Oh and if your 12" speakers are still too soft you can add another pair in

That is another question. My speakers do have an extra jack that it says is
wired in parallel. Can you simply daisy chain speakers without adding
resistance on one amp? Is this a fire hazard too? They are 8 Ohm speakers.

If you parallel two 8 ohm speakers, they are presenting a 4 ohm load to
the amplifier.

This is fine if your amp is rated to handle a 4 ohm load, though when you
bridge the amplifier you are only able to drive twice the impedance that
each side of the amplifier can drive.

If your problem is that you cannot get enough power into the speaker, running
multiple speakers off one amp will make your problem worse.

All this stuff is discussed in the FAQ, or in the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement
Handbook.
