Sorry for the dumb question, but my wiring skills are minimal if anything gets semi-complex.
My brother is finishing his basement, and he's to the wiring stage. There are two locations that he's thinking he might like to put the receiver/amp. Our question is really quite simple - Is it possible to wire each speaker back to two possible amp locations? This would allow him to future proof in case they decide to move from one receiver/amp location to the other. Of course, the receiver/amp will only ever be in a single location at a time.
What would happen if you ran speaker wire a short distance and then basically wire nutted the speaker wire to two speaker wires, each running to one of the possible amp locations? Would something like that work? What does wiring code generally require? Does a wire nut have to be in a box?
