This might be a silly question but want to make sure i'm thinking about this situation correctly. If put 24 8 ohm speakers on this amp will i get 45 watts per speaker?
It says 90 watts per channel so if i split that it would be 45 right? Can someone verify or correct me thanks.

It's rated at 50 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 90 per channel at 4 ohms.
If you parallel 2 8 ohm speakers to one channel,that would be 4 ohms/ 90 watts.

If you series them,it would be around 25 watts (16 ohms).

Pilgram, the parallel 2 8 ohm speakers on one channel would split the 90 watts and give 45 watts per right?

sendtobrit, he's only leaving out one trivially logical step from saying exactly that! He says two 8 ohm speakers in parallel, which is a 4 ohm load, would draw 90 watts from the amp. The only thing he didn't come out and say is that two speakers of equal impedance, in parallel, will each get half the power, so, 45 watts. Each.

This is clear, yes?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
