run with spades at the speaker end. I realize that this next point is outside the scope of your question but I would seriously consider replacing the speaker terminals in your amp with good quality 5-way binding posts. On most amps this isn't too difficult.
