AC30CC2 2x16ohm parallel wiring

[dudiluty]

Hi there.

i own a AC30CC2 with the wharfdale(8ohm each) speakers. I can get 2 Greenbacks for a low price but they are 16ohm each so i have to wire them in parallel and set the amps switch to 8ohm right ?

but.. how do i wire the speakers in parallel in this amp? because the are two + and two - cables coming out of the amp it self... anyone can draw me a scheme ?

thanks!

Speaker A +
speaker A -

Speaker B +
Speaker B -

Wire the positive wire to speaker A +
Jumper A+ to B+

Repeat for negative

Thanks. But isn’t that wiring in series? And i have 4 cables.. 2x + & -

Oh sorry no it’s in parallel then.

you mean like this?:

but what about the other + and - wire ?

'Repeat for Negative' means
Wire the negative wire to speaker A -
Jumper A- to B-

Yes that

Yeah just like the image i have send before(link). But then i still have 2 remaining speaker wires from te amp..

Or am i getting it wrong ?

[dudiluty]

I have 2 negatives and 2 positives coming out of the amp

where do the other - and + go..

So when you had the two eighta in
what did you have the ohms set to?

4 or 8 or 16

16ohm with the stock 2x 8ohm speakers.
(ac30cc2 is stock wired in series)

now i have 2x 16ohm speakers.

Then tape those wires off and jump as directed They will appear as a single 8 ohm speaker to your amp

IF having both connected to two 8 ohm speakers equals 16 ohm
Then those are in series
Not what you want
Your amp doesn't have a 32 ohm setting

I found this.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/l26jdkka12...%2023.jpg?dl=0

can this be helpful ?

as i look at the schematic it seems to me that the 2 middle wires are just a jumper wiring to make the series. So i can ditch those two without problems i think? And use the outer 2(pos + neg) and then wire the 2 in parallel to get 8 ohm total with the 2 16ohm speakers.

right ? Or am i seeing this wrong ?

I mean like this:

Will this work without problems and volume/tone loss ?

Did you read my post?

Tape up the twp extra wires individually
not to each other
Not to each other

Tuck them up somewhere they can't be seen
Dont cut them out you may want to do something else later

Or
Just take it to a local tech let them swap it out
