Connections series and parallel, combined
Depending on your installation amplifier(s), subwoofer(s), various combinations of series
and parallel circuits can be used. The real advantage of doing this is to have a system with
available power, but at the same time to ensure the system impedance load is optimum for
the amplifier(s) used.

Examples and configurations for various multiples of subwoofers:
2 subwoofers 21 V2 in parallel. Z = 2Ω
2 subwoofers in series. Z = 8Ω
Adjustment of low cut off frequency
The cut off frequency of a subwoofer is normally in the region of 60 to 100Hz. This is always
dependent on the particular installation and listening position. A frequency of 80Hz is a good
compromise for effective bass compared to listening quality.
