Speakers can be wired in parallel or in series. Take the speaker wire from the output, and wire the speakers like so: (ignore the squiggles, they represent spaces)

----|------|

For a parallel wiring. This will reduce the impedance of each speaker, though, so two ohm speakers should be used insead of four ohm speakers.

Wire them like this:

for series wiring. This will increase impedance though, so eight ohm speakers should be bought instead of four.

You will be fine using four ohm speakers in either case, but will lose clarity.

How do you wire stereo speakers?

The new speakers come with un-stripped copper wires..... you need a pair of wire strippers.... i put in kenwood speakers and the size of the wire was 14 somethin. you would need to get a wire diagram for you car/truck to see the colors of the positive and negative wires. then look on the aftermarket speaker box to see which wire is negative and which one is positive.... After you would do all this, just match up negative to negative and positive to positive. simple as that. I'd recommend wire nutting the wires or electrical taping them... but DO NOT put all four wires together. that will mess your speakers' sound up completely. wire nut the positives together and then wire nut the negatives together.

How do you wire your speakers?

That depends. If they're computer speakers and all your wires are headphone-jack style, then all you do is run the headphone wire from your speakers and plug it into your computer speaker input on the sound card, or a headphone jack. If they're not computer speakers and you want to wire component speakers through your computer, you'll need a receiver to power them, speaker wire to go from your speakers to the receiver, and a cable to go from your receiver "input jack" to your computer. That cable should have a red and white RCA on one end, and a headpone jack on the other.
