So I have a speaker that can wire into either 4 or 1ohm. Another that can wire into 4ohm or 2ohm.
If I were to wire them to 1ohm and 2 ohm, what is the final amp load?

As a former Krell owner I get that much. But what does this mean?“Crossloading a 1ohm stable amplifierAnything below 1/2 ohms speaker behaves like a short circuit
16/8ohm - normal , 4ohm hard to drive , 2ohm brutal to drive , 1ohm stand well back unless you have monster amps like Krell
Had me headscratching as wellAs a former Krell owner I get that much. But what does this mean?“Crossloading a 1ohm stable amplifier
But I don’t think there’s any such thing as a choice on a speaker. The impedance is the impedance (of a loudspeaker). But some amps have different taps (usually valve types) though none would be 1 ohm. I’m still puzzled!For whatever reason, he's got two speakers (drivers?), both of which can have a choice of impedance.
Clearly should not have been posted where it was perhaps the OP will consider this in any future posts.Car audio and home audio are 2 different things, if you had said it was for a car in the first post it would have made sense, but for home audio it’s pretty nonsensical.

Bit dark, are you wiring them parallel or in serie?If I were to wire them to 1ohm and 2 ohm, what is the final amp load?
This comes across as a bit aggressive and arrogant to me for a new poster asking for help. Less coffee and more eggs methinks.....🤔This presents as a lack of knowledge on those partaking, not me, your responsibility is to learn of it to add in future discussion, if your purpose is to help which the forum is for.
Car and home audio are not that dissimilar, they require different ways of getting power, that's about it, they fundamentally are the same, car audio just uses lower OHM ratings due to efficiency mostly.
I use it in my house as the price tags tend to match their quality, unlike "audiophile grade home stuff"
Anything else is just preconceived bias and nonsense in order to pad your purchases.
Length of service does not = knowledge nor intelligence, it is also a fact age =/= maturity nor betterment.This comes across as a bit aggressive and arrogant to me for a new poster asking for help. Less coffee and more eggs methinks.....🤔
Bit dark, are you wiring them parallel or in serie?
In serie the "load" would be 3.
In parallel it is a bit more complex: https://www.khanacademy.org/science.../ee-resistor-circuits/a/ee-parallel-resistors
I mean it could just be a difference between creativity and older age making you conform to this state of ego-concentration.
too many here see themselves as knowing best and treat new people like they are dim-wits.
You don't have power over me, I am an adult with a mind of my own thank you.Oh dear....
Only arrogant youth thinks these are mutually exclusive....
Best not to waste any more time here then....🙂
I would respectfully say to you that If you think the people on this hi-fi forum lack knowledge, I've got a suggestion for you.This presents as a lack of knowledge on those partaking, not me
