if I get a 2ohm stable amp stereo , how do I wire 4 4ohm speakers into it, so that the speakers are 4 ohm and the amp is 2?

Re: wring

Yep - 2 4-ohm speakers parallel (basically hook positives together and negatives together) will look like 2 ohms to the amp. Sounds like you want to hook 2 speakers together this way for your left channel and the other 32 speakers this way for your gith channel. You won't be able to fade the speakers, though (you'll need a 4-channel amp for that)...

Re: wring

Either way would work just fine, it's probably easier to wire both speakers to the amp terminal though unless the speakers are mounted right next to each other.
