Which amplifier should I buy for these speakers?

If I was to buy a 4 way amplifier at 2000W, would the 4 channels be able to power 6 speakers?

• and those 6 speakers would be around 240 peak power and 65-75 RMS. That amp would hold the power of those speakers, rite?

• Answer:

  Depends on the impedance of the speakers and what impedances the amplifier can handle. Lets assume the amplifier packs out 4 x 100W RMS at 4ohms or 4 x 140W RMS at 2ohms. Assuming each speaker was 4ohms impedance you could hook the front two speakers to the amplifiers fronts which would pack out a maximum of 100W RMS to each of the speakers. You could then run the other 4 speakers in parallel which would in turn show the amplifier a 2 ohm load to the rears Using the example about, the rear speakers would be shown 140W RMS per pair and thus 70W RMS per speaker. This would mean that you would have to have a higher gain on the rears to combat the higher load but it would mean that you could run 6 speakers. You just need to be extra careful of clipping if you turn the volume up too much. Hope this helped James :D
