We may need Jim L. to decide this one.
The formula for parallel impedance is: r1 times r2 divided by r1 plus r2.
I've never heard it expressed for three impedances, so I'm not sure if
this formula would still hold true.
If it is correct to extend it, it would be thus: r1 times r2 times r3
divided by r1 plus r2 plus r3. That would be 4 times 4 times 4 (64)
divided by 4 plus 4 plus 4 (12) = 5.333. Most amps would have no real
problem with that.
Dr. Bose? Anyone?
