how many sets of speakers can I connect to this amp? I have a set of speakers in each of 4 rooms.

Safely, and for fidelity, one set of speakers. You will need an receiver with a + b speakers and two M-5010 amplifiers for four rooms. I have this. Make certain the receiver has pre-out connections. I use the A-9050 which is a good match. This unit does not work for home theatre... stereo only... but very good stereo.

You could use one amplifier per speaker, but it won't be any better than plugging both speakers into one amplifier - it's 15 watts per channel, not 30 watts wherever, so leaving one side disconnected doesn't gain you anything on the other side. You also can't connect them together. That really shouldn't matter much, though. You don't actually have to run 30 watt speakers from a 30 watt amplifier - I've had this little amp hooked up to a pair of 100-watt speakers and it was just fine. You can't run the speakers to their maximum volume, but they run just fine at normal volumes. Remember, noise and power aren't linear, so 15 watts isn't half as loud as 30 watts. In fact, a mere 3 watts is half as loud as 30! 15 watts is enough to get your speakers fairly loud.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

Ok I'm going to try and keep it simple. Normally, once the amp is connected the 'sound' travels out of the red/white or left/right speaker connectors that are attached then to the speaker system. In your case, think of the speaker box as a 'conjunction' (like the words 'and/ but' in a sentence)..so just connect the 'speaker out' on your amp to the 'speaker in' on the speaker selector box...then connect the speaker box to the 6 speakers...be ready with a small flat head screw driver to open each the speaker connection ports...it's a bit more tedious but assures a professional non clip in/out connection...good luck...and make sure every thing is off to avoid 'blowing out' of the speakers and/or unit.

This amp is not putting out 2100 watts to your speakers. Your speakers are probably 8 ohms. If they are 8 ohms they are getting 230 watts to each channel. 1050 Watts x 2 Power Amplifier 230 + 230 Watts @ 8 Ohms - 460 + 460 Watts @ 4 Ohms - 920 + 920 Watts @ 2 OhmsYou will need a much more powerful amp. Good luck!

That depends on the amp you have, it wouldn't be smart to connect two different subwoofers to the same amp, maybe get two amps, one for each sub, just make sure the wiring is done correctly for the best sound and a long lasting system

You know . Im actually only running 4 speakers with this . I did switch the impedance to 4 . And I think I does sound a lot better . "Not overload" . I bought it so I can hook up 8 more so total of 12 speakers . One time for some reason when I first set it up . If I would crank up the volume the speakers would sound horrible and the zone selector kept turning off . I couldn't figure out why . But since then it hasn't done it anymore . Sorry I'm lot very technical I hope this helps

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.

Hi There.....I have a Yamaha 200 amp connected to this unit, running 4 seperate set of speakers. Its been in use for a few years with no problems. I don't crank my music very high and listen to easy music. Hope it helps!

You can switch to an "A" set of speakers or a"B" set. Or run 4 speakers at 1/2 the power.

I only have two speakers. It's plug and play. I think that one will fun four speakers. I suggest you look at hogtunes.com for a complete rundown on the hogtunes products and help.

depends on the power required. This barely powers the speakers I have and the sub...but if your speakers are more efficient then you could run them in a series, but why not get a 4 channel amp.

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.

The Fosgate has a 400 Watt peek and after you do the math of the RMS it totals up to 380 RMS but, I'm sure the max watts of each of your speaker should be high the RMS you specified. I don't know which speakers you have plus, how you plan to connect 6 speaker on amp that has 4 channels. It make a big difference and you're not giving enough information to give you the proper answer.

Yes you can hook up three sets of speakers. Read the instructions. Pairing two sets drops the volume on both sets. Pairing a different set doesn't. The instructions let you know all of the spec's

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.

You can hook up 4 speakers to the Pyle PTA 1000 amp , but realize that when you hook 2 speakers in parallel to each output, you drop the resistance from 8 to 4 ohms. You have to be careful not to overdrive the amp since 4 ohm will draw twice the power at higher volumes and you could "fry" the amp. You can do this but be careful not to turn the volume up too high. An altenative would be to hook each set of 2 up in series. This doubles the resistance to 16 ohms. Less power, but safer for the amp. Most stereo hifi amps have A and B speaker jacks, but they are hooked in parallel. if you don't try to turn the amp up too loud you should be OK.
