How Many Speakers can be connected??

TLondon Unregistered guest	Posted on Tuesday, March 01, 2005 - 13:45 GMT I have a sherwood ax-7030-100w 4 channel amp. it says on the rear that when connecting speakers from all channels, that the impedance is 8 ohms. Does this mean that i could do the following: 1.connect 4 8 ohm speakers 2.connect a pair of 8 ohm speakers to channel A, and parallel connect 2 pairs of 4 ohm speakers to channel B 3. Parallel connect 2 pairs of 4 ohm speakers to channels A and B. Totalling 8 speakers If this IS possible, will the amp still work at full power? and what power rating should the speakers be? Thanks for any advice. It's much appreciated T, London

Connect them in series to keep to the 8 ohms. May not be as loud as you hope that way though.
