Hello, we recently bought a new home that was ordered by another customer, but they backed out, so we had no input on anything that was built into the home. The opposite was true with our previous home, and the builder wired it for ceiling speakers and an obligatory volume control in the wall. Our new house has a similar set up, but the wiring is different. Behind the TV there are two white-jacketed speaker wires with left/right (black/red) wires inside. There's also one purple-jacketed four conductor wire, and one blue data wire (Cat 5 or 6). There are two outlet boxes in the living room ceiling that also have the white two-conductor speaker wire. And on the patio there are two more outlet boxes up high on the wall, and although I haven't taken the covers off, I'm pretty sure the purple wires are in there. The problem is there's an outlet box by the patio door that has ALL of the wires in it. There is one purple, one blue for data, and two white ones. I'm assuming this is for some kind of keypad controller, which we do not need or want. In fact, we would never install speakers on the patio. The puzzle for me is how do I connect the ceiling speakers in the living room, if the outlet box for volume control only has two wires instead of four? Do I really have to spend a lot of money on whole home audio equipment?
