yammi speakers a & b

[twodan]

<font color='#000000'>i've the rxv1300, and running axiom m60's as mains, and in the garage, i have 2 old ads bookshelf speakers hooked to the &quot;b&quot; speaker connections. my question is, why do the smaller ads speakers sound louder than the axioms when i walk form the house to the garage? is it simply because they are only 2 way, with less to drive? or is it that the b speakers do not share the same set ups as the mains?
thanks,

<font color='#000000'>twodan,

take into consideration the difference in accoustics. &nbsp;there is furniture in you house that will absorb alot of sound, where as in you garage is like a cave, sound echos and can seem, or even become louder do to larger space.
