I have as of 3 weeks ago got my new PRS MT-15 amp and want to run 2 separate 8 ohm speakers into it but that would be 16 ohms total wired in Series and the amp has only 1-16 ohm jack,and 2 8 ohm jacks for Parallel,so I contacted a friend of mine that builds amps for himself and some of his friends and asked him if he could let me know how to make/wire a Series box up,so he sent me an email with a basic series wiring picture with 2 speakers,and it looked easy.
Basically its just 1 wire that goes from one of the jacks I plan to use for the speaker jacks to the other jack going to be used for the 2nd speaker,then 1 wire from the ground of 1 of the jacks mentioned to the main/3rd jacks ground used for the main jack that goes into the amps 16 ohm jack,then 1 wire from the opposite speaker jacks Hot lug to the main jack used for the amps connection..that should be it,it makes a loop.
I wired it like this,series wiring using the 2 jacks in place of actual speakers and only got sound out of 1 speaker.
I have re-done this 4 times now with other new jacks and wires and still the same..anybody here have knowledge how to make a simple Series box ? I am using an effects pedal box for the enclosure and 3 1/4" switchcraft jacks with speaker wire I have used in the past that is good..any info greatly appreciated..I do not want to make a 2-12" cabinet,just 2 single speakers in home made boxes.
