Running Speakers in Parallel, center channel help.

Though many people disagree with this approach, I would like to run a stereo pair of speakers for a single center channel. Each speaker is biwirable, thus 4 connections per speaker. My amp is a conventional one with a single + and single - coming out!

I understand I am better off running the speaker in parallel versus jumpers to each.

My question is two-fold. 1) How would connect a pair of speakers in parallel? 2) Your thoughts on running stereo speakers for a center channel?

For what it is worth, I am running a set of Veritas 2.8s, and will be using 2.2s as the center. The amp is the Cal MCA-2500.

Thanks!!

Subaruguru, pulling legs?

The only legs I am pulling are those from the Turkey, preparing him for a stuffing in three weeks!

I have not figured out how to arrange the speakers, although I would imagine them being in their normal vertical arrangement. I have not figured out if they should
be RIGHT next to each other, or side by side, of if I should
put them some (unknown?) distance apart.

I know I have no idea how to do this, but certainly will try. I was just hoping someone else had some ideas.

As for imp. drops, it is my understanding this running speakers in parallel actually INCREASES impedence. This is how it was explained to me! You seem to have a different view.

Anyone else?
