Two 4-ohm speakers, wired in stereo,
will present a 4 ohm load to each
channel of the amplifier. Most two-
channel amplifiers will work well in this
configuration.
Two 4-ohm speakers, wired in parallel
to a bridged two-channel amplifier,
will present a 2-ohm mono load to the
amplifier.
MOST TWO-CHANNEL
AMPLIFIERS DO NOT SUPPORT 2-OHM
