How Many? Two males + two females?

I have two awesome female piggies. The other day I met these two awesome male piggies, and I want to bring them home. Would it be ok to have two sows and two boars together, or would the boars fight iver my girls?

You can have multiple females with one male, but never multiple males with any number of females, one or many. The males will fight over the females even if they themselves have been neutered.

However, breeding guinea pigs is a dangerous proposition. They're susceptible to a number of painful, even fatal, genetic diseases. The death rate for both sows and pups is high, in part because pups are so large in relation to the sow. Please do not put males and females together unless either the male or all the females have been neutered.

That’s what I thought, I just wanted to be sure
