Speaker selector for inside and outside speakers

Speaker selector for inside and outside speakers

Gina, You just need a speaker selector...it sounds like a 4 pair type. You'll hook up the selector to just the A set of speaker outputs from the Sony and then all the speakers go into the speaker selector box. Take a look at this one for a recommendation.
Name : gina Message : I have a basic sony reciever with 125w x2 and an a/b switch. The a switch controls 2 indoor speakers and the b switch controls 2 outdoor speakers. All speakers are 100w. I want to add two more speakers outside and two more speakers inside so I`ll have 4 outdoor wall mounted and 4 indoor free-standing speakers. Then I want to be able to listen to: 4 outdoor speakers at one time OR 4 indoor speakers at one time OR listen to 2 of the outdoor speakers and 2 of the indoor speakers and control the volume on the indoor speakers because I like the music louder outside than inside. Is this possible with my reciever and some added "little boxes" or should I just buy another reciever and use one for inside and one for outside (and not look foolish)or buy one better reciever and trash my relatively new reciever? If two recievers would be the easiest then can I hook my cd player to both at once. Sorry about the silly questions, but I am "audio challanged" and am too embarased to go to a store and ask these questions. Keep in mind the cost, that I am the installer, yet I don`t want to look seriously foolish to my friends. Humbly, Gina
