Hi
This is embarassing, but is there a "proper" way to daisy-chain 4 speakers off 2 stereo amp channels?
I have 4 JBL 8340A Cinema Surround speakers and a Hafler P7000 amp, and would like to have each side of the amp feeding 2 speakers for each side of the stereo surrounds. The 8340's are 8ohms, rated at 250w continuous pink, 1000w peak. The Hafler is rated at 350wpc into 8ohms (FTC).
Thanks in advance!

The JBLs are 8 Ohms and the P7000 can easily drive 4 Ohms, so you should run the speakers in parallel. So each channel would look like this:
