home theater system want to run outdoor speakers. The receiver only has the 6 outputs. How do I do this?
I have two 5 1/4" 3 WAY 150 watt outdoor speakers to install. the wire lenght will be about 50 feet per speaker. The home theater system is a Pioneer with a wireless out that says you can only use it with their equipment. they are AV jacks. Could I use some type of amp off these AV outs? or just parallel off one of the surround sound sets? Limited on funds so just something that will work. thanks j

- I would suggest a reciever from a yard sale or a pawn shop. Run the wireless speaker RCA jacks to the CD input on the reciever, preset the volume and then hook up the speakers. Should work like a champ.
- Don't run more than one speaker on one speaker output you'll overload the receiver also make sure you use big enough speaker wire 50' is a fairly long run and you need heaver guage wire for it. You should be able to get a signal for a second amp from someplace
- Don't use more than 1 speaker on each speaker port as the impedance will drop and you will damage the amplifier. Use the AV jack ( tape/MD rec out) to another amplifier to drive your outdoor speakers. This will also enable you to have the sound volume levels suited for outdoor and indoor to your choice.
