does it handle 4 ohm speakers and two zones "A" and "B"

Hi Stan, it was on someone's wish list and I bought it as a gift, I can't answer your questions, sorry. Trisha

yes it does. We have 4 zones and a speaker selector. On this we have speakers and sub woeffers

It is rated to handle 4 ohm speakers. When my first unit died, however, they kept asking me if I was using 4 ohm speakers and then kept reassuring me that it was able to handle 4 ohm speakers. I don't know what that means, but it gives me pause. It does have two zones.

Yes it does. It will handle to 3.5 ohms but not an ohm less. so don't parallel your speakers, series them. Then you will not have to worry since it will handle up through 16 ohms.

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.

I decided not using zones 2 and 3 since it only works with RCA cables. I use digital cables for better sound quality. And surrounds in main zone area work in all modes except if you select 2 speakers. Good luck

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.

If your amp has a 2 ohm output impedance, it will drive 4 ohm speakers, but you won't be able to attain full dynamic range. I believe this sub comes in a 2 ohm version, just buy that one instead. Or buy 2 4 ohm subs and wire in parallel.

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

Yes. The Mini-x a-100 can drive 4-ohm speakers. Its power rating improves with 4-ohm speakers.

Yes that would work just fine. If you have two speakers you can also run them in parallel safely. (Which drops the load to 4ohms)

You can run zone 1 and 2 at the same time. It's a 9,2 receiver so I guess nine speakers. Two subwoofers and two zone 2 speakers at the maximum. But many other options would be possible.

This amp is stable to a 2 ohm load in a stereo configuration and 4 ohm load bridged. With four speakers with four ohm voice coils it can be done, even with 8 ohm coils but it will put out less power that way. Take two speakers positives and connect to one positive output on the amp and do the same with the negative speaker wires to the negative amp output. This is called hooking your speakers up in parallel, it halves the ohms so the amp will see only 2 ohms. Conversely if you hook up speaker one's positive wire to the amp positive output, then hook that speakers negative to speaker two's positive and then speaker two's negative back to the negative output on the amp is called hooking them up in series. It doubles the ohm load and the amp would see an 8 ohm load from two 4 ohm speakers and put out even less power/noise. This bit of knowledge is needed to know what impedance speakers you need to buy for the amp you want.

you can only hook up 4 speakers to this stereo, ch a left and right, and ch b left and right and a sub woofer, make sure the speakers are 8 ohms

I don't think so. You'd use the switch if you wanted to selectively drive 2 PAIRS of speakers from the 2nd zone. The switch would allow you to drive Pair A or Pair B or A+B.

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

J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening. I just pulled up your question and I am willing to guessthat this amplifier is capable of driving 2, 4, 8, 12 ohm speakers as directed by the purchaser.The reason for my positive response, and I am driving Bose 301's and rebuilt Infinity 3000's, isthat any speaker set up is not a mix and match situation. Go with the speakers you have installedbut do not cross/mismatch the ohms; a quick check of each speaker will save you trouble down theroad. I believe that I am running, 12 total, 8 ohm speakers which I play at volume 50-60. My Jazzsounds terrific! J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening.

The unit has four zones, if you need more than that you can run your wires from the out to speakers from any one of the 4 zones to the input on the Pyle unit. I have used this unit several times and it is a great one for just music.

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).

Yes, I believe. The sub has dual coils and are each 4 ohm I believe. But if I remember my audio correctly, which I think I'm wrong, is when the coils are wired up, it adds to a 2 ohm speaker. Idk. But I am pretty sure that the coils are both 4 ohm. Hope this helps
