Setting up zone 2 & 3 on Pioneer Elite SC-05

ckphoto

I need some help/guidance on setting up additional zones with my Pioneer. On my previous AVR's I just used speakers "B" but on the Pioneer I am running 7.1
and speakers "B" are the rear surrounds and are being used in my HT. I assume I need to get a power amplifier and hook it to the zone 2/3 preouts. If I am correct can someone please recommend a cheap power amp ($200-$300) I will be running Bose AM in one room and cheap outdoor speakers on my deck.

Thanks,
Chris

You may have to PM mantis on this one, but if you're using speakers in a 7.1 setup I dont think you can use them as zone two speakers at the same time.
