I am not familiar with some of the terminology like ohm so trying to make sure I do this right. I have 5 in ceiling speakers installed a connect amp and a play bar and subwoofer. From what I understand the rear two would be needed for surround sound. I don’t want to waste the front 3 so would like to use these for playing music when not used for surround sound. One option is to put 2 back speakers on its own connect amp and set up that way. But what about the front 3? Can I connect 3 speakers to an amp? I only see instructions for 2 or 4? As a second option I saw that I can hook up an impedance switch to turn off a pair of speakers. Can this be used to support what I want to do and therefore I only need one amp vs 2? But that still leaves my third middle speaker out ?
Finally I have 2 outdoor speakers I’d like to pair on an amp with 2 indoor. 2 indoor are 8ohm. The outdoor say 4 or 8? Outdoor power says 100 watts and the indoor says 120

Hi there, Juliejean. Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community. While we may be able to give you resources and the Community may solicit their opinion, nothing beats having a home audio specialist go to your house and give a consultation. While it's great that you want to set up surrounds through a CONNECT:AMP. There are a few things to keep in mind. Check out this article that explains the process of using the CONNECT:AMP to power surround sound speakers.
To answer your question specifically:
Additionally, if you want to attach 4 speakers to the CONNECT:AMP note that all speakers need to have an impedance of 8 Ohms. Read more about this here.
To answer your question specifically:
What about the front 3?The front three channels are already in place as the CONNECT:AMP can only be set up as surrounds for either a PLAYBAR or PLAYBASE.
