[QUOTE="85Caprice4d, post: 3660164, member: 578455"] so run them both to the same channel? "Adding Speakers in parallel decreases the overall resistance of the circuit Parallel Speaker Wiring combines all Speakers (+) positive Speaker leads together, and all (-) negative Speaker leads together. Adding additional Speakers is as easy, however, adding Speakers in Parallel causes the overall resistance of the circuit to drop, as resistance drops, the current must increase according to Ohms Law. So, each time a Speaker with the same resistance is added to the parallel circuit, the current draw on the amp increases. The circuitry of the amp must be able to handle this increase in current at the reduced resistance. Formula: Znet = 1 / (1/Z1 + 1/Z2 + ... + 1/Zn) Example: 2 X 4 Ohm Speaker = 1 / (1/4 + 1/4 ) = 2 Ohm Load" [URL="http://www.marshallforum.com/cabinets-speakers/158-speaker-wiring.html"]http://www.marshallforum.com/cabinets-speakers/158-speaker-wiring.html[/URL] this is true? 2 ohm load since its 2x 4ohm?
