if you need both for lets say a seprate room you could find a quality speaker selector that will impedence match so the load is not so low for your amp but you will lose a little sound quality that way. its what amps do with two speaker conections internaly if you had an integrated amp with more then one hook up. if your using them in the same room i would look at the above posts as its not really recomended as you really dont gain anything and the losses are to great.
Need help with wiring second pair of speakers
I am considering hooking up a second pair of speakers to my 2 channel system. My integrated amp has only one set of left and right speaker terminals. I have heard that improper wiring can cause serious impedence issues. My amp puts out a good amount of power. My primary pair of speakers are rated at 6 ohms (nominal) and the second pair are rated at 4 ohms (nominal).
My questions are:
Firstly, will the two different impedences be compatible?
Secondly, do I wire them parallel with cables from the amp feeding both sets of speakers; or in series by hooking up the second pair from the first pair? I know one of these is wrong, but not which one.
