Volume Control with 6 speakers:/

Hi there! So I just recently had a house built and I had them add 8 speaker drops for in ceiling speakers and 2 volume control knob ports (1 for kitchen/family room and 1 for the patio). Little did I know I can only add a pair to one knob. So my idea is run the patio direct to the receiver, and then run the other 6 speakers to a switch then back to a volume control knob then to the receiver. Anyone got any ideas? These weren’t run the way I wanted but I don’t want these fools wrecking my drywall to rewire.

If your speakers are high impedance and/or you wire them in series, you can put quite a few loudspeakers on a single amp until you run out of power.

They are simply for music not a home theater. I’m just trying to figure out if I can run from the switch back to the volume knob then to receiver or if I’ll run into problems

You need to go with a pro type of setup.  Yes, you can use transformer based speakers but you can also do something like the Parasound ZoneMaster line, among other solutions.
