A good percentage of home receivers are capable of running safely @ 4 ohms.

If your receiver isn't 4 ohm stable, it'll more than likely shut off as soon as you attempt to turn the volume up. I'm sure that damage could be done in the worst case scenario, so I'd definitely see if the receiver is 4 ohm capable first...

Wire them in series to 8 ohms, put them on one channel, and then they each get almost rated power?
