I have 4 jensen speakers EHT-8 (2 x 2 pairs, see specs below) and want to connect them to Connect Amp.
My son says if I do this I will blow up the speakers or connect amp. Is he right?
Thankyou in advance.
Brenda

You won't blow up the speakers, but if the volume levels are too high for too long, you could send the Connect Amp into shutdown mode to self protect. After some time it will work again, till the event recurs. But the speakers are efficient given the 91 dB spec, so perhaps this won't happen and is worth a try if your usual listening is not at head banging levels.



See the Sonos instructions for wiring 2 speaker pairs to get it right.



If the Connect Amp does go into shut down, you can prevent recurrence by inserting an impedance matching device between the amp and the speakers, which basically prevents the amp from going too loud into overload.
