Search series and parallel resistance. If you know the ohms of each speaker then you'll be able to use the formula to figure out what combination will get you the total impedance you want, up around 8 to 16 ohms. Or at least up to 4. You may have to go series on 2, parallel on one, something like that. You don't need a separate wire to each speaker. Its okay to run one wire speaker to speaker. My subs are like that. Its the way they're wired- in series or parallel- that determines the total impedance.
How to connect multiple sets of speakers?
I am currently using a Denon AVR - 1905 for my receiver. I am using it like a 2.1 system. I have my mains on the speaker A channel and the other 3 pairs of speakers on the B channel. The individual sets of speakers and controlled by a speaker selector. At moderately high t high volumes I get a very loud bass rumble. I was explained to me that each channel has it's own amplifier in my receiver. Since I have 3 sets of speakers on 1 channel the Ohms have gone from 8 ohms all the way down to 2 ohms because of the 3 total sets on one channel. Short of get a whole new amplifier setup(Yes, I eventually will do this, just not able to do it now), what is the best way to connect the sets(4 total)? 2 sets per channel with 2 speaker selectors? I appreciate any help on this matter!!
