 There are four speakers connected, two per channel, located in each of the rooms on the ceiling. The speakers are 8 Ohm moisture resistant cheap ceiling speakers that have exceeded expectations and produce a surprisingly full sound. This opens up the potential for using them for background music in the future (e.g. via MPD). There are four speakers connected, two per channel, located in each of the rooms on the ceiling.

 +==== Amplifier ====
 +
 +  * TPA3116
 +  * "100 W"
 +  * 12-24v (more volts = more power)
 +  * Volume pot
 +  * 3-pin header input or 3.5mm socket
