Speaker switches

turk99 · 2nd June 2006, 07:51 PM

My Stereo has A B A+B capabilities, so I have two rooms I control for my music. The rooms are in opposites ends of the house, so the speaker wire goes through the basement.

I have a workroom in the basement, and would like to occassionally listen to music down there. Is it possible to get a switch of some kind, so I can intercept the feed from one of the rooms?

Sure, just make sure the switch disconnects the speakers upstairs if you listen in the basement. If you don't you most likely will halve the impedance and your amp won't like that.
