Hooking up components w/ differing impedance + power ratings

Asked Sep 14, 2010, 08:06 AM —
Please Help me out!
I have been assembling a motley assortment of audio components and I would love to hook them up together in a sound system that sounds at least reasonably good. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what I am doing (or if it even can be done) so I would really appreciate any advice and or suggestions. This system would be oriented around blasted house and dubstep music at ungodly volumes (in case that is at all relevant)

Right now I have:

2 pioneer CS-A5000 RMS 40W max 120W into 6.3 ohms
1 altec lansing ACS340 computer subwoofer (has its own amp and power supply)
2 optimus STS-100 RMS 50W max 100W into 8 ohms
1 RP-9520 boombox speaker ?W into 6 ohms
2 Sony MHC-EC55 boombox speakers 65w into 6 ohms

The inputs for all of these are just speaker wire except for the sub which has an audio cable protruding from the back.



Would it be possible to use combinations of series and parallel wiring to compensate for the impedance and power differences? And what kind of receiver should I get?
