Need help wiring speakers to amp !

[KAKAMOOO]

I have another set of Mission 760is that i want to wire to the same output from my amp as my m70s but im not sure on how i am best to do this or whether it not going to be healthy for my amp. and whether series or parralel is going to work better

The m70s are 8ohm

the 760is are 6ohm

thanks in advance

I wouldn't.

Parallel could damage the amp.with very low impedance. Series should mess up the sound. Dont!

You'd be better off buying a cheap 2nd hand amp and feeding it from a set of the Pioneer's Tape Out sockets.

Not sure why op wants to do this. Sit one spkr on top of the other? Different rooms for each set? The series/parallel connections in your links refer to speaker drivers and not to a speaker system ie speaker units with crossover in a box!

ONLY if your amp can support it.

These might help

Having a 6ohm and an 8ohm speaker in parallel will effectively lower the impendance to 3.4 ohms. This will slightly more than double the current and you would need to check whether the amp can support that.

Adding in series would give you an impedence of 14.Make sure they are in phase.

A customary glance at the specs of your amp seems to suggest it supports 4-16ohm.

So I would say no to parallel - 3.4 is below this threshold
