Hi guys n gals,

I have a house purchace going through at the moment and it needs ripping to bits. I had a thought this morning about ceiling speakers on the ground floor but have no idea where to start. I'm not after the best of the best just something that will sound good when I have guests round and the boys for poker nights!

Is it possible to connect something up to an ipod dock or laptop and play it through there? I'd want maybe four speakers in the kitchen diner and four in the lounge so eight total. What kind of figure are we looking at and is it something myself and an electrician can do?

Can anyone recommend a supplier or even better show me what you've got so I can get some ideas!

Cheers,

Gav.. smile

Cheers guys,

The open plan kitchen diner is 3200mm x 5700mm and the lounge is 4000mm x 3000mm but they are seperate rooms. I like the idea of ceiling lights as the house is going to be modern and I like clean lines with no clutter (can you tell i'm single with no kids hehe )!!

Is an amp a must or can a docking station be simply wired in?

Problem is Driller the really nice looking ones usually cost a bomb, but them two you have shown are rather nice looking! Can an ipod dock be wired into an amp?

Ranger what you have just said is exactly what I need it for, just some background music that is of good quality. I'm not planning on having Tiesto round to do a set any time soon hehe

Cheers Plotloss, thats what I am after. So it will be ok to run one amp and dock and have a volume control in the other room? Like I said in my intial post, the house is being ripped to bits and a full re-wire needed so thats why I was thinking about getting it all in place now!
