Yes, you can hook up four 6.5" speakers to a single amplifier, but there are some considerations to keep in mind:
Impedance Matching:
Ensure that the total impedance load of the speakers matches the output impedance of the amplifier. For example, if your amplifier is rated for 8 ohms per channel, and you are connecting multiple speakers, you need to calculate the combined impedance.
Series Wiring: Adds the impedance values. For instance, two 8-ohm speakers in series result in a total impedance of 16 ohms.
Parallel Wiring: Reduces the impedance. Two 8-ohm speakers in parallel result in a combined impedance of 4 ohms.
Amplifier Rating:
Make sure the amplifier can handle the impedance load of the connected speakers. If the combined impedance is lower than what the amplifier is rated for, it can overheat or become damaged.
Power Handling:
Check that the total power handling of the speakers does not exceed the amplifier’s output power. Ensure the amplifier is capable of driving all four speakers without distortion or damage.
Wiring Configuration:
Use proper wiring techniques to connect the speakers. Poor connections or incorrect wiring can lead to audio issues or damage.
If you are unsure, consult the amplifier's manual or seek advice from an audio professional to ensure a safe and effective setup.
