[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2972891, member: 9374"] If the amp is rated to power speakers at 4 ohms, you can wire those 8-ohm speakers in parallel to achieve a 4-ohm load. They will obviously not get the maximum power they can handle, but you probably ARE better off using both sets. If you use one set at 8 ohms, you can expect maybe 100W per speaker. If you add the second set, it drops the impedance, allowing the amp to play to it's potential, while also doubling cone area (assuming same size speakers), so you will have much better output. In short, given the information you've provided, you can easily run all 4 speakers off the amp in question. No worries. [/QUOTE]
