At that kind of audio power level, it's probably not a good idea to work your amp into
a 2 to 1 mismatch. The possible consequences are: > heating the speaker cables, >
lousy fidelity out of the speakers, and distortion on peaks, > getting a lot less power
out of the speakers than you expect, > damaging the power output stage of the amp
if it's solid-state (transistor) and doesn't have protection against a mismatched load.

Technically, you could connect two identical 8-ohm speakers in parallel to the same
4-ohm output connection on the amp, and all the hardware would be happy with that.
But that leaves nothing on the output to the other channel.

Can you run 4 70w speakers on a 150w amp or will it blow?

It's entirely possible to use four 70W speakers with a 150W amplifier but the method will depend on the speakers and the amplifier specification. We will assume that the amplifier will deliver up to 150W per channel, so two speakers will be used on each channel. If the amplifier is rated to drive a 4 ohm load, then two 8 ohm speakers can be wired in parallel and connected. In this instance, take care NOT to drive the amplifier too hard. It will overdrive the speakers at about the same time that it will begin to show a distorted output. This is a condition that can easily damage speakers so be very conservative with the volume control. If the speakers are 4 ohm speakers, they can be wired in series to provide a total impedance of 8 ohms. If the amplifier is rated to deliver 150W into 4 ohms, then the total power to the speakers will be lower than to a single speaker. The benefit is that no speaker can be over-driven and there is a good amount of headroom for safety.


Can a 140 watt stereo power 150 watt speakers?

Yes, the speakers (150W) can handle more power than the stereo (140W) can produce. If it were the other way around (stereo more powerful than speakers), that's when you burn out your speakers.
