HM	Re: speaker hook up Current is equal throughout a series circuit so no one point will see more current than any other. In the circuit you describe two 8 ohm speakers would dissipate 1/4 the power in watts of one 16 ohm speaker and see 1/2 the current in amps and 1/2 the voltage in what else volts = 1/4 the power in watts. This is resistance figures with all speakers equal and no consideration for speaker reactance. Hope i got some place close to your question. H Meuse:
