Speaker wiring

[AnotherOne]

I'm adding one of the 32 ohm ELK speakers in with my other 3 8-ohm speakers. Right now the speakers are wired 2 in series, and then one in parallel with those two. So final ohm value is 6.

What's the best way to add the 32 ohm speaker with these 3?

Thanks.

Just to clarify......if you have two parallel circuits, one with 8 ohms and one with 16 ohms (two 8 ohms in series), the resulting resistance is 5.3 ohms, not 6 ohms.

By adding a third parallel branch of 32 ohms, the resulting resistance will be 4.5 ohms. That's what I would do.
