Hello All,
system wattage
AMP - 100 watt audio out per channel
I would like to split my b channel from 1 set (1 pair) of speakers to 4 sets (4 pair) but do not want to lose wattage. I was told that if I turn 1 pair on I will have 100 watts but a 2nd pair would reduce this in half to 50 watts and a third set to 25 watts ect. Is this true??
Why would I want to do this?? you may ask.
I have an open floor plan in my home but with the stereo (home theater) in the family room the sound in the kitchen and living room is inadequate. So I would like to have the B channel power at least 2 rooms example; Kitchen, Living room, Front Porch or Backyard (for parties and all that). The A Channel will obviously power the Family Room, but there is a chance that I will need to power 2 additional areas. Now the system will probably never power all 4 pairs at the same time but it will probably power at least 2 at the same time.
I was wondering if there is a 1-4 splitter that has an amplifier built in that could take the audio out from the B channel and pump it to the speakers at the same 100 watts regardless of whether 1 pair is selected or all 4 pairs are selected. I have been looking for a splitter that can handel 100 watts input and a 4 channel output at 100 watts per channel out. All of the splitters I have seen just split the audio in signal and no amplification to the outputs.
Thanks for any help or recommendations on how to setup this type of a request.
