should i wire the transfomers in series or parallel?

i'll be running 4 transformers, each of which will be hooked up to 1 12" tube.

 

I always prefer parallel since it is less prone to mistakes if something does happen.

 

It has to be wired in parallel. Otherwise you'll have 12 volts worth of voltage drop on a 12v line. The 12v required by each will only get a portion of that. If their are 3 transformers on one line, wired in series, then they will each only get 4v. Likewise if their are 4 transformers on one line, wired in series, they will only get 3v each. Get it?
It's simpe electrical.
Wire them in parallel. I did!

 

^^ true, didnt think of that.

 

yep, understood. i know about dividing the voltages in a series circuit, i just didn't know how much voltage each transformer took.

thanks for the info

 

Why dont you ask Phil at ozinium which is best.
