Question 1

can i play all 6 speakers at the same time ??

Accepted Answer

Maybe.  The more speakers that you connect the lower their effective impedance as seen by the amplifier.  And the lower the effective impedance the higher the current that the amplifier must generate in order to drive the speakers to a specific listening level without distortion.Most speakers, particularly the less costly ones, have a nominal 8 ohm impedance.  So if you are driving one set of such speakers the amplifier will be seeing an 8 ohm load.  But if your amplifier is driving 2 sets of such speakers the amplifier will be seeing 1/(1/8 + 1/8) = a 4 ohm load; if your amplifier is driving 3 sets of such speakers the amplifier will be seeing a 1/(1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8) = 2.7 ohm load, etc.  With 6 speakers your amplifier will be seeing a 1.3 ohm load.  And this would be a nominal and typically maximum load; in practice the load fluctuates depending on frequency and is effectively lower for short periods of time.Some amplifiers are designed to drive such low loads but many are not.  If you try to do that with such a low current amplifier for a long period of time you will burn up the amplifier.  That is why speaker selectors like this one have a protection button which basically adds a resistance in series with the speakers in order to increase the impedance seen by the amplifier.  This will reduce the overall efficiency and you will notice that you have to increase the volume to get the same amount of sound as with the protection button off.So, if your amplifier has a sufficient current capability to drive those 6 speakers to your desired listening levels, great.  If it doesn't, and if the listening level is too low for your tastes with the protection button on, you will need to either settle for lower volume or get a more powerful amplifier.

Question 2

How Do You Hook A PSS6 Speaker Selector To A Pyle PCAU46A ?

Accepted Answer

I am running an older Technics amp 2x100 6 pairs of speakers at times so I would say yes. Just remember you are putting this amp to a lot of work if you're running 6 pairs of speakers so watch the temps on the amp.

Question 3

Several questions, How do you hook it to your stereo,  I am hard of hearing so I hooked 3speakers to my stereo system,this is hooked to my tv when I turn it up some times it turns off by it self I do not understand that I would like more speakers  all the 5 star reviews makes this product sound real good.  the receiver…

I have speakers throughout my house.  The Pyle Six-zone box allows me to have music in most every room.  Hook each speaker you have to the Pyle and hook the Pyle to your receiver, speaker A or B.  I have mine on B.  Connect your receiver audio to your TV audio.  There is a separate button on the Pyle that you should always keep positioned to on (button in).  That is the easiest I can make it for you.  This box works perfect for me and has never shut off.  Good luck to you.

Question 4

I am installing in-wall speakers in multiple rooms.  My question is what is the best cheapest in-wall volume controller that would work with this speaker selector?

Accepted Answer

Really, as long as you are using 8 ohm speakers the volume control shouldn't matter all that much. As long as you are happy with the quality. I got mine from Radio Shack. I've also seen some at Home Depot. I know Amazon carries some also.
