HI

just looking for a little advice on basically adding two more bookshelf speakers to my home audio system,if its possible to add and even if it will enhance sound i dont know,i dont want to run in blind and blow my amp, series? parallel? just hit me plain and simple!

i only really use the amp and speakers for stereo sound via aux or cd.

Hi there, how much is your budget and why would you like 4 speakers buddy? If you have the room maybe look into spending just a little bit of money getting some nice new speaker stands and you'll be amazed at the difference.

No. Don't even think about it. Do not.

I can only say to you "DON'T DO THAT".

This plan of yours will not give a good result. The reason is to search in the physic of sound.

A speaker pushes air to obtain sound. This excite your all room and give a result, it's what you hear.

When you add a pair of speaker, another component will pushes the air in another way. The two processes will overlap one above the other and it will erase some frequencies and will overboost others. The logical result of that will be a totally erratic thing, although called "soup".

If your speakers don't content you, change them.
