[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7366125, member: 576029"] some people need an analogy: think about plumbing. you have a hose with water flowing through it. let's say the water flow is current and the water pressure is voltage, and the hose friction is resistance. let's say a 50 foot section of hose is analogous to a speaker's voice coil resistance. if i put two 50 foot sections end-to-end that is series wiring. and just as the water flow will encounter twice as much resistance, so does electricity. if i put two 50 foot sections side-by-side they are in parallel and it is like doubling the surface area of the hose. the water will flow easier since is has half as much resistance, same as electricity. more on this analogy: [URL="http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/electricity.htm"]Electricity for Boaters - BoatSafe.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
