can you hook up additional speakers? with the red and black connectors? I have two boss speakers that I want to hook up.

You can but you will half to unwire all the other wire because since this product is a easy hook up you will half to hot wire some if those but I wouldn't recommend this blue Ray DVD player I don't like it and it didn't come with everything and 2 of my speakers did not work so I hocked all the speakers to my other surround sound

I would assume so. Physically you can. The only thing I would be careful if making sure the speakers don't require too many watts. You don't want to overload the receiver trying to push speakers with wattage that is higher than it was designed for.

Yes, maybe: but things get complicated depending on the Impedance of your "boss" speakers. All of the speakers shipped in the box are 3 OHM and are in balance with your amp in order not to overload it. Impedances in series connections are additive, but not so in parallel connections which you will be dealing with what you propose. You must add the reciprocals of impedances to get parallel circuit total impedance....... R(t)= 1/Rx+1/Ry. There are parallel circuit calculators on line. Examples: adding a "boss" 3 OHM speaker in parallel will result in a circuit impedance of 1.5 OHM which will load the amp by allowing 2X wattage to be outputted; you could add a 1.5 OHM resistor in series with the parallel circuit and it would then balance to 3OHM; adding the 3 OHM "boss" in a series connection will unload the amp with !/2 wattage. If you have a 8 OHM "boss" in parallel thel result is a circuit with 2.18 OHMs. You could then add a 2 OHM resistor in front of the Samsung speaker and the circuit would balance to 3 OHM, but the 3 OHM Samsung would "hog" the power to the detriment of the 8 OHM "boss". A 3 OHM resistor on the Samsung would do the same thing for a 6 Ohm "boss" with similar results. So you can do it but will it be worth your time? I could have and I didn't.

No, there is no room to add extra speakers, there are just 2 insert jacks in the back of the unit to add the 2 speakers that are supplied with the unit.

Noooo lol just the tweeters.. get a class-D mono for the subs is sugges Boss audios 5K amp for the subs. Sorry for late reply feel free to ask anyything else.

I dont see why not but I'm not sure if you will get the sound quality inside with 2 missing speakers. Also the outside ones may not have a full range of sound. For instance, no bass.

Yes there are 2 lineouts for monitors or power speakers. I just got mine about a weak ago and I'm loving the system.

You definitely can hook them up but if you're after quality stereo sound this isn't the amp you want since it has a mono output. You might want to read about hooking speakers up in series and parallel to get the desired impedance.

I placed my amp and wifi adapter on a bookshelf close to the wall where I placed the outdoor speakers. I am actually trying to find out if I can daisy chain another amp to the SA-4 so I can add more speakers. But to add more speakers to the primary amp, no not enough terminals.

There is a possibility that you can connect other speakers to the system. There must be pigtail connections, plug ins connections are not available(i.e. RCA plugs). Be careful of how powerful the speakers might be. Compatibility might also present a problem. Most of the time, the parts included with the system are the best fit.

You need to purchase a separate amp for your 6" speakers. I have two small amps driving 6 speakers, & the sub has its own internal amp. Even if you could use the amp to power additional speakers. You wouldn't want to do that.

Simon Your setup should work the only problem I see is that the speakers you have may not get enough power but they should sound good, when I setup this speaker it was a pain trying to understand what type of series should they be installed in, but the polk audio has 4 leads red, black green, and white please follow the instructions very carefully and try only one speaker at a time. When this unit is connect correctly it sounds great.

My understanding is that the you do not. You can have one set of speakers hooked up if you want. I have four sets of speakers connected at various volumes and they sound great.

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

You can "Loop out" of one into the other with an XLR Cable. Speakers input and The output is labeled Link in the rear. That's it.

This comes with 2 cables (2-wire to RCA Red and 2-wire to RCA black). One cable will be for the left speaker and the other cable would be for the right speaker. As long as your speakers use a 2 wire connection then this should be able to connect those speaker to any equipment using a RCA output jack.

This is if you want to bi-amp the speakers. They are bridged so you can connect them like most speakers. AWESOME speakers BTW!!!

Actually you cannot add extra speakers. The only way to do it will change the impedance of the speakers making it likely you'll ruin the transformer in the unit. There are no extra speaker jacks on the unit. There are no jacks on the speakers, the speaker wires are permanently installed. It is designed for one set of speakers. This is a very nice unit for the price. It's one of the few shelf systems left that can accommodate multiple CD's.

That is the correct way to connect the speakers. After you connect the two speakers, using the XLR cable, make sure both power buttons are on. Then check the level knob on both speakers.
