    Driving 8 speakers outside

    Help me understand how that would work. Its 2 channel 90 watt so i'd have to put 4 speakers per channel im assuming. The receiver i have is 135+135 w per channel. Wouldn't what i have drive more power to them?

    Driving 8 speakers outside

    I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR1007 running a 5.1 setup in my living room. The receiver has a zone 2 and 3. I want to utilize zone three for my outdoor speaker set up. I am looking to put 8 speakers similar to these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=310-045&scqty=5...

    New A/V Rec

    Well the receiver should be here tomorrow, very excited about this. I took a part of the wall unite and covered the front with fabric and removed all shelves so it has plenty of room and air inside. I have a 12in x 2in slot in the back that allowed cabling and also bought this antec cooler...
