Although the description above is for combining a series pair and a parallel pair

in a parallel hookup, you may also elect to combine two series pairs in a parallel

hookup. Simply be sure you have properly calculated the total impedance, and

attach the (+) speaker circuit wire to the proper amp terminal. For example, if

C

you use two pairs of 8 Ohm speakers in series each pair, the impedance for each

pair is 16 Ohms. Connected in parallel to the amp terminals, the TOTAL impedance

is 8 Ohms, so you should connect these to the 8 Ohm terminal.
