Can I run front and rear speakers with this unit? Play A and B speakers at the same time?

Yes you can play the A and B speakers at the same time. I play mine that way. You won't get the "surround sound" because it's a two channel stereo system. I have two speakers in the corner and the tv in the middle and two speakers in the other corner with the couch in the middle. Sounds good to me without all those wires needed for the surround system. Plus I'm not a fan of the sub-woofer systems. I have one for my computer but if I really want to hear good sound I will run the computer through the Marantz and ((((((B O O M)))))), music and movies are excellent!!!...

Yes, but the PM 6004 is strictly a two channel stereo amplifier. You will not get a surround sound effect. I use the B to drive speakers in another room.

You can but it must be done very carefully. We recommend calling to discuss with one of our specialists at 1-800-449-8333.

I think is you press both the A and B speaker buttons so that they both light up, you can run both sets of speakers at the same time.

Yes you can. Specs say the amp is 2,4, or 8 ohms. Just don't mix on the A channel or B one 2 ohm and one 4 ohm speaker. If your going to install say the front speakers. Make sure they are the same ohms on the left and right. Same with the back speakers.

No you can not connect multiple and unless you hooked up the transmitter to front channel speaker outputs, that would make no sense to have multiple surrounds in various rooms. and lets say u did find a way to connect multiple fx to one transmitter and ran it from front channel outs, the fx is not designed (driver freq. response, placement, etc.) to be used as a proper front channel. i believe this is what you had wanted to do, right?

I was under the impression that this was intended for use with rear channel only. I don't know how well it would work with front channel speakers or, really, why you would want to.

I tried it when initially setting up my system and it worked. I had the two long front speakers hooked up as the back and the sound was fine. I've since changed it back as I found two older speaker stands for the designated back speakers.

During the setup process you are asked whether you have front height speakers or surround back. You would probably plug the 2nd front into surround back and select that you do have front height.

If you're not concerned with the separating the sound of left, right, front and rear speakers, sure. You'll just have a mono channel running all of your speakers the same. I have a different 4 channel amp powering my component speakers and this amp powering 2 Kenwood shallow 12's. Sounds great!

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.

yes but you'll still need two more speakers ( three front, two rear and two high or low front or back)

You sure could. You would need to take the Front Stereo channels (L/R) output from your amp, disconnect them from the current speakers and connect them as inputs to this selector. Then you could connect up to four pairs of speakers (even the one currently connected to the amp) to the selector outputs. Each pair could then be turned on/off individually, and thus you would have the option to restate your current setup. Do note that this equipment is passive, thus it does not amplify the signal, it only divides whatever audio signal comes in between the various speaker pairs. Most receivers those days, however, have plenty of power to drive several speaker pairs at decent sound volumes. If you are going to drive stereo speakers in the manner described above, be sure to set your receiver to stereo/2-speakers (out of surround) otherwise you will find the sound distorted in the other room.

Straight stereo receivers have speaker A/B buttons that allow you to do that. Surround sound receivers don't usually. If you want to use this unit that way you'll have to run the front left and right speaker wires into an external speaker selector box and then from there run two more sets of wires to wherever you want to place the speakers.

Yes. There are connections on the back for 2 pairs of speakers and a button on the front that lets you play A speakers, B speakers, A+B speakers or no speakers.

Frank, there is no "A" or "B" speakers, just "Front". If you need to wire a second zone, you have to connect the speakers to the upper front or surround back input, I don't remember well right now. Regards and good luck.

Yes. I have two sets of 8 ohm speakers...one set on A, the other on B. Can play either independently or can play them both. Just push front button for A, B or both. BTW - two features I really like is the ability to access Pandora from internet, and the sleep timer feature.

Yes, this will run a component system. You will want to run your dash mount tweeters off of the same source as your front speakers, but insert a filter to split the highs from the mids/lows in the doors to get the best sound from both sets of speakers.

Because they are separate channels im sure you could do this with no problem. Although doing that will cause a big in-balance of music in your car because your pushing a lot more power to the rear speakers causing them to be louder than the front, if you want more bass think about dropping the sub down to 2ohm

As long as the head unit is 2 ohm stable it won't hurt anything BUT it is impossible to tune properly as the rear speakers will experience twice the power as the front speakers. You can turn the back down but their response will not be balanced. There are a number of ways to try to balance it but I am never satisfied with the results. You can put another pair of 2 ohm speakers in back and wire them in series so that the amp or head unit experiences 4 ohms and the speakers have to share the power...My two cents
