If I put 2 8 ohm woofers in parallel, can I run them with a 4 ohm crossover and tweeter?

Is it a good idea to to use a bunch of amps instead of a single receiver for surround sound? Good analogue receivers are expensive and I don’t have enough speakers to fill all the channels yet.
As such yes, but it is also a question of the sensitivity, frequency response etc. of the drivers - this is a great resource for beginning a diy build: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/so-you-want-to-design-your-own-speaker-from-scratch.332688/
Generally i would say no, as you get quite a bit of functionality for the money from surround receivers. But if you only want to use pc as a source, have a surround sound card/output, doesnt want more than 7.1 surround/atmos then sure. It also depends on your budget.
Oh just saw the date on the post, i will leave the comment though 😅.
Np. Thanks for the reply! You have so far been the second source of knowledge I have seen on question 2. I’ll probably go the multiple amps route though as slowly building an amp farm is more budget friendly atm.
