I have a "Studio-Standard by Fisher AM/FM STEREO RECEIVER" in my bedroom. It works great for a stereo system, and right now I have two large speakers sitting next to it. You'll have to forgive my lack of correct terminology, I'm more of a software guy. And for clarification purposes, I'll try to be as descriptive as possible.

Each speaker has a positive and negative wire(I assume), or for lack of correct knowledge, two wires. One speaker has two sets of + and - wires coming out of it. So the setup I have is: Both sets of wires from a single speaker plugged into a single pair of output jacks on the back of the stereo, for a total of four output jacks that are collectively labeled "Speakers A". An identical set of four output jacks directly under are named "Speakers B". On the front of the stereo are two toggle buttons labeled "Speakers A" and "Speakers B". So I have two questions:

1)When I plug another set of speakers into the output labeled "Speakers B" and toggle the button for the second set of speakers, the sound quality degrades terribly in quality and amplitude. Is this a problem with the stereo, or is it just not built to support multiple speaker system at once?
2)Can I have multiple speakers running to the same output jack, or will it short at a certain point?

I apologize if it's hard to understand the questions, I tried to be as descriptive as I can.
 
maybe the speakers are "watts" are to small for the thing you are connecting them to
