Wiring two speakers together will never damage the speaker. However, since you are changing the resistance, your amplifier must be rated to handle the changed resistance. If you amplifier is only rated to 4 ohms, then applying a 2 ohm load (parallel) would likely cause problems for your amplifier. If you presented a higher resistance lever of 8 ohms (series), your amp would be just fine, but you would get less power from the amplifier. Usually in the range of half the rated output @ 4 ohm.So unless you want to run in series and run under powered, then you need to look for an amplifier that is rated to 2 ohms. If it is a 2 ohm safe amp, then you can parallel the two 4 ohm speakers without any worry.</blockquote>
