The Sony STR-5800 is listed as 55 Watts per channel into 8 ohms, so I presume the same vintage STR-4800 would be 35 Watts per channel into 8 ohms (x4 channels = 140 Watts). Most home audio speakers have 8 Ohm impedance.

The STR-5800 specs list 4 Ohm to 16 Ohm speaker capability, but I don't see any corresponding specs for the STR-4800. Be careful, if trying to drive 4 Ohm (car) speakers, this may possibly burn out the STR-4800 if it isn't built to drive the lower impedance speaker.

I can see why you're asking for help on this. It almost seem this unit has been 'disappeared' as far as online information is concerned. Even Sony has nothing on it.

I founs some articles and For Sale posts:

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-Sony-STR-4800SD-Stereo-Receiver-135-OBO-W0QQAdIdZ243602516
"Sony's STR-4800SD receiver was extensively, and positively, reviewed in Stereo magazine's Fall '77 issue. In their introduction, they found the 4800SD bettered its published f.m. sensitivity specs "by a wide margin...it has exceptionally smooth frequency response, very low distortion(especially in the midband), and excellent quieting. No exotic claims are made for the power amp section, either (35 watts/channel,15.4 dBw at 0.2% THD). But our tests indicate much more capability than that, and a distortion of only one-tenth that spec."

The power consumption figure shown in a photo below says "145W", which would be consistent with a 35 watt amplifier.

What size amp do i need to run 4 1000 watt pyle 10's bridged

well first of all you cant bridge subs... you can bridge an amp... and for 2 they are probablly not 1000 watts, make sure you understand RMS and what the sub can ACTUALLY HANDLE properly... i would get a 1000 to 1500 watt RMS that is RMS RMS RMS RMS amp not one that says 2000 watts MAX POWER cuz thats cheap ****... get a kicker JL hifonic alpine or something in that category that actually tells you the TRUE power output of the amp... then run those 4 subs in a parallel circuit so its like really only having 2 subs. make sure then these subs do not run less then 2 ohms at the terminals while in a parallel, then bridge these subs acting as 2 subs not 4 to your TRUE 1000 watt amp and you should have a good powerful system

Dual voice coil wiring to class d amp

The easiest way to think of wiring voice coils and subs is this:
  • Two items of the same impedance in parallel = Half of the impedance
    • 4 ohms in parallel with 4 ohms = 2 ohms
    • 8 ohms in parallel with 8 ohms = 4 ohms
  • Two items of the same impedance in series = Double the impedance
    • 4 ohms in series with 4 ohms = 8 ohms
    • 8 ohms in series with 8 ohms = 16 ohms
In this case, you want to wire two subs, each with dual 4 ohms voice coils, so that the total equals 2 ohms. Your options are:
  • DVCs in parallel, 2 subs in series = 4 ohms
  • DVCs in series, 2 subs in parallel = 4 ohms
  • DVCs in parallel, 1 sub = 2 ohms
With two, dual 4 ohm subs, you can only have 1 ohm or 4 ohm total impedance.
