however you lost me with the RCA Y splitter.
havent used one of these before.
can you explain more about this to me?
what does it achieve?

Makes the amp mono

also, i would like to use the stereo splitter because it allows
control over turning certain speakers off in rooms.
is there any way of incorporating this into your suggested setup?

thanks again

The only issue with Dick's reply is gonna be how long the speaker lines are.

At 5 ohms a 1 ohm cable resistance is eating 205 of your barely adequate
power.

You can add 70 volt transformers to your stuff so be careful, the conclusion
you jump to may be your own.

Two good trannies for the amp and a dozen cheapies won't cost a lot. And is
the BEST way.

If you only need short wires, by all means Dick's suggestion is fast and
cheap.

However 3 adjectives usually apply. Fast, cheap, good.

And usually you can only pick two.

The steroe splitter, if it has 3 outputs, can be used with dicks suggestion
just put each pair on an output.

With all 3 on it is a 5 ohm load, 2 on a 8 ohm load, and only one pair a 16
ohm load. I am assuming none of those is an issue for your amp.

If you only have two out fron the splitter, you will have to decide which
two pairs can work together,

When asking this stuff you will get much better advice by posting make and
model

"splitter' is a pretty baoad category, am assuming you mean a basic speaker
switch.
