I am designing a multi-room system for in-ceiling speakers. I have read through a lot of the other posts out there. One thing I am still not sure about is wiring, especially if I use dual tweeter speakers.
Any thoughts on how I should wire multiple dual tweeters?
Also, in a zone that has 4 speakers, how do people handle right/left channels? Wiring in parallel?
Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean by "dual tweeters"? Your in-ceiling speakers have one speaker terminal for 2 cables - right?
The Amp2 has 2 output channels. If the speakers are REAL 8 Ohm speakers (most are not!, you need to measure at least the DC resistance of these), you can connect 2 in parallel to each output channel. Otherwise you must connect these in line.

By "dual tweeters" I mean the speaker has two tweeters on the inside, and that it takes two sets of wires for one speaker. Something like this:
I have not purchased it yet, but was thinking of something like this for some of my zones. And, having never wired one of these I am not sure if anyone else has experience with these.
But, as for the seconds question, thank you very much. I think that makes sense. Something like this:

Hi,
if you want to connect 4 speakers per channel, that would be correct.
Unfortunately I can't say why the speakers you have linked above have 2 terminals. If one of these is for the tweeters and one for the bass, you would need an additional external crossover. I would not recommend this, as standard crossovers usually don't work well with a specific speaker.
I recommend speakers from well-known brands with integrated crossovers. This type usually has only one terminal.
