more help

hi there, need some expert advice

i have 4 sets of speakers all wired up and ready to be plugged into my sony hifi amp (old one) - it has A/B speaker outputs so I can connect 2 sets of speakers

how can i connect all 4 sets of speakers up to the amp? can i get a splitter of some kind?

thanks

 

you could just twist the cable together at the amp end
(make sure you get +ve and -ve the right way round of course!!!)


your amp will be working like a son of a bitch to power both speakers, so it will probably struggle.

If its set up for A or B speakers, Id personally keep it that way and have one set playing at a time.

Hope I havent mis-read the post?
Cheers

well...i really don't want to do that because i'll end up blowing the amp which has happened to people before so i'm told!!

 

Another alternative if you dont want to go that route is to attach a second power amp.

This is easily done as Im sure you know if you have a pre-out..

About whether the amp would pop or not if pushed too hard, well I guess that would depend on the speakers your using, the amps power, and the type of protection it has/hasnt got... if youre worried about wiring the cables together then I wouldnt get a splitter cable. Its just the same thing.

i think i'll go for the power amp route, any suggestions as to which one is cheapest?! not looking to spend too much cashola on this

 

I cant answer that one really, I'd say anything from 30 quid to 300,000!

You never know, you might get something that sounds better than the integrated amps power amp section, and use that on your main speakers!
