In Reply to: A+B speaker setup. How this works? posted by Edil on December 19, 2001 at 19:59:22:

Check the manual, it should tell you what option is used. There are 2 main options.
1. It connects speakers in series.
2. It connects speakers in parallel.
Series connection will cut power by half, while parallel will double the power.
To find out which option is in your receiver, do this.
Connect both of your speakers as left (or right, does not matter) on both A and B outputs. This means one speaker to A left and other to B left, (still only 2 speakers) then hit both A and B to work. If they both work, you have parallel connection and it will add (double) power. If they do not work, you have series connection and it will split (1/2) power.
