I think this will work but I would like to hear from you guys what you think. All speakers are mounted in the ceiling.
I would like to connect x6 (or x3 stereo sets) of 8ohm speakers in 2 zones (x4 speakers in zone 1, x2 speakers in zone 2) to a 4ohm minimum stereo amp. Zone 1 would be wired with the speaker sets in series to provide a total impedance of 16ohms and be on the "speaker A" set, zone 2 would be wired directly to the "speaker B" set. So in A or B, A would see 16ohm and B would see 8ohm, in A+B the receiver would see 5.33ohms. The only negative, that I'm aware of, of putting the zone 1 speaker sets in series would be effectively reducing their power. If this is the only negative, I'm okay with that as the multiple speakers are for more even sound distribution only. All of these speakers are really just for ambient music.
Would this be ok? Is there anything I'm neglecting/missing?
