Equipment:
(1) JBL JXR 125 [500 W to 1000 W into 4 ohms]
http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/general/Product.aspx?PId=91&MId=3
(1) Crown XTi 2000 [1000 W @ 2 ohms/800 W @ 4 ohms/475 W @ 8 ohms]
http://www.crownaudio.com/amp_htm/xti.htm
(2) Acoustic Audio Bookshelf Loudspeakers [700 W @ 8 ohms nominal]

I currently have the JXR connected to the XTi via speakon cable on the right channel.
What I want to know is if I can hook up the smaller bookshelf to the left channel on my XTi through pure copper wire/banana plugs (Series/Parallel Wiring) even though the two speakers are of different ohms? Will the XTi be able to find the right ohms for each set automatically or will I have to set it somehow?
Ive been very cautious about setting this up encase something goes wrong. Do you guys have any advice as to what I should do?
Thanks in advance for all your help, this is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:
Okay so I just got the speakers set up to my rig. 1 speaker wasn't working at first, but after a quick check turned out one of the wires wasn't making full contact, fixed it and now everything is working like a charm! Thanks for everyones help on this. This forum rocks!
