If the output voltage is _slightly_ not matched, each amp will attempt to correct it and push large currents into each other. HEAT. BANG.

You forgot to give the power.

From quick reading of posts, to get more sound you can put 2- 8 ohm speakers in parallel which will give 6 db increase over one

8 ohm.

You can bridge, say put 1-2 ohm resistors in series with the speaker and use a bridge transformer on the input. If you gave the minimum ohm spec of the amp, I could be more specific. You also did not specify the output type if the amplifier. Are the channels allready bridged ?

I have a small stereo amplifier which came with two tiny 4ohm 3watt speakers

Still reading.........................................

How tiny?

What color ??
