Can I hook up 3 sets of speakers (6 speakers all 8 ohms) using this switch? 105 watts/ch receiver

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

We hooked up 2 sets one for upstairs and one for downstairs. And yes there is another open set.

i have this receiver and love it. I power 3 zones with it. All you need is speakers for zone 2 and 3. No additional amplifiers needed as all 3 zones are powered by the receiver itself. if you run 2 sets of speakers per zone, make sure your speakers have an impedance matching the receivers impedance. Do your research about how to connect them to not generate the wrong impedance. Connect speakers in series: add up impedance and you are on the safe side. If your wiring does not allow to connect them in series, make sure each of the 2 speakers you connect in parallel have double the impedance than the minimum impedance your receiver can support. Example: minimum impedance 8Ohms means you could either run 2 speakers each 4 ohms or higher in series (totals to 8 Ohms or higher) OR 2 speakers 16 ohms or higher in parallel (totals 8 ohms or higher).

Impedance it selected at the Amp or Receiver, I don't see why not. I have all 8 Ohm speakers, so this is not an issue for me. You can't mix/match 8/6/4 Ohm. Hope this helps!

No this crossover needs 8ohms of resistance and the pioneer speakers are 6ohms. I would not recommend doing what you are saying. This crossover is for a single 3-way speaker rated at 8ohms.

from my understanding your speakers ohms should not be lower than your receiver/amp. This will have your receiver working overtime to power those speakers which may casue overheating. For a 8 ohm receiver the lowest I would go would be 6 ohms; I think 4 ohms is pushing it.

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.

Hi, if you notice the picture which show the receiver's rear, you'll see you can use 6-16&#937; speakers. If your sub is powered, you should be fine.

Yes, you should be able to power your 8 ohms speakers. Just don't daisy-chain another set of speakers.

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.

You can, but it will change the ohm rating if you use two or more pairs of speakers. The manual lists what ohms and wattage changes occur with each combination of buttons will be very clearly, unfortunately I can't seem to find it right now. I have only run one pair of speakers at a time personally.

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).

I would imagine you can. This has circuitry protection built into it to protect it. I don't think it would matter the wattages as long as it's a balanced system between the 6 pairs of speakers.

It will, but check the impedance of the speakers (measured in Ohms or Ω) and make sure they fall within 2 and 8. Wiring the speakers in parallel cuts their impedance in half, so if they are wired that way make sure it doesn't go below 2Ω. Two 8Ω speakers would be ideal, coming out to a total impedance of 4Ω.I would honestly get a less powerful amp or get this one and some better speakers. This thing puts out 200 watts--split that between your two speakers and it's still 100, nearly double their 60-watt power handling limit. Turn the volume up a little past halfway and you will eventually melt your speaker's voice coil.

Im by no means an expert but you can use the 8ohm output. However it may not produce enough volume to drive 8 speakers without distorting. The 70v is what I use to drive a 7 speaker setup in a restaurant.

What is your receiver's impedance rating? If you run at least two pairs of 6 ohm speakers then you must activate the protection switch. Check the impedence of your speakers at http://www.nilesaudio.com/techsupport/calculator/index.php

The selector allows for two sets of speakers to be selected at the same time; however, you will want to check the owner's manual of your receiver and/or the selector to make sure that the impedance is correct for your speakers. If not, you risk blowing speakers and/or damaging your receiver. This selector is not powered and does not have the ability to amplify the speaker signal to multiple speakers, it is only a selector switch.

No, A/B & A or B combination switch is not is not adequate for a 5 speaker set up. You need a speaker control (switchable) that gives you the option of A/B/C/D. You can engage one at a time or all 4 at once. Each individual terminal will allow you to connect 2 speakers to each channel. If you have a hi powered system be sure to purchase a high power rated speaker controller. Most decent ones are rated to at least 100 w/ RMS.
