Putting 2 speakers on 1 channel, issues?

Swampwalker,

Thanks for the input. Fortunately, the speakers will not be driven hard at all(close neighbors). They will be just for background noise while outside.

Thanks,

Bud

It will be a 3ohm load which is fine if played at low volume. But keep in mind it takes more volume for outdoor speakers due to the lack of boundaries. A speaker selector would let you turn off the speakers not being used and protect the amp.

What about running the speakers in series, for a nominal 12 ohm load that could be kinder to the amp?
