A rookie question re two amps, one pair of speakers
@imhififan how is that not good? You need to be able to switch A/B to disconnect the amp not being used. Unless I missed something...It'll be fine if your careful, and make sure you switch one amp out before you switch the other amp in. Never have both switch in at the same time. Cheers George |
Here is one that you can hook up two amps and two sets of speakers also if you want. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TC-7220-2-Way-Amp-Amplifier-Speaker-Selector-Switch-Switcher-Comparator-Router-/391073502625?hash=item5b0dcc15a1:g:ccgAAOSwPhdU9yws Or you can go the cheap way and use this one back to front. http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-B-A-B-Switch-1-IN-2-OUT-2-Way-Stereo-Receiver-Speaker-Set-Selector-/152373329362?hash=item237a287dd2:g:Q9gAAOSwNSxVbL5- Cheers George |
One amp would be for my 2 channel system and the other (a receiver) would be for my home theater system. So long as I’m not powering both amps at the same time, is it safe/ok/advisable to connect both amps to one pair of speakers?In one word NO!! As one of the amps will be trying to drive the others output stage, even if not on. Unless both amps have a speaker terminal disconnect relay when not on for both + and - terminals, only a tech will be able to tell you. Cheers George |
