Hi,
I wire them in parallel because if a problem develops with one disc the others will still work. I know from previous posts some do it in series.

Good luck and let us know how you get on :o)

OK, youall. heres a little incite to piezos and how thay work as a pick up and not as a buzzer. Flexing a piezo disk in one direction , creates a low current / high voltage to one lead. Then flexing in the other direction creates a low current/ high voltage to the other lead, That being said, thier is no specific positive or negative side to a piezo. You can test this for your self using a multimeter on the lowest dc volt setting.

according to my experimenting, two in series is much loader than one by itself. so that's good enough for me. I just need a rig that will hold it's own playing along side my tele pups that are in my 6 string cigarster. If anyone is interested in seeing it, here are pics, thanks for the replys. http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/silenceisconsent/guitar/

Well, since they are physically wired as a series... I don't see what's not to get. one wired into another, then into the output jack. It works...

two in series seem to settle down the "quacking" a lot and... allows for some tone shaping that is not possible with a single... that being said, if tone is a goal, just go with a wound pup....Wichita Sam
