Will four sets of speakers sound louder when I use this speaker selector?

no they will be the same as 2. the difference is in the power they will not blow.

You don't get louder but if you space out the four speakers so as to create a sound circle with your couch and tv in the center - the sound is so rich you won't use it for just movie watching. You'll have it on for all TV watching. Ever since I got this, I saved so much money and my old Sherwood is working like a champ with this Monoprice Channel Selector. Just so you know, I paired this with the Yamaha speaker only system with SubWoofer and is got the boom and sound quality of theater that shakes up people (when turned up :-) I can't recommend this more. It allowed me to complete my theater system at a fraction of the costs.Remember to get good speaker wires - don't go cheap on that.

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

This is not an amplifier. It routes power from up to two amplifiers to up to 4 sets of speakers and allows the volume of each set of speakers to be independently set. However, you must be careful not to drop the resistance below the design limits of the amplifier that you use (for example 4 ohms).

Yes you can - There are buttons for 4 sets of speakers A,B,C and D - I have the unit connected to my inside speakers (A) and my deck speakers(D) ... usually I have both A and D selected ... but if we're just on the deck I select just D and if we're inside I just select A - this is a really solid unit and I'm more than pleased - and believe it or not I don't like Radio Shack ... Go for it. And by the way there is no noticeable loss of power when both selected - but if there was I'djust turn the volume up.

Not sure if I understand the question fully but if you are looking to use 4 speakers on a 4 channel receiver, you will do fine. If you decide to place 4 speakers on a 2 channel receiver or amp, it will work but the power and quality are much reduced.

If you run each pair of 8ohm speakers in series this unit wiil run 16 speakers you wont need the selector b abcdut you have to put every 2 pairs on there own zone abcd

Yes, but... When you use a passive splitter like this, there is a drop in volume. If you daisy chain multiple splitters together, each successive splitter will drop the volume further. So the people on the first splitter (where the laptop is plugged in) will hear louder audio than the people on the 2nd splitter. If you do try to do this, connect the 2nd and 3rd splitter both to the 1st splitter (instead of daisy chaining the 1st to the 2nd, and the 2nd to the 3rd). At least that way everyone on the 2nd and 3rd splitters (10 of the people) will all hear the same volume. If the source you're listening to is sufficiently loud, then you should be able to compensate for the loss. I can't say I've ever tried to split a signal out that far though.

Yes, I do the same thing running 2 sets of speakers on the "B" Channel and 1 set on the "A" channel. Shouldn't matter what brand of receiver.

The Sherwood runs 4 sets of speakers by itself works great. By theory you could tap in and run the extra sets as well using the pyle device. Dont know how the volume would be affected.

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.

Yes, as long as you push all 4 zone buttons. Naturally power is distributed and sound is dimmished powering all 4 sets of speakers...

Yes, it should work just fine. If you have four sets of speakers, you will half to have a real strong amp.

Why 5 sets?That's 10 speakers!If your doing a whole house,then no!If your doing a Living Room or Theater Room then yes!

The speakers will not be the same. even with the volume on high it will be very faint.

If you are lucky to get a good set, it will work just fine at a lower volume. But i sent mine back because only 1 speaker was working.

Yes, absolutely. Actually, I rigged the wires of another speaker pair together and plugged it all into the L & R's together to make it have 4 Speakers! Double the sound :)It is loud enough to shake my house at 20 and the max is 30. It is plenty for a small get together.Although, the EQ settings are very basic and I would rate the Stereo's system overall very average maybe a (6.5/10). It sounds nice, but is not a top of the line product honestly. (Also, fyi... "The top cones in both of the blue speakers are dummy speakers.") They are false/fake speakers and there is no magnet behind the two top cones.. They literally just put them for show... I don't know how that is legal, but it's the case. ~Connor Yes, absolutely.

I would suggest NOT. This device is used only for multiple speaker distribution from one amplified source. I am not an "ee", but the reverse logic (4 sources to one speaker source) may appear to work, but you may cause harm to the other sources depending on how the sources were designed. I am not certain why you would want four receivers input to the same system, unless you are operating a store. You should consult a local expert if you are certain you want to do this.
