Daisy Chaining Speakers


Hi, im looking for some advice.

I have a Vonyx  passive pa speaker system and im wondering if i could daisy chain a third speaker to use as an on stage monitor.

Here is a link to the SL10 passive speakers.

Also, if i can chain a third speaker, would it have to be passive or could i use an active speaker?

 

Thanks in advance.

It is safe to daisy chain passive speakers but not very good.

The reason is that speakers are not pure resistors, in addition to ruining the effective damping factor.

Speakers have impedance peaks and valleys, and a peak in one speaker means a depression in output in another.  This will also cause overall output level mismatching.
