For those interested, here is an update to my situation:

I had a friend come over last night and help test things out. We hooked up the four wires to my 5.1 receiver (in various channels), and turned everything on. As it turns out, all of the speakers in the house (save for the front porch) are powered through 2 of the wires, marked HSE. The front patio speakers alone are powered by the two wires marked "Patio Vol".

The receiver I have already seemed to be powering all of the speakers just fine. It's an old Denon AVR-2000.

I'm considering buying another receiver now, just to power the whole house using the 4 speaker cables. I would use the Denon for the 5 channel surround downstairs. Anyone have any recommendations and what I should buy (now that I know I don't need a 12 channel amp)?

Thanks again for all the input so far,
Chase
