Hook up speakers

Description:

I have a speaker system throughout my apartment, but a few rooms are not hooked up to the receiver. Please come over and figure out what needs to be done to get the other speakers working, and then fix it. I have the speaker wire, but you'll need tools as well as the ends of the speaker wire, and possibly something to split the sounds into multiple cables. I hope that makes sense, but let me know if it doesn't.

Shelby: How many speaker sets? How many of them already work? Does this involve drilling holes in the walls or tacking wiring to the walls or can you handle the cosmetic side of it?
.
Bidding runners: please be aware of the impedence of the various speakers in the rooms and the drive range allowed by the receiver. Use an L-Pad to present a constant impedence where a sound level control is wanted. Don't be afraid to make a speaker network with both serial and parallel connections to keep the amp happy.

Hi Duncan-

There are 3 speakers that are currently working, and 3 more that need to be connected. Each speaker already has a connection (all of the connections are located together on one panel near the receiver), so all this entails is splitting the current output from the receiver to attach to all of the speaker to their respective connection. No drilling is necessary and there's no need to worry about cosmetic issues. Did that answer your question?

Thanks-

Shelby
