I need a speaker switch box

Ron-P

I have a very old Marantz SR5000 receiver that does not have a speaker A/B switch. I have a set of Polks in the garage and a second set on the front patio but no way to switch between the two sets. Any idea where I can land one, on the cheap?

I checked Parts Express with no luck.

This one at PE too 'spensive for you?

Ron,
This is where you wanna be. These are the best in the business and very affordable.

I just need something cheap. It's for the garage rig and outdoor rig so nothing expensive. Never thought about building one. I suppose I can check with the Rat Shack for parts. Anyone have ideas on that?

I have an older Niles version that can handle 8 speakers...has protection circuit of some sort. It works well but the speaker wire connectors are too close together making hook up a bit cumbersome. Appears their newer models are greatly improved in that area.

I agree I think the one I have might be the 4 but i think it was rated at 1000 watts or something like that with 12 g. wire in it and takes bananas!
