3:46 this is called parallel. If the speakers are 8-ohms each, the pair needs to be treated as a 4-ohm speaker because they are in parallel, else you will burn out the speakers or their amplifier. Impedance Matching is important for MPTT.

@rockosgaminglogic Yes, I totally suck at speaker wiring. The speakers are 4ohm each and I just wanted mono output. Hopefully it's all good. I didn't test the volume to see how loud it can go, I was saving that for another day.

@@TomsProjects that might be worse. Check the impedance of the amplifier. If you have your speakers in parallel then that's a 2 ohm load. If you put them in series, its 8 ohms. Some amps have a 4-ohm or 8-ohm option on the back. Or having series pair in parallel for a 4-ohm load with four 4-ohm speakers. Getting the impedance matched will make it sound a lot better, too.
