OK, just got a house and completly renovating it as i plan to stay here for most my life. Any way, i always fancied having speaker in every room that i could play from my main hifi in the living room.

I have already run cables from the living room to,

the back garden x 2

1 to each of the 2 bedrooms,

1 to the bathroom.

2 to the hall and landing

1 to the kitchen.

That means i have 8 speakers around the home.

plus i will have a full 5 speaker setup in the living room.

Now i was going to just buy 4 cheapish amps for like £60 each, and making them mono with some splitter leads, giving me 8 mono channels out.

then taking an output off my main home cinema amp to feed it all. Would this work?

Any since looking around on here i have noticed there are systems designed for this? Does anyone sell an 8 chaneel amp? if so who.

Also i have noticed on here you can get controlls for each room so you can turn the volume up/down from each room. Who is best for these types of systems? and whats involved with it all?

i'm an electrician by the way if that makes it easier. thanks

I'm in the same situation, so anything we find out, perhaps we can help each other out?

Please see this for more info..Is there a way to get HD whole House AV?

Cheers and good luck.
