the choices are series or paralell.

Putting multiple speakers in paralell will ADD the impedence.

Putting multiple speakers in parralell will Divide the impedence.

If you didn't understand all that, pay an installer who does understand.

considering you told him putting them in paralell will both add and divide impedance im sure he's confused as hell right now lol

to raise impedance you wire in SERIES, to lower you wire paralell.

You need to post exactly what speakers you are connecting and to what? Without that info nobody can help you.
