ive said it before and ill say it again.

ZONE 2 OFF OF AND AVR IS NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS PURPOSE. Zone 2 is designed to drive a single pair of speakers. If you set it up for fixed volume out, then into a switch box, the VCs, it will shorted its life allot.

Lynch me for saying it, but if money is an issue buy a used sonance sonamp 260 to drive the 6 pairs of speakers. You'll still need a swtich box or IM volume controls. You may even be able to score a sonance 1230 amp or 1250 amp. For cheapest route IMHO is a 260. Used they can be had for 100-150 with freight.

good luck. I Would allow your dealaer to supply, maybe ask for a discount on that 1 item, one BUT if not check out:
