JL is 100% correct.,I tend to think of 16 and 8 ohm loads, but for a little Gitty amp he is spot on.,.most amps do not like a 2 ohm load unless they were designed that way.,.,.,cheers.,.,
I did 2 of them as weekend projects, 1 with stepson, and 1 with stepgrandson, and we did the 2 speakers in series on both, turned out great. And you can hear a difference in timber with the box open or closed.
I assume it is an amp board like in the gitty kit? it can handle a speaker load of 4-8 ohms, 1 or 2 of the gitty speakers in series. wired in parallel and the speakers present a 2 ohm load and the board might cook with too small of a resistance on the output.
Or as an option wire them in parallel.,., For series wiring connect the + side of one speaker to the - side of the other speaker. This will leave you with one open + and one open - to connect to the amps output. For parallel wiring combine the - leads on one side and combine the + leads on the other, and connect the combined leads to the output of the amp. Confusing ???

Wired in series it is
thanks
and yes it is two of little Gitty speakers and one 2.5 amp board

wire them in series and treat the pair like a single speaker.
