Can I connect two 4 ohm speakers and two 8 ohm speakers? (Question was asked before--don't see an answer.)

no it will blow out the unit. it won't handle much more than two 8 ohm speakers.

Not a good idea you should aim for a two channel amp our two one channel amps and try to match the ohms of the speakers with the amp to get the best out of them

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

This unit is built for output impedance 4-8 Ohm. By using 2 Ohm speakers you are risking to burn unit amplifier; this is not really high end equipment.This unit has RCA output and option to attach an amplifier; that would be better way to go.

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

No reason you can't, they are all 4 ohm. You may lose some of the sound quality because I believe there is more than one speaker in the fronts.

depends on how wire up your speakers. you can wire them in series or parallel. depending on the speakers resistance specs you can wire them a multitude of ways, especially if they are dual ohm voice coils. 2 single 4ohm speakers can be wired together as 8 ohm or 2 ohm setup. dual voice coil speakers with extend your options. do a little research on wiring subwoofers in series or paralell. you can definately make it work, but it may not have that punch and volume your looking for.

Four speakers (2 pair) at once yes. Four pairs no. Total resistance should not drop below 4 ohms with most amplifiers.

Won't work with a 8 ohm coil. I use it with a 12" single 4 ohm via bridge and the amps couldn't handle it. I think you should get a different amps or get 2 ohms speakers.

Two 8 ohms speakers in parallel make a 4 ohms load. If you have 4 speakers you'll have to wire 1 set of 2 in series wicch will give you 16 ohms and set 2 in series also. Two 16 ohms wired in parallel will make an 8 ohms load

there are two channels. but channel A/B function. it says it can function down to 2 ohms. but i burnt it when i did that.it may work at 4 ohms. the lowest impedance it should have is 4 ohms. this means that u can use one 4 ohm speaker per channel, or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel per channel

I only have two speakers and two sending units. I can use two sources by setting the sending units to different channels. I don't see why you couldn't use 4 or more speakers with one sending unit. Just set the speakers so that either 2 are "left" and 2 "right" or you could set all four to mono or any combination. Turn the source- sending unit on and set its channel. Then go to each speaker and press auto scan. Each speaker should find the sender.

you can use 8 ohm speakers,however if you use main and remote speakers they must both be 8 ohms or higher. if u use 2 sets of 8 ohm speakers the amplifier sees it as 4 ohms {speakers are in paralel} anything under 4 ohms will shut the amp down. even playing amp loud it may go in to shutdown when it sees 4 ohms.

I haven't done that but the on-line instructions say you can attach two sets of speakers with normal speaker wire and a woofer, and also use the RCA - but I can't believe you can use them all at once - sorry I can't be of more help - I'm just a novice

Yes, but the speakers must be 8 ohm speakers. You can not use 4 ohm speakers. If you are only using 1 pair of speakers, then you can use 4 ohm speakers. Most speakers are 8 ohms, but check to be sure.

Not without running them parallel with another 4 ohms speaker or wiring them to them self in parallel. Individually these r 2 4 ohms speakers

Shouldn't matter as long as your stereo system is pushing 8 ohms output. The only thing you might notice is different sets of speakers might have different volume levels when playing them together.
