Just out in a very simple outdoor audio addition to a sonos system. Added a Sonos connect amp and two russound rock speakers. Just happened to be for my sister. When done she asks if they can add "one more speaker" to the yard at a later date.
I know that sonos connect amps are stable to 4 ohm. Done quite a few without incident. I always avoided a "lopsided" connection (on all amps)... One where one channel sees 8ohm, and the other sees 4ohm. I know there are all kinds of gizmos like mono mixers and summing vc's that can be used.
Any harm in simply loading the amp lopsided.
If the amp uses discreet components and the two channels are separate, it should be OK, as long as it's happy with a 4 hm load. It's not ideal and it will make more of a difference if the system is cranked, but it should work if these conditions are met. If it has an amplifier chip, I would avoid it but again, it depends on how happy it is with a 4 Ohm load.
So the speakers have dual-voice coil drivers?
