Hello,
I would like to know how to connect 2 amplifiers together without knowing which one to use as a preamplifier.
My equipment: an Onkyo TX-SR602E home theater amplifier
a Pure Audio Advance Acoustic MAP 305 II amplifier
a CD MP3 player Advance Acoustic MC 203 II
4 CABASSE 8 Ohm 100 W speaker columns
2 small Onkyo speakers 8 Ohm 80 W
a TRIANGLE Météor subwoofer 100 W
I have all available connections;
What would you recommend for setting up the best possible performance while trying to achieve good sound quality with optimal power usage, allowing for a switch between home cinema and pure audio without inconvenience?
Thank you,
you can also contact me on my instant messaging at this address; valouu14@hotmail.fr
Best regards, Valouu14.

You can connect 8Ω speakers to an amplifier that requires 6Ω, but you should avoid doing the opposite. An amplifier is designed to output current at a specific impedance; if you don't adhere to it, it will deliver too much current and the amplifier will overheat and may blow if it's not protected.

Thank you for this information, but my question is how to connect my entire hi-fi system. Do you have a suggestion or a diagram? Which one should I connect to the preamp, and how do I connect them?
