RE: 2 Amps, one set of speakers ?...

Here is my suggestion-
Yes you can hook-up 2 amps with 1 set of speakers.....but why?
You can do a lot of damage without even trying.
The load from one (the working) amp goes to the speaker BUT it can also continue on to the 2nd (non-working) amp and that can be trouble.

Speaker selector switch...NO. Does not solve the issue/problem.

Audio Video Selector Switch Box Splitter...BINGO!

This how I compare amps....you connect your amps (input) to the selector box and you select which amp you want to use and the other amp(s) are in no way in trouble.
The output connects to your set of speakers.

The speakers get the direct signal with NO potential of passing the signal on to any other amp.

It works, it is inexpensive and easy to hook-up.

Bottom line...do it this way and be safe.

That is my .02

Good luck.


music has the power to make you happy
