Can I use this device to power a Sonos Connect:amp? I have six pairs of speakers connected to sonos amp through a speaker selector with impedance matc

Yes, sure. The Sonos Connect is designed to be hooked up to an external power amp. I used to have a setup just like yours, sort of a poor man's multi-room Sonos setup. I just hooked up the Sonos Connect to an external audio receiver (that had a built-in amp of course) and it worked fine. It's a bit less elegant than having a Sonos system in each room, but it worked well.

Sonos Bridge males things easier, but Connect works fine, I have my speakers working with Connect.

Well I connected it to my onkyo system and worked fine ! Don't really know about the Sonos system req but if it can drive the speaker you will hear nice sound!

I wouldn't suggest it this is a 4 channel amp you would be better off with a mono if you want more power get 2 amps and bridge them together also depends on if you are wiring the speakers to the amp also.

This is not an amp. It takes an output to speakers and can run different sets of speakers. If you do not have enough power in your receiver to run the speakers it will not work. Each time you turn on a set of speakers it will drop the power by a percentage. Some receivers can not handle more then three sets.

Yes but this should handle all of your speakers. Are you setting up more than 7?

You'd need the cheaper Sonos Connect, which has "RCA out" plugs. Those plugs can be connected to your powered PC speakers with a cheap RCA male to 3.5mm female adapter cable.

Presumed you want to use on a powered speaker having a receiver or amplifier. Yes you can use this by connecting it to auxilliary input. Hope this helps

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.

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.

Actually, we have 18 speakers running through our speaker selector, from this receiver. Of course we do NOT run them all at the same time. We have four old Mach I speakers we use together in one room, otherwise we usually use two pair, one pair per room at the same time. We have doing this for a couple years now without issue. Of course, you can decided what total impedance you have based on your speakers, and set the impedance switch on the amp, and possible on your speaker switch if it also has one.

I believe you can use the input/thru XLR on this to pass back to an amp that powers the passive speakers. But this will NOT power your passives, if that's the question.

It would depend on the amount of speakers you are hooking up and the wattage I have a four channel personally but have it set to only power two speakers so If I decide to upgrade my system again I have the ability to do so

You can connect all the left speakers together and wire them into the left speaker connection. Same w right. You can also pig tail each if you like. The system was built for 1 pair 1 zone, but people in the real world who want the benefits of sonos and don't have the dollars to do 1 zone per speaker pair do this all the time.Just note: 1 Sonos = 1 Zone. That is the price for the shortcut.

The Fosgate has a 400 Watt peek and after you do the math of the RMS it totals up to 380 RMS but, I'm sure the max watts of each of your speaker should be high the RMS you specified. I don't know which speakers you have plus, how you plan to connect 6 speaker on amp that has 4 channels. It make a big difference and you're not giving enough information to give you the proper answer.

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 should. I am running 6 pairs of speakers wired in parallel (3) each zone of the amp, A & B. Each room has its own volume/ on off impedence matching control so I can only use the speakers in the room I want. I do have issues with the amp cutting out when the volume level is set too high (above level 40) but not an issue as I control the volume individually in the rooms anyways. Still very loud, just have to balance the load properly. I first bought the amp to work with a cheaper 6 zone switch but I burnt that switch out. I belive my impedence controlling room controls were causing issues and it overheated.
