Add a remote speaker to Polk Audio SurroundBar 360?

Hi,
last year I got a great deal on a Polk Audio SurroundBar 360 that I put in a very small beach condo living room with a nice Samsung flat screen TV. It's perfect for that room with a remote sub and the price was right.
Around the corner from that room is a small outdoor deck. I've been using a boom box out there for music which is fine. However the digital cable TV music channel is awesome... I have a digital cable DVR box hooked up inside with the TV and Polk Audio SurroundBar 360.
So here is my question: I would like to get a remote speaker or set of speakers for the outdoor deck to listen to the same cable digital music channel that I am listening to in the Polk Audio SurroundBar 360. The problem I see is that there is no provision for additional speaker output on the "amp-DVD-tuner" part of the Polk Audio SurroundBar 360. The sound bar is connected to the amp-DVD-tuner with a simple but unconventional single plug.
I was even wondering which speaker bar single plug prongs were the actual speaker speaker wires to somehow splice off of that?
Can this be done? Is there an easiest way to add an outdoor speaker(s) to this system?
Thanks in advance if you have a solution.
Merry Christmas, Rob

i'm not 100% on this, but i am pretty sure the 360 was not designed for that contingent.
easiest way for dual zone is to have a reciever that does so. i.e. you could have a surround bar for zone 1 and then zone 2 go to the speakers outside (wired, wireless, your choice.)
the surroundbar 360 was made to be a simple application to add surround quickly and easily to a TV so again I am pretty sure dual zone is not possible in that application.Living Room 2 Channel -
