WiiM amp - Full signal from subwoofer out?

[Dhaskell]

I am doing some troubleshooting for a friend trying to get a multi zone system setup.

The wiim amp is not quite powerful to power a pair of 6 ohm floor standers and a pair of 8 ohm in wall speakers (using a douk speaker selector to select zones). The WiiM Amp flashes red and shuts off when it gets turned up too loud.

I wonder if there is a solution where I run the subwoofer out to another amp to power the in wall speakers in the other zone. Since they are in wall speakers firing over head, mono is fine and preferred.

If bass management is shut off, does the subwoofer out send a full range mono signal?

Leave the Amp subwoofer setting on and turn these two switches on.

Both the speaker outputs and the sub output will be full range. Connect a mono amplifier to the sub out and connect it to the wall speakers.

Thank yoooou.

Thank yoooou.

what he said. You can also run the sub out into a stereo amp with an RCA splitter.

I'm not sure I understand.
Does the douk switch between the two sets of speakers and/or alllow both to be run at the same time?
I'm assuming it must be the latter if the amp is shutting down, in which case, as above.

Speaker selector switches usual present a constant impedance of 4 ohms to the amp. It does not look like the Douk does that. Maybe a speaker selector with a constant impedance might work better. Monoprice or Niles are options.

I was gonna say, why isn’t this speaker selector controlling the impedance, so the amplifier doesn’t shut down. I have a Niles that does that.

What are the floor standers and what are the efficiencies of the speakers? Most in-wall speakers are relatively efficient. The floor standards may go well below 6 ohms for some frequencies, especially in the base.
