Sparky - it's not that simple (but I wish it was)
Picture this: 4 sets of speakers - 2 big ass motha fucka's on the floor, 4 in the ceiling, 2 at the pool, 2 under the shelter - all run off the same receiver (*most of the time) Out from the receiver goes to a 4 way splitter which goes into the wall & each set then goes into separate volume controls (I can crank it in down by the pool & they can listen to it at a normal level in the Pool House) They then go thru the walls & in the case of the fucked set, into the ceiling & under the floor boards in the attic.
So, even eliminating the wall jacks & volume controls, it'd be a huge fucking pain to run new wires into the ceiling & then under the floor boards in the attic.
Which might be the fucking case anyway
Just spent the last 2 hours taking apart the shelf & testing things, only to figure out that the problem is after the volume control & before the speaker - which means a little fucking critter probably decided that I listen to too much Nirvana when he sleeps & chewed thru the wire
So tomorrow I'll get to spend my day in a very hot attic checking things out
* I say most of the time (and the reason for the wall jacks) because I can disconnect the main receiver & hook up an old one that I have so that, if The Bitch is down by the pool, she can listen to her CD's/stations & I can relax in the pool house listening to mine
