When driving multiple pairs of speakers connected in parallel, the effective impedance the amplifier sees is cut in half. For example, when driving two pair of 8 ohm speakers, the amplifier sees a 4 ohm load. When driving multiple speakers in parallel, select speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher.
