Then connect then in that format to the amplifier. It will work for you.


Why are car speaker 4 ohms and home speakers 8 ohms I understand the technical difference but why is there a difference?

Car stereos use 12V which is lower than the 30V used in home stereos. Power = voltage^2/Resistance. To get the same power with lower voltage the speaker resistance is lower. Most home speakers are now 4 Ohms and car speakers are now 2 Ohms.
