Dabsbhatti Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi All I've got a Honeywell galaxy g2 44+. The system served me well for many years but was decommissioned for about a year due to building work (when I say decommissioned I mean the builders decided to remove power and unplug it all). Anyway I've got it all installed again, I want to check a couple of things please:- I previously had just an Elmdene internal speaker (16ohm) connected to the panel output 1002 (SPK driver) and to +ve AUX. Now I want to connect a second speaker as well as the Elmdene. I have a CQR Alto Extension speaker (Piezo) rated at impedence better than 16ohms. Can I wire the two speakers in series? The instructions online for the Alto says it doesn't require a +12v power supply. I can put a resistor on parallel with the alto to ensure total resistance of the series circuit is approx. 16-20ohms. How does the Alto piezo work if it doesn't need +12v connected. Sorry I accidently posted that without finishing. Also I've got zone 1016 set as a spare and the system is telling me RF fail for zone 1016, not sure what is causing that? I haven't got any RF peripherals configured (but I did have in the old programming when the zone was in use). I thought "spare" disabled RF supervison, resistance checking on the zone etc. Any advise appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If you go I to that zone is a serial number still present? Delete it, think it was with b or * key can't remember lol Alto won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabsbhatti Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Ok thx. If I scrap the Alto then, can I put two elmdene 16ohm in parallel for a total of 8ohm. or is there any other 2nd extension speaker I can use ( I need a low profile one if possible, the other half doesn't want a chunky eldene one).

Dabsbhatti Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks Muppet mod, serial number was present and removed as suggested - All working ok now. You may be interested to know the Alto and Elden working fine as internal speakers connected in series on output 1002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
