I have 2 unused Becker speaker boxes (specs below), that I'd like to use to make a guitar amp box.  I went to a local guitar shop to see if they sold just the amps, without the speakers and explained that I wanted to use it with these speakers and they told me I was going to ruin them.  They couldn't really tell me why it would ruin them, just that it would happen.  One of the guys said it had something to do with the fact they're 4 ohm speakers and not 8 (makes sense, since each is half the load a guitar amp is expected to drive), which led me to say, "just wire them in series", and again I got a "it does not work like that".

So my question for you guys is, can I wire them serially and hook them up to a 600 watts amp?  I won't be using that much power in the house, but since the speakers can handle it, I'd like to have the ability to drive them that loudly should the opportunity present itself.

300 watts RMS
4 ohm
3 way crossover
15 inch woofer

Thanks.
