Does this really have 4 channels (4 independent inputs driving 4 separate outputs)? Or is it a stereo amp which can drive two speakers per channel?

If this is the amp you're talking about we never hooked it up so I'm afraid we won't be much help we ended up not needing an amp at all we just replaced our speakers

Yes and no its only a 2 channel amp meaning 2 + and - for 2 speakers you would have to put 2 speakers on each + and -. Like both front and both rear on a + and -.

It only works on one channel at a time. So it would not work for 2 inputs at once.

Assuming your 2 speakers in each zone are in stereo, no. For 6 zones, you would need 12 channels (2x6), and this amp is only an 8 channel amp. If however you only had four zones, yes--this amplifier has individual inputs for each 8 channels but keep in mind that is does not provide switching so whatever device (input) is plugged into that 'zone' will be the one played--you can not switch inputs without plugging and unplugging cables in the back. If you wanted easy switching, you would need a seperate pre-amp/switcher kind of device to do that. (And to clarify for others, you can also plug in stereo inputs and the amp can internally cascade the same signal throughout all 8 channels (in stereo x4).

It's a 2 channel output rated at 12 watts per channel. It would work on 2 speakers, but nowhere near their potential. If you tried paralleling two speakers per channel you would get an impedance mismatch. If I were you, I would look for an amp with 4 channel out put and, maybe more power per channel. Don't exceed the power rating of your speakers though, or you could blow them out and damage your amplifier.

it is only one channel amp but get a dual channel the boss should do good to power two speakers.

the amp will drive 4 audio channels but you need to look at the specs to make sure it'll give you the performance you expect.

It's really only useful if you're going to do active equalization. i.e. if you're going to bi-amp your speakers. So, if you will have one amplifier for high frequencies and another one for lows, driving two separate speakers (not one input - two separate feeds into your speakers - 4 terminals)

Hi, I purchased this amp for a two channel configuration, and I am very happy with the results; it has much more power and more fidelity than an integrated receiver. I think that maybe you only have to configure your system to provide the same power level to all the speakers; if not, the front speakers will sound louder than the rest. Regards.

It is a mono out amp. It will sum a stereo input to a mono output. It's been a great subwoofer amp for my application.

Not sure it has the power to drive more speakers than just a single pair. If you are asking whether it could be used as an amp to drive a remote pair of speakers for some other system, that would work, although this is not the most high fidelity amp you are ever going to hear. It is decent as a computer amp, but it does not have really high fidelity unfortunately. I retired it to iPod duty...

You're right, this isn't an audio amplifier. It's a decoder so you can mix and match different outputs/inputs like coaxial, optical and switch between two channel, (2.1) and five channel, (5.1). Solv es many connection problems between different equipment.

I would read the manual. I used to do this for a living and frankly I can count on one hand the number of multi channel amps that I installed that had to have all 4 inputs used. Typically there's a set that you can use as two channel inputs that will provide input to all four channels if you don't have anything plugged into those. And typically these amps that required all four channel inputs were very high end like Zapco, MacIntosh, stuff like that.

I don't really understand your question ... this system takes 1 ONE Output from a stereo device and will distribute to up to 4 FOUR pairs of speakers. What do you mean by FOUR receivers?

Hello,It is fully 7.2 ready, which means that it has 7 discrete amplifier channels (front left, center, front right, surround left, surround right, rear left, rear right) as well as 2 sub (low level, requires amplified sub) outs. You can also enable bi-amp setup by using the additional 2 speaker hookups.Sean Garland

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.

Yes. This thing can turn a stereo source(2 channels) into an 8 channel source. You can actually have all speakers produce the exact same thing, or have a pseudo surround sound effect.
