SDA and Jolida

Waiting out the hurricane here in north FL.
Surfing the audio sites and raised some questions hopefully someone can answer.
Just bought Jolida JD1501RC to hook up to my SDA2 pair.
Is this a common ground amp as Polk says I need?
Have same question for the Jolida SJ-502A I use for my SDA1 pair.
Also, are the SDA1 and SDA2 4 ohm or 8 ohm speakers?
SJ-502A has separate speaker inputs for 4 or 8 ohm.
And one more, what type of amp is not a "common ground"?
Thanks!

Hoping you ride it out well.
SDA1 and 2 are 4 ohm speakers.
I'm pretty sure the Jolida's are common ground, but you should check with Jolida to be 100% sure.
Dual mono amps and mono block amps are the most common, non-common ground amps.Political Correctness'.........defined

a follow-up question: in the absence of separate posts designated for 4 ohms or 8 ohms (most amps have only one set of posts for speaker output), does the amp or receiver compensate for the difference in speaker ohms? or do they dual capability?

Depends, some receivers have a switch, some don't. Some receivers can't handle anything lower than 8 ohms, some can do 6 and some can do 4. Most amps can handle 8, 6, 4 ohms some are good at 2 and a few can handle down to 1 ohm. Best advice is to consult the owners manual spec sheet.Political Correctness'.........defined
