    you need to read the directions that came with the speakers. I think one is for 8 ohms and the other is for 16 ohms. There should be a marking at each plug.

    Some speaker brands also have a parallel output. So, you can plug your amp into one of the plugs, and then another speaker into the other plug and both speakers will be playing the music. Its a good way of being able to connect more speakers than your amp has outputs. Give it a try, only plug one speaker into an amp, and on the same speaker plug the other speaker.

    Alex is right. It is just a parallel connection so that you can connect more than one speaker.

    If you have a two channel stereo amp, connect one speaker to one side of the amp and the other speaker to the other side.
