    Wiring 2 different set of speakers with different ohm's??

    Ok, so i was reading through some articles about matching speaker ohms to amp ohms and come across some quite frightening facts..the question im going to ask is, How do i connect 2 8ohm speakers and 2 4ohm speakers to a 4 channel amp?
    on the back of the amp its says ' CAUTION each speakers impendance is 8ohms at A+B position' i know i can have either speakers A or B on but does it change the impendance or something and will it damage my amp if not wired correctly?

    sorry i having trouble putting this into words as its quite confusing.

    If anybody can help me i would be much appreciated, and if you need any pictures just let me know.

The two 15 ohm woofers would be connected in series with an 8 ohm inductance....

      Also I've read an interesting article:

      "If you hear something of
      an "8 ohm amplifier", then we think usually of 8 ohm speakers.
