Is it possible to use a 4 channel amp to drive more then 1 speaker per channel without frying both the amp and/or the speakers? The amp I'm lookin to run is an RF501x; I'm pretty new to this I just want to make sure w/ you guys that know your sh*t. The amp will run 125 RMS x 4 @ 2ohms so If i wired up a pair of speakers in parallel I assume there shouldn't be any problems and each speaker on the channel will run at or around 60RMS. Does that sound about right or am I completely off, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Posts: 12 | From: NJ | Registered: Sep 2003

I didn't look up the full spec list for that amp but...
If you wire two 4 Ohm svc subs together in parallel it will create a 2 ohm load which that amp can handle each channel. Each speaker would get about 62 watts RMS. Theoretically, you could wire 8 svc 4 Ohm speakers to that amp & it would be safe.
Just remember, the gain control is not a volume control, set it properly. ALL amps become less & less stable the lower ohms they see
