speaker to the mix would complicate it further, producing either a 24-ohm or 2.67-ohm overall impedance. Note that very few amplifiers are stable under 2-ohm loads, so that is usually not an option. On the other hand, with a constant voltage system, you consider first the RMS output wattage of the amplifier.
SPEAKER BREAK-IN In the same way that a new car requires a break-in period before it can be safely operated at high engine RPMs, speakers require a break-in period before they can be safely operated at maximum volume levels. Proper break-in ensures that the moving parts of the speaker (the cone and cone suspension) are allowed to flex and soften, losing the initial stiffness and allowing the speaker to move through its full intended range.

should be identical. This keeps the impedance on each channel the same, which ensures that the volume levels, frequency ranges, and tonalities are identical. Any excess wire should be snaked back and forth, not coiled, to avoid creating an inductor/antenna for stray radio signals.
The speakers should be mounted in a covered location, protected from direct rainfall. 6.5-Inch Speaker Installation (21645 only) Perform the following steps to mount and connect the 6.5-inch version of these outdoor speakers.
