Speaker Selectors and Misc Questions
I purchased 2 Rockustic outdoor planter speakers at GG. I was gonna power them using a old JVC AVR I got laying around. I also wanted to use the same AVR to power some speakers in the garage, since the AVR has A/B front speaker selection. Here comes the problems though. My wife liked the planters so much, she sent me back for 2 more. So now I have 4 planters for outside and I still want some tunes in the garage. Another problem is that the planters are 4 ohm and the speakers in my garage are 8 ohm. The planters produce 360 degrees of sound, so 2 of the planters will sit by itself.
To clear this up, 2 of the planters will be used in my side yard. 1 will be in a different section of the backyard(I would like to play this one by itself) and 1 will be on the front porch(I would like to play this one by itself). I would also like to try and power some speakers in the garage separately as well.
Question:
Does anyone have any suggestion on hooking this stuff up? I'm assuming I could use a speaker selector, but does having 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers cause a problem?
Side questions: My AVR has a switch in back that goes to either 4 or 8 ohm. What happens when this is switched to one or the other?
Also, what happens when both sets of fronts are played at the same time, on an AVR that has A/B front selection?
