whole house audio

[Scott Crowther <scrowther@xxxxxxx>]

Having only recently moved to a company working in the HA field,
I am now being unbelievably hooked (but unbelievably poor!), so I'm
thinking of making Whole House Audio my first project, with as little
outlay as possible.

I reiterate (those of you who know me), I am not very technically minded...

I'm happy to run a one-zone system off of my existing hi-fi amp (I
belive its powerful enough), and am happy to attempt cabling in my 1890's
terraced house.

I'm planning to set up speaker-end volume controls, rather than IR
(small house, easy to walk about), but am struggling with impedance
matching(?)

I'm sure I shouldn't connect 6 pairs of speakers straight into my amp,
so how do I avoid blowing my amp to pieces? I won't be daisychaining
my speakers, and my amp only has one output...

Cheers,

Scott.

PS - I'm learning fast by reading all your posts, BUT I struggle with
some of your jargon, although I do know what a grommet is     ;-)
Bear with me.
