Hi all,
I'm new to the forum looking for some help setting up a stereo system. I have a JVC EX-D5 Home audio system in my living room and would like to connect it to a set of Bose 251 Environmental speakers out on my patio. I'd like to be able to switch between indoor and outdoor speakers or both and I'd like to have an outdoor volume control as well. I'm thinking I may need an amplifier to power the Bose speakers but as I am not very knowledgeable about home stereos I'm looking for some help figuring this one out. I consider myself electrically inclined and have wired many audio systems but I am not the best at determining the proper components. The owners manuals read as follows for the specifications:
JVC EX-D5:
Audio Output
Analog sound output:
Speakers x2
Output Power: 18 W per channel, min. RMS, at 4 ohms at 1 kHz with no more than 10% total harmonic distortion
Fitting impedance: 4 ohm to 16 ohm
Digital Sound Output:
Optical x1: -21dBm to -15dBm
Bose 251 Speakers
Compatibility:
Compatible with amplifiers or receivers rated 10-200 watts per channel/ rate 4 to 8 ohms
100W IEC continuous power handling: rated 6 ohms
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information I will do my best to answer. I'm sure you can find any other info about the components by doing a google search.
Thanks!
