I have some pc/home theater speakers, which is 2 channel for 2 speakers, what happens if I connect 4 speakers to it? nothing?
it will work but each speaker will have not enough watts just leave it with 2 speakers becuase thre is less of a load on you amplifier plus 2 speaker with enough watts sound soo much better than 4 with not enough watts because once you turn it up with 4 speaker it will distort and sound like garbage but if you leave the 2 speakers hooked up they will recieve the proper wattage and you stereo will sound much better.
a 4 channel amp is made for 4 audio equipment. reckoning on the ability score of the amp that you've, and the ability take care of of your audio equipment, you need to make certain a thanks to connect them. you want to somewhat overpower the audio equipment with your amp. that way you not in any respect underpower the speaker. yet when your amp is a lot less powerful than your speaker coping with power, you are able to bridge 2 channels to make 2 channels that are two times as powerful as a unmarried channel. you are able to connect the mono for your subs, and the actually thanks to draw close in the journey that your alternator is taking a stress is that if after a lengthy time period the battery dies. then you extremely ought to ought to purchase a extreme preformence alt.
Depending on how you connect the 4 speakers as 2 (most likely in parallel), this will halve the impedence and increase the load on the amplifier. The increase in load will in time overheat the amp and burn it. Don't do it.
As suggested 4 speakers to a stereo amp will halve the impedence to to 4 ohms. HOWEVER, if the amp is of decent quality it should be stable to that imped. It may even say on the back that it stable to that rating. try it out and see if your amp gets really hot or goes into protect mode, if it does you can not do it. I have done this many many times before and you should not damage the amp forever by trying this once.
If you're not sure, don't do it! Your amp may not be able to handle half of the impedance (4 Ohms or less) than just one pair of speakers would dra
