Stay tuned for more on this whole home amp as well as a comparison of this and the dayton audio dax66 amplifier. Also stay tuned for my 2018 smart home install!
www.monoprice.com/product?p_i... This is a VERY good whole home audio amplifier. For the money and quality it is superb over other systems. It's ease of installation puts it up high on the list, and unfortunately not many know about this kind of a system. Similar systems like this can easily be 2x or 3x in cost, maybe even more.
I forgot to talk more about my ceiling speakers, these are the indoor ceiling speakers that i used, and i would recommend them. Amazing sound quality!! They are by dayton audio -- Many people recommend them. www.parts-express.com/dayton-...
For my outdoor speakers i also used dayton audio -- www.parts-express.com/dayton-...
The speaker wire i used (i'd recommend the 14 guage though):www.monoprice.com/product?p_i...
The cat 6 cable i used in my parents (i used regular cat5e though, it doesnt really matter): www.monoprice.com/product?p_i...
The RG6 cable that i used for cable tv runs, and my RCA runs: www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire...
Keystone Wall plate (you can get ones with more or less holes): www.monoprice.com/product?p_i...
Keystone wall jacks (you can get any kind of wall jacks including hdmi, ethernet etc...): www.monoprice.com/product?p_i...
All in all, i spent roughtly $850 to install this system. Labor was free since i did it all myself, however if you've never gotten up in the attic and know how to run wire, this type of a job would be a little challenging, but not impossible. I was able to save a little money due to the fact that i already had speaker wire from another install that i did.

THE BEST DEMO OF WHOLE-HOME AUDIO I EVER SEEN ON TH-cam!
I've got more coming
Without a doubt! Don't know how many times I've watched this video
I completely agree.... And this was 4yrs ago. I need this setup today!
I just got mine done. It took me a week, but it was fun. I love the equipment and the sound.
Good Video! I think you should do a video showing your technique on how you ran your wires, as that is something that i'd (plus many others) be interested in watching/learning, as that has so many different applications that just audio. Subscribed!
This just popped into my feed again. I'm so psyched that I found your channel and installed my Soundavo WS66i while I was buildingmy house! I love that system!
Looks and sounds good. Future inspiration for my home. Only thing I would have done differently is not done the extension cord through the cabinets but installed another outlet inside of the cabinet. Other than that GREAT JOB!
Nice video, very detail explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. 10/10
Man this really makes me look forward to the day I own my own house so I can do something like this. Great setup
What’s up! Did you get one yet? 😀
LOVE your music selection!!
Thanks for the video -- this may be the answer to replacing my 12 year old whole home 12 zone Elan System. One thought. I use the long range Audio Engine B1 bluetooth receiver vs the chromecast audio receiver you show. I like to have my music voice controlled via alexa (amazon music, pandora, iphone music in itunes library, etc.) and I can play all this by telling Alexa to connect to bluetooth (then alexa connects to audio engine B1), then I can request specific song by name, or artist or station type (from either Amazon or Pandora). I can thumbs up or down songs, skip songs, raise or lower volume, switch stations, etc. all by voice. You can also use NAS drives and Plex and have Alexa control your hard drive music this way as well.
Maannnn you really like your music ... thats a nice system., also ., nice house man ., and that tune is cool too ., i Shazam it .. for those who wants to know is warm blood by flor .
What’s the name of the first song though?
Dang that amp system is a steal of a deal! I can't believe it comes with the control units for that price too.
Awesome video! Been waiting to pull the trigger on a purchase before I gathered information. Found all I needed here.
Please check my new video of the upgraded amp!
I have always wanted to do this kind of system in my house, very helpful video sir..is possible to give me a list of everything you used in this set up please , ,keep it up
Thanks for the video. The green connectors you refer to as keystones are actually Phoenix connectors.
Wow.. Great job explaining what you've done.. Fantastic!
Omg 😱 😧😯. This what i had been thinking and plaining to have in my new house. I really want to have it and want to install it by myself.
you just earn a new subscriber, great info in this video, well explained, just what I was looking for :).
Question 1.- can you provide or add in the description the rca wall plate you used for the audio sources?
Question 2.- Can you provide or add in the description the RCA cables you used for this install?
Question 3.-Which speaker cable would you suggest to buy that is code for new construction?
Question 4.- did you use cat 5, cat 6 or cat7 Ethernet cable?
