Yes, if its stable to 2 ohms.

Just wire 2 in parallel to each channel.

So if I got a 100x2 at 2ohm stable amp and wired in parallel, all speakers would get 100watts or 50?

If its 50x2 at 4 0hm, 100x2 at 2 then each will get 50 watts.

wait a sec Fishy...

if he has four 4ohm speakers and wires em all in parrallel, that will be a 1ohm load. So a 2ohm stable amp wouldnt work in this case.

something like an orion hcca G4 would work though. they are 1/2ohm stable.

but if hes running 2 (4ohm) to each channel(2)that would make it 2ohms to each channel, 50x2 at 4ohms, 100x2 at 2ohms, when wired 2 to each chanel, each would get half (50)

Yeah I hope he's not thinking about bridging a 2 channel amp into a 1 ohm load.

That wouldn't be good.
