can i hook up two sets of 8 ohm speakers in parralell to this amp, the speakers are rated at 25 amps

Short answer = No. Long answer = maybe Speakers are rated in Watts==its a Power measurement. Power = I [current in Amps] x Voltage [of the line out from the Amplifier.] http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electrical-formulas-d_455.html The power supply is rated at 24 volts and 5 amps which = about 120 watts to power the unit. The amplifier is not a bridged type amplifier and cannot drive anything less than 8 ohms on one channel. Maximum 50 watts per channel. see --- http://www.daytonaudio.com/media/resources/300-383-dayton-audio-dta-100a-manual-43827.pdf As you wish to put two speakers in Parallel and they are 8 ohms=== then you are lowering the ohm's of the speaker to about 4 ohm's, this is not in the spec for this amplifier. If your speakers are 16 ohm and you put them in parallel then that will be alright === the result of that is 8 ohms, this is how most TV speakers are set up.[ assuming that each is 25 watts.] Remember it is a small amp and to incrementally increase the volume over time to see how it handles it. Else get a different amplifier.

Yes but you might have to bridge them...I have the same amp for 2 15" 2500watt and I'm not using any where near the full potential of the amp

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful

This is a rugged amp with decent signal to noise. It is rated for 215 watts into 8 ohms dual, or 700W bridged into 8 ohms, or 350W into 4 ohms dual or 1100 watts bridged into 4 ohms. You can program the limit to protect your speakers. So, yes. Connect your speakers in a parallel bridge configuration so they show a 4 ohm load to the amp and set your limits to 600 Watts to protect your speakers.

The 6 Ohm setting on the amp should work okay for your nice 8 Ohm speakers. Higher impedance speakers should dissipate less power and consequently might sound a tiny bit quieter than lower impedance speakers at the same volume setting. But I doubt you will notice any difference.

you would put the speaker in series to drop it down to 2 ohms if you parallel it it will come out to 8 ohms check with ohm meter if you don't believe

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

Depend what you are hooking up to this amp make sure your in the right ohm load if not it's best to get 2 amps like this

Yes they are, but if they are wired in series you will get 8 ohms and if they are wired in parallel it would be 2 ohms. So to get the 8 ohms you need, using the 4 terminals on the speaker, connect a wire from the positive terminal on one side to the negative on the other side. Now the 2 wires for the speaker connection ( positive & negative ) would connect up the empty positive and negative terminals that are left. This connection would give you 8 ohms.

50watt rated speakers will work just fine with this amp. Max power into 8 ohms is 30wpc. You can get more power output by using 4 ohm speakers, but unless you're trying to fill a large room or you just like LOUD music 50watt speaker will work.

I'm running 2 8ohm speakers in parallel on each side and it's doing well . hope that helps

This amp has four channels if you are only using two channels it will be 4 ohms per channel.If you are using all four channels it will be 8 ohms per channel.Ensure that the speakers are wired accordingly(most likely series parallel as you have 8 speakers most likely of 8 ohms).The ohms at the amplifier terminals can be higher than 4 ohms per channel but never lower (in 2 channel mode).

Not without running them parallel with another 4 ohms speaker or wiring them to them self in parallel. Individually these r 2 4 ohms speakers

They are 4 ohm speakers. Your receiver should have a L/R & F/R. Their for allowing you to hook up 2 sets.

Yes and the neat thing is if you have paralle conectors on your speakers you can run one cable from the pa to a speaker then, connect the two with another speaker cable to make a 4 ohm load back at the pa. or just plug the two speaker cables out the back and one to each speaker and run in 8 ohms. I have done both with much success.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

Hello. At 4 ohms that amp provide 525 watts. That is plenty so I would just use both channels of your amp, on for each speaker. You would not want to bridge your amp with these speakers as you would then be providing 1550 watts at 4 ohms and would almost definitely blow the speakers. Also if you bridged your amp you would only have one channel. So either you would need two amps, or you would try to daisy chain these speakers and I don't believe that amp will work at 2 ohms.
