Solution
You need two of these little amplifiers for a stereo set up and 5 of these little amplifiers for a surround sound set-up. It is best to stay away from this amp because it looks like something I owned as a kid in the 1950s.
If you want both speakers to play (dual mono not stereo) you can hook the speakers in series and connect them to the com and 8 ohm terminals,
This means connect the common teminal to the minus of speaker 1.
Connect the plus of speaker 1 to the minus of speaker 2.
Connect the plus of speaker 2 to the 8 ohm terminal.

thanks for the answer
 


The 100v pins are when using 100v speakers, it allows very long cable runs like a PA system. TOA are a huge brand for this stuff but each speaker has a transformer in it.
