Hi,

I know that when speakers are paralleled their impedances are reduced, in series they are added. What happens to the wattage for the spearker ? When resistors are paralleled the wattage increases, is this the same for speakers? My grandpa found 6 NIB Jensen c6-tx hi-fi dual cone speakers, 8 ohms, 7.5 watts. Can 3 of these be paralleled to get 2 ohms at 22.5 watts? or put in series to get more wattage? I would like to add them to my 1934 mystery amp setup. pp 2a5's ~15-20 watts. Also does anyone have info on these speakers? or a value? 6 NIB with documentation.

Thanks
Ian

Wattage adds up. Whether you series, parallel or series-parallel them.

Use google to find more data and value for those.

Also, make sure your amp supports 2 ohms on its output.

Thanks for the info.
I have no idea what my amp's output is. There is a 500ohm, and two mysteries. <2ohms dc resistance +/- .3 ohms from each other. If anyone would like to help identifiy this amp I would greatly appreciate it. I restored it, and drew a schematic. If anyone would like to see photos of either just ask. It uses all 2.5v tubes. There are no markings on it what so ever.
