Bonjour,

In fact, I would like to connect 2 speakers and a subwoofer to the same amplifier channel, knowing that they are all 8 ohms and the amplifier is rated for 4 ohms.

I believe I understand that it is possible to make a series/parallel connection, but I can't find any information on the subject.

Is it possible, and if so, how do I do it?

Thank you

    Good evening Helpmeplz, if I remember correctly, you can connect your speakers in series, meaning you connect the + of your amplifier output to the + of the first speaker, the - of the first speaker to the + of the second speaker, the - of the second speaker to the + of the third speaker, and finally the - of the third speaker to the - of your amplifier output. That’s a series connection, and it seems to me that it's the procedure to follow when there's a difference in impedance (ohms) between an amplifier and speakers. However, I cannot guarantee proper functioning or good sound since there’s a sub in the circuit. Without the sub, I think there wouldn’t be a problem. You can try, but with caution.
    Best regards.
