Whole house audio setup recommendations for a ranch home

Rob, Take a look at this for an overall kind of primer. For a single zone type system, you'd have speaker selector and volume controls. An 8 pair speaker selector like this. Volume controls. That will be impedance matching in the speaker selector and standard volume controls. As for speakers, take a look at these for good `bang for the buck.' For outdoor speakers, these are really good sounding with a nicer bracket. Email back if you'd like to fine tune things.
Name : Rob Schermerhorn Message : To Whom it May Concern: I`m in the budgeting and planning process on the build of a 3600 sq. ft. home. It`s a ranch with a lower walk-out design. I have eight rooms plus a rear outside deck area to wire for whole house sound. Please recommend and quote price and availabitity for a system to meet or exceed my requirements: 8 separate `rooms`, one is outdoors 1 of the indoor rooms is about 600 sq. ft. 2 of the indoor rooms are about 400 sq. ft. the remainder are about 250 sq. ft. each +/- Single channel is one option, yes? Please quote approprately. Do you offer a multi-channel system, one that each individual room could select one of say four input channels? Thank you for your time. Best, Rob Schermerhorn Kalamazoo, MI
