You will probably find it in the electronics group.

If you wire them in parallel, it will cut the impedance in half. This will make the piezos sound much nicer.

Thanks folks, is it possible to have each with it's own independent volume control?

Can you explain how to wire it? I thought I did it correctly, but both volume knobs control both piezos, not each individual one. I've done something wrong... :)

I tried to find an image for you and the closest I found was this one.

 

 

Pretend the Bass magnetic pickups are Piezos and just remove the tone pot out of this diagram. Run the wire from the 2nd volume control that runs to the middle tab of the tone pot to the positive tab on the output jack instead.

 

hope this helps.

Your Welcome.

 

I am glad it helped you. Wiring can get frustrating.
