Hi,

For you electronics people a theoretical question. You have an amp with only
2 speaker hookups, front left and front right. You have 4 speakers, all 8 ohm.
Your amp says it will handle 4, 6, 8, & 16 ohm speakers. Can the 2 positive
wires from 2 speakers be connected, same done with - wires, then both speakers
be plugged into the left front, then the same done with the other 2 speakers and
hooked up to right front? If this will work would you effectively have a 16 ohm
speaker on each channel with each speaker getting half the rated output wattage? TIA

No, you'll have a 4 Ohm load

Series vs parallel resistance is sometimes a bit easier to grasp with a picture.

This page has a nice pictorial explantation of series vs parallel wiring.
