Outdoors speakers (Speakers B)

[quincyxg]

Alright I have my home theatre is all set up inside the house and it works fine. I also set up my outdoor speakers, which work, on speaker B output.

My problem is that when I have both speaker a (indoor) and speaker b (outdoor) both on, speaker a always is way louder that b. I cannot figure out why and how to correct/adjust that.

I am sure it is easy and I am a doof, but would love to be educated.

Thanks

Sounds like speaker A is more efficient than speaker B. That's to say that, given the same amount of power, one speaker will play louder than the other.

Short of putting volume limiting level controls on speaker A*, there's really not too much you can do.

If it's an AVR with zone 2 outputs, you could feed their line-level outputs to a separate integrated amp and use that to control the volume to speaker B.

*and that's not a really good way to do things. However, if speaker B were louder, it would be.
