wire confusion? how to connect.

this is just something i forgot.
and need to know again.

but how to i connect two or more speakers to one channel with out lowering
the ohm's of the speakers.

or rasing the ohm's they need to stay at 8 ohms.

so now i have them all connected to the channels by normal wire screws on the back of the amp.

as in each of the speakers running positive to positive and negitive to negitive. making for a lot of wires trying to clamp on the back of the amp.

is that the way to make multiple speakers on one channel and keep them all at the eight ohm's ?

or should i dasiy chain them as in one positive wire from the amp
to the positive post on the first speaker. then the negitive wire from the first speaker, to the positive post of the second speaker. then taking the negitive wire from the second speaker back to the amp?

which is the way not to lower or raise the ohm's and cause my amp to burn out again. i can not remember since its been 20 years since i blew out the last amp, by making the wrong connection in the speakers i built.

i'd like to avoid another toasted amp if i can.

thanks
