I'm running a Dennon 5.1 receiver about 500W over 5 channels or 4 channels when in Stereo mode. I think its more watts on the front channels.
Anyway, I have patio speakers I run off the B switch on the receiver now. I want to add 2 or 4 Speakercraft 820 ROX out by the pool and spa. I was looking at the Phoenix Gold speaker switch boxes and this is where the confusion starts.
I want to run all 6 patio speakers at the same time AND the main in house pair(they are all 8 ohms). Should I get the dual source Phx Gold so I can use all 4 Dennon channels or just get the single souce? OR???
The Phx Gold switch says it has buit in amp protection which I would assume compensates for the extra load of running all those speakers.
I don't want to overload my receiver so I want to be sure and do it right.
Thanks in advance.