I'm looking forward to see which plans you have for your smart home.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
1) I used keystone wall plates from Monoprice, and bought all of the keystone jacks from monoprice (i've added links to the description)
2) An RCA cable is a really simple cable. To make your own RCA cable you would use RG6 cable. RG6 cable is the same type of cable you would use to run cable tv in your house, except with a different end on it. (i've added a link to the RG6 cable that i use)
3) If you are doing construction in a residential building and not commercial, i believe it just needs to be CL2 rated. Most speaker cable you would buy is already ok to run in houses. I would suggest you use 14 guage speaker wire, i used 12 guage and it was a little over kill since i wasnt doing that long of runs. If you are doing very long runs, then i would say use 12 guage. (i've added a link to the speaker wire i used)
4) I used cat 5e cable for my install because i ran out of cat 6. I wired my parents entire house with cat 6 though, so you can use either. I like cat 6, because it has the extra plastic insert in the cable, which keeps it stiffer when running, which is helpful. (link to that cable is also in the description now!)
Also would you beable to do a tv setup video on how you have your tv connected and all the different components
Looks good! Nicely done
Wow, great video. Taught me a lot. Will be looking into the other brand as well! Thanks!
3:01 the best DAC for your buck
Edit: have you tried the optical input? You can get an optical mini cable to hook up to the Chromecast Audio and even stream at 98k pcm...if the app you're using allows for it
The quality will be 120% better if he change the cable. Let me explain - On amps, RCA inputs not digital. Those are analog inputs which means the signal is pre processed which means the chromecast converted digital signal to analog. Over optical there's no dac used. What comes in, that's go out without any conversion. If your amp or avr is equipped with spdif, use optical connection in between. Your amp or avr has a better dac built in :)
By the way the connectors are Phoenix connectors not Keystone.
Great video, this is exactly what is was looking for!!
Excellent very excellent works.
hey are you able to integrate a 5.1 surround sound system to the living room speaker and still be able to use the same speaker with the amp for music
Lmao... finally someone asked
Well? An answer would be nice ;-)
I would think this would be doable. Just hook 2 inputs to one speaker, assuming they are both analog connections with the red and black wires. Then do the same for the other speakers within the 5.1 setup.
Forgetting to turn off Bluetooth and end up playing porn thought the house 😂
It's funny because it's true.
lol
Just don't watch porn, perv.
N
Boom boom clack boom boom ssssss clack
Wowwwww I really love your house!! The Ultimate Smart Home! 😍😍
sweet set up my friend!!!
Awesome, though I'm surprised there isn't a smart phone app to control every room remotely
There is a smart phone app play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monoprice.audiocontrol&hl=en_US
How did you get your Alexa to talk/play through your ceiling speakers?
Ervin Woodard RCA to 3.5 mini cable
Wow. So cool man. Great job.
Absolutely great video! The keypad looks so clean, and the blue light gives it a well modern look. You mentioned another system that you recently installed; after having this in for a few months now, do you prefer this system of the other install?
Thanks for posting, I'm hyped to get my system installed!
DJ Robbie Raaz If you haven't watched my other home audio videos they are worth watching! This system and the other I installed are almost literally identical in terms of hardware. So both are great and one is not better. Thanks!!
Awesome video! Do you need to use the wall plates to control the audio or can it all be done over chromecast audio source?
edit: You already answered my question on one of your other videos!
th-cam.com/video/hH6FbcZpnsA/w-d-xo.html
Qosmo Dirst what was the answer?
@@Stone815 the answer was yes, you can play it all through chromecast.
Qosmo Dirst What was the video he explained this? I almost watched all of his videos but haven’t found it yet. Was he able to play to each zone or only all zones with the chromecast audio without using the keypads?
@@neo23geo th-cam.com/video/hH6FbcZpnsA/w-d-xo.html
I did a very similar install except the placement of my unit. I used OSD MAX12 for mine and I have 22 speakers. 4-5 speakers per zone for 5 Zones then outside zone is 2 6" rock speakers. I used Dayton audio in-wall speaker expanders so i could power more speakers per zone. I control the unit with both wall keypads and Android app.
What android app do you use?
I’m really impressed 👍🏾
Why are so many men handymen so boring and never show any emotion when they have just installed something so big and all the lady’s standing there are screaming and are so happy
I have the same amp, controlled by a CasaTunes CT-1 works great.
I am in the middle of building at the moment. Just wired all my low voltage Ethernet system and home audio, I can’t wait to use it all. Are those the on q speakers? Also I love the cool living room ceiling.
Edit: I see your description now
This is very impressive
I love all your videos! great job.
I am looking to implement the same system but I want to integrate a couple things, wondering if you have done them or looking to do them too.
1. Use Synology NAS music server as a source
2. Use Apple Airplay
3. Control TV volume/channels from IR blaster in wall plate (looking to centralize cable box in network closet)
Check out the volumio project for the raspberry pi. It would be able to play music off of a synology or other file share source volumio.org/
Sick video, very informative!!!!!
I have a 4 zone in my home love it any idea what to go with for a detached garage? Separate system just need a single zone for a surround from a projector
Love the video! Super helpful and detailed. Why did you choose to run RG6 for your inputs? Could you use speaker wire and attach banana plugs on both ends to achieve the same thing?
yes you can technically do that, but at long distances it's not advised to. You dont get shielding using speaker wire. RG6 has shielding in the cable so you can make a long distance RCA cable with extremely little loss. I would not recommend using speaker wire for it
Nice set up
Great job sir!
