I want to use a receiver to power 5 mono ceiling speakers throughout my home. I know this isn't the preferred way, but I'm looking to do it as cheap as possible.
Currently, there are 5 speakers placed individually throughout the home with speaker wire running to a receiver. I would like to take 2 channel stereo from the receiver and distribute it to 5 mono channels.
I don't have volume control at each speaker, but I wouldn't mind having it for each speaker at the receiver. What I envision is a speaker distribution hub with built in volume control, instead of having to have wall plates for each channel.
The hubs I've found have no volume and are all stereo out. I imagine I can just use the positive from right and the negative from left to send mono to the speakers, but what about the volume and impedance?
I hope this hasn't been already posted. But, I did search the forum fairly well before posting and didn't see anything.
Thanks in advance.
