Using 2 Wiim Pros and a Speaker Selector and 4-Zone Amplifier

[jdmedge2]

Hi Wiim Community! In need of some assistance please, and thank you in advance.

Goal:
4 Zones in my Home (Living Room, Bedroom, Garage Patio), with the ability to play two separate sources at the same time (ex. Rock in Bedroom and Country on Patio).

My Equipment:
2 Wiim Pros
6-Zone Speaker Selector (Episode EA-MR-SSVC-6 6 ZONE SPEAKER SELECTOR)
8-Channel Amplifier (Episode EA-DYN-8D-100 8 Channel Power Amplifier)
Rockville Rock Shaker 8", 400W Powered Subwoofer
Sony Multi-Channel AV Receiver (STR-DH750)

I am looking for assistance of how to set-up/configure the above equipment to reach my Goal. Other than the Sony Receiver, all the other equipment was purchased upon the advise of an A/V company that quoted me nearly $2,800 (just for labor). I am doing this project on a budget so I ordered all the other equipment myself, and it appears that the only thing the A/C company would be doing now is hooking everything up (new quote of $1,300 - still seams very high!)

If there is anyone who could assist me/walk me through this, I would be happy to pay you a consulting fee as well.

Thank you all in advance!

Not sure I totally understand your goals, but if you're just looking to feed two stereo sources (2x WiiM Pros) to 8 inputs then you'd just use an rca y-splitter on each of the outputs on the Pros to feed 2x stereo outputs into 4 inputs each of the 8 available channels on your amp. You'd have 4 zones playing, but only 2 effective zones of source control.

Thank you @Hazenhart!

My goal is to be able to select which two-zones (of the 4 I will have set up), I want to play the two different music sources on at the same time. I just really do not understand how to connect all the components and then link the Wiims together to make it possible. If you know how to do this, and would be willing to jump on a video call, I'd be happy to pay for your consultation services!

Don't think I am qualified to give you a formal consult here , but I can share my understanding. With that, I don't know how speaker selectors work -- that's my limitation here. With only the 2 Pros and the 8 channel amp, you would only be able to control 2 fixed zones (with 4 speakers in each zone). Not sure how the speaker selector would work to allow you to mix an match speakers across these two source Pros.
