I want to find the best way of installing a particular system in a
public venue.

I am installing a Technics amp with normal Stereo output (+- L and +-
R)
I have to send the audio thru the amp to 12 separate speakers across a
sprawling venue.


You can series/parallel the speakers to present an acceptable load to
the amplifier. But it's a kludge, and a fault in one speaker or one
connection will very likely bring the whole system down.

The right way to do it is with 70v speakers.
