Typical Speaker Wiring Diagrams

Two (2) Speakers, 8 Ohms each

Three (3) Speakers, 8 Ohms each

Four (4) Speakers, 4 or 8 Ohms each

Two (2) Internal/External Hook-up

Fusing External Speakers:
Speakers that are accessible from outside the building should have a 2.5A fuse placed in series with the speaker leads so that any attempt to short the speaker leads will blow the fuse on that speaker while other speakers will continue to operate.
