Default Stereo Aleph as mono (paralleled!)

I would like to connect a stereo Aleph in parallel (not bridged!) so that I get a mono Aleph with twice the current (splitting input to both channels with a Y and connecting together + and - outputs).

Is it necessary to add a low R in series with each + channel output, in order to guarantee correct distribution and avoid overheat?

If so, what value for each R? 0.2ohm? 10W?

I have a pair of Aleph 3 and a pair of Aleph 0s (4 monoblocks in the end )

Thanks and regards

Not necessary to add a resistor unless the DC offsets are
way off. Anything within 50 mV DC is fine.
