Dear All - This is my first post and new to this community.

We are in the process of upgrading our Audio system in our church as we just moved to our new building. 

We bought new amplifier and speakers.  I have attached the specification here for amplifier,  200 watts speaker.  This amplifier has 2 zones and speakers are 8 Ohms.

Please help me how to connect 3 200 watts in one zone which means i need to use 2 zone for 3 200 watts speaker in each zone.

That is a unique last name.  Is it Norwegian?  Just kidding.  You have to use your real first and last names on the forum to get answers.  Also, please clarify your needs.  It was a little difficult to follow.

What are the actual make & model of the speakers & amplifier?

Are the "zones" different rooms, or just areas in the same room?

The connections would be amp (speakon) to sp1 (speakon), sp1 (speakon) to sp2 (speakon), sp2 (speakon) to sp3 (speakon).  Repeat for 2nd zone.  There are variations and options, but not enough info to offer.

Yes its on the same room. Yes amp and speaker will be connected thru speakon

I guess I did not understand the question then.  What do you want to know?

It sounds like you want to connect 2 amplifier outputs to (3) 8-ohm speakers. Or you want to bridge amplifiers and connect them to 3 parallel speakers.
If that is your question, yes it may work but your amp spec doesn't show you output going below 4 ohms when bridged.  If you connect all 3 speakers in parallel, you should have an impedance of 2.66 ohms. Be careful if you bridge the amplifier you will have an output with plenty of power to damage your speakers. From the specs, it looks like you should be able to power all 3 speakers from a single channel of the amplifier. (that would be my choice.)

Just to clarify: are the speakers to be used in a single cluster or distributed into other locations. I ask because if they are in a cluster and you run 3 on one channel and one on another, then you need to worry about matching the phase of the speakers.
