I have this hooked up in I e room to two passive speakers. I would like to hook it up to an older center channel to be able to have sound in two rooms. I understand I would only have control through the IR in one room but I am content with that. Would I be able to bridge the amp by taking one positive and one negative from each channel and hook up my center channel in the other room? It would this overload the 1658?
Thanks
No one has ever tried to add a third speaker to a Passive unit? I just want to know if the 1658 could handle the load. Well thanks for the help..
If you connected a simple loudspeaker switching box to the Passive and then your first pair of speakers and the additional single speaker to the switching box, you could run both rooms at the same time or switch between them as required.
As you stated you can only control via the original ir sensor. This would give you flexibility. I would have thought running the extra speaker would cause a problem but I'm not an engineer.

Sorry I meant to say wouldn't cause a problem :-)
