Amplifier 2 Ohm Question

OK, I might just sound like a retard by asking this, but I just wanted to clear up some things.  If you had an amplifier that was like 2 x 100 watts rms @ 2 ohms, does that mean you could run 2 speakers in parallel off of each channel so that you could have 4 speakers getting 50 watts each?  Cause I know that you can do that with a one channel amp with two 4 ohm subs, but I was just wondering if you could do that with multiple channels.  By the way, the speakers are 4 ohm.  Thanks a lot.

Yes, as long as the amp is 2 ohm stable you can hook two 4 ohm speakers in parallel to each given channel on the amp. These two(4 ohm) speakers in parallel will give you a 2 ohm load. It will also work for midrange speakers. If you ever want to hook more than two speakers to a channel and the amp is not 2 ohm stable you can wire the speakers in series. This will lessen the volume from the speakers but it will work and not burn up the amp. Just make sure not to exceed 8 ohms on a channel beacause most cd players and amps have a maxium load as well as a minimum.
