Can this amp handle a pair of speakers with 6ohm impedance?

I would assume so, since it will handle both 8 and 4. But I'm not an electrician, so I don't really know. http://www.daytonaudio.com/index.php/dayton-audio-dta-120-class-t-digital-mini-amplifier-60-wpc.html

i have the 6ohm Pioneer SP-BS41-LRs hooked up to this, and frankly it blows my mind how good it sounds.

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.

Yes, this amp will be enough. I have mine powering four 6.5s with 60 watt rms.

Yes it will work. If it is two quite you can wire two speakers in parallel on one channel to drop it to 8 ohms.

Hello. At 4 ohms that amp provide 525 watts. That is plenty so I would just use both channels of your amp, on for each speaker. You would not want to bridge your amp with these speakers as you would then be providing 1550 watts at 4 ohms and would almost definitely blow the speakers. Also if you bridged your amp you would only have one channel. So either you would need two amps, or you would try to daisy chain these speakers and I don't believe that amp will work at 2 ohms.

Not enough info here, but I would bridge two channels to one of those subs. This amp would probably handle both of them, but not two amps and speakers.

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

Yes it will work fine. If anything going up in ohm ratings is easier and safer than going down. You are taking a 6 ohm rating and going up to 8 which uses less power to drive the speaker. If you were trying to go from 8 ohm rating on the receiver and drive a 4 ohm speaker I might say look out you could cause your amp to switch off from overheating or tripping a fuse. You will be fine and if anything you'll have a little bit more presence from your middle channel now and maybe adjust it down a tad in your setup if it's too much.

Speaker impedance limits are really determined by your amplifier / receiver. The switch should not care whether your speakers are 4, 6, or 8 ohms. However, you may notice, if mixing speakers with different impedances, that when played simultaneously, one pair is louder than the other.

Maybe. The more speakers that you connect the lower their effective impedance as seen by the amplifier. And the lower the effective impedance the higher the current that the amplifier must generate in order to drive the speakers to a specific listening level without distortion. Most speakers, particularly the less costly ones, have a nominal 8 ohm impedance. So if you are driving one set of such speakers the amplifier will be seeing an 8 ohm load. But if your amplifier is driving 2 sets of such speakers the amplifier will be seeing 1/(1/8 + 1/8) = a 4 ohm load; if your amplifier is driving 3 sets of such speakers the amplifier will be seeing a 1/(1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8) = 2.7 ohm load, etc. With 6 speakers your amplifier will be seeing a 1.3 ohm load. And this would be a nominal and typically maximum load; in practice the load fluctuates depending on frequency and is effectively lower for short periods of time. Some amplifiers are designed to drive such low loads but many are not. If you try to do that with such a low current amplifier for a long period of time you will burn up the amplifier. That is why speaker selectors like this one have a protection button which basically adds a resistance in series with the speakers in order to increase the impedance seen by the amplifier. This will reduce the overall efficiency and you will notice that you have to increase the volume to get the same amount of sound as with the protection button off. So, if your amplifier has a sufficient current capability to drive those 6 speakers to your desired listening levels, great. If it doesn't, and if the listening level is too low for your tastes with the protection button on, you will need to either settle for lower volume or get a more powerful amplifier.

yes they can, but you need to be aware of the Impedance. if you daisy chain 2) 8 ohm speakers you get 16 ohms if you parallel them you get 4 ohms

Yes. Two each per channel would give you a 4 ohm load per side. You will have to run the amplifier in the stereo mode. That amplifier is stable to 2 ohms. You should have good results.

I am using a pyle PWMA3003T Hybrid amp, this amp supports 8,4,2 OHM. This amp works very well with these speakers, loud, clar, and will not over power speaker.

I haven't run 6 ohm speakers myself but have read dozens of reviews from people who have. This receiver is excellent and I recommend it. According to the community at large you will be fine driving 6 ohm impedance speakers with this receiver.

This amp will rock for what you have planned. You should be able to run 2 bookshelf 6" speakers no problem.

The question should be what are the impedances of your speakers. According to the Installation Guide "As more pairs of speakers are connected to a receiver the overall system impedance becomes lower. Ex: 2-pairs of 8-ohm speakers lowers the impedance to 4-ohms" The Niles allows impedance correction. It will handle 3 or more pairs of 8-ohm speakers protecting he receiver from low impedance loads.

as long as you have an amplifier you can pair any passive speaker with compatible resistance ie does the amp support 2 ohm, 4 ohm, 8 ohm etc. but these speakers are best left to create a mini sound stage in a moderately sized room.
