Can you connect two center speakers to the same red and black terminals on the receiver? null

Question

Yes and no. It depends on the design of the speaker and the amp. Usually a receiver is designed for speakers with a range of ohm ratings. If the speakers are wired in parallel (as described), the ohm (resistance) rating drops by 1/2 (assuming identical speakers). So if you have speakers rated for 8 ohms and a receiver that can handle a 4 ohm load, yes. If you have 6 ohm speakers, they would only be rated at 3 ohms wired together and would overload the receiver.

Each speaker needs it's own wires or u wont get stereo. Possible dangerous also?

Yes it could work unless your reciever is weak and cant handle the load.

I’m sure you can physically do it, but would it actually work? I have no idea. Also, why would you want to?
