Depending on what connections your amp has, it depends. Bit of a brain
fart, so not structured, sorry! :)

My cheapish Sony amp has A-B speaker switching which allows for a second
set of speakers to be connected (IIRC), and also has a second amplifier
output, which I use to connect my old stereo amp which runs speakers in
my hall, bathroom and kitchen (just as one stereo block, not
individually switched)

I've heard of connecting up an amp to the tape connectors on an AV amp
to get second-room functionality.
