RE: I have done this...if you have no more than six locations...

Yeah my family has a 4 zone selector made by Niles that they're no longer using... I've just gone around the house and counted, and it seems that there are 7 pairs total of speakers, each with their own volume control knobs. So looks like a big multi channel amp is the way to go.

Additionally, I double checked the cables coming through the wall, and only 4 of them seem to actually be speaker cables. This was originally set up by a professional, and he/she has marked 2 of the cables "Patio volume", and the other two "HSE". (could HSE just mean house?)

In total, there are 3 patios, with 6 speakers, so I'm not sure how there could only be two patio cables. My fear is that when the previous owners left, they allowed a number of cables to slip behind the wall. I bought fish tape a week or so ago to try and run cables through the walls, but am completely inept with it :).

I can tell this is going to be a long uphill battle... I'm starting to wonder if hiring a pro would be the right move here.
