Hi, I'm pretty knowledgeable but I've never had this situation come up. I just bought a Receiver and two large speakers (actually 2 boxes with a sub, mid, and tweeter).
The speakers are 4 Ohms, but the receiver says it needs 6 Ohms or more per speaker. SO, Right now I'm using BOTH speakers in SERIES on the left channel (thus giving 8 Ohms).
However, this does not allow for stereo, do I have any options besides going below 6 Ohms? I'm trying to do this without reducing audio quality or damaging my equipment.
If I have to keep stay with a mono setup, should/Can I bridge the Left and right channel instead of just using one? Is that a bad idea?
Thanks.
Here's a pic for reference, see where the wires are. There are only two wires, its kinda looks like 3.