Great system setup & very helpful video. Will be getting same system. Did you connected 2 speakers in each zone? So basically run 14/2 speaker wire to each speaker from central system where monoprice amp will be sitting and also run cat5e to each zone for for keypad. Also run dual coaxial cable to each source location for RCA transition. Thanks TheKMz1
Hello, great video! Very informational. I bought my house and it has speakers with 6 different zones but have never used all of them. I have a surround sound system that has a 2nd zone and that is how I have been running the speakers to parts of the house. There are cat5 cable with the speaker wires and access points to all zones but I noticed it has the speaker wire and the cat5 in the access port for all zones, will this set up work for the monoprice amplifier in your video or would I have to run other wires. Another thing is that there are actually two cat5 cables in every access point. I am assuming they ran two in case if one went bad in the future. The access point have all been covered to where the wires are not visible but one controller was left with a sliding volume control.
Very informative. Thank you.
Great job
Wow. This is awesome 👏🏻
Be sure to check out my new video on my channel
This is very nice.
Awesome video!
Great job!
I love this installation help me i want to learn
6 Month Update: I have been installed now for 6 months. I didn't use the wall controls because your app is AMAZING. I have 2 Google Audios for input sources and a TV source.
If anyone is interested in a GREAT sounding speaker. I would recommend the Theatre Solutions. I have 6 of them in 3 zones. A Polka in the master bath and 2 outside zones with Bose and Polk. Had I done the Polk first I would have only Polk outside. But I love my current setup. Thanks for the inspiration and direction @TheKMZ1
That is great to hear! Have you seen my new video? Very interesting :)
Great video. Thanks. Question. Have large kitchen with cathedral ceiling that is pre wired ., would like to use 4 speakers, but the wiring is daisy chained thus only two speaker wires to access. Possible to bridge 4 channels to drive two channels with 2 4ohm speakers per channel and sound great?
I'll start by saying thank you for the videos! They are a huge help as I'm planning my whole home audio set up. How would I add a powered/active subwoofer to a standard 2 speaker zone? I thought it was the pre-amp outs, but after watching your video it looks like I have to use either the speaker outputs or the pre-amp out independently, they cannot be used in conjunction with each other. Am I understanding that correctly?
I subscribed and notifications on
our family stills uses a wall jack for our phone!!! nice setup tho
Hey man great video and a much better way then paying someone to put in a Sonos system. Bought pretty much everything you had (hope you bought stock in all those companies) for a new build, going to have 12 zones:6 sources. Got everything this past week and was looking at the cat 6 connection hub. There are 7 ports on the back. Is the 7th for connection to the slave amp?
Madison Earnest I never did understand why there was an extra. I don't think you hook it up to a second amp, because you use the ribbon cable for that. And I wish I got a commission off of every amp I sold!! If you need the android app I got ya covered ✅
Have you used the RCA outputs before? Does that eliminate the speaker outputs on same zone? I guess i should say I plan on 6 zones but also have 2 other rooms with ceiling speakers and amps already wired.... was hoping there was a way to incorporate them also(love the fact of having 6 sources for each of the old school receivers). Thanks!!
Thanks for the detailed video! Could you please advise different devices that can be added to wirelessly (bluetooth/airplay) play music and also is there a way to add USB as a source. I have Dax66. Thank you!
Is it possible to manage the source/output through an API ? that way it can be paired with a home automation system. Ty.
Great video. How would you connect a Sonos Connect Amp to one of the input sources?
Thanks!
I’m working on updating an existing system that is using 3 Kenwood stereo receivers. They are old and 2 of them are failing so it’s time to modernize.
Check out my channel for other good stuff!
Going to subscribe
Hope you show more on this.
I have lots on my channel
Prepping to do this in my house and this is the best demo I've seen. A few questions if I may:
1. Each speaker runs back to your amp?
2. What was the rg6 wire for?
3. Does the cat 6 go from the room switch to the amp?
4. Are those 6" speakers? Would you recommend 6" or 8"?
Can you check out my video series I created called "whole home audio from start to finish" it's a video series I did and it's literally from start to finish!
I am doing new construction so wiring will be much easier for me. I like the monoprice amplifier. Video was 2 years ago. Any need for me to research newer products or not any major improvements in last 2 years?
Which RG6 to RCA compression fittings and tool did you use for your RCA wall input? Also, was there concern about the bend radius in the wall at the wall plate? I have 4 RG6 inputs, which is 8 cables, terminating into 2 wall plates at the amp side but I am worried about trying to bend the cable to fit into the keystone wall jack. Thoughts?
Hey TheKMZ1
! Awesome video and really like the setup a lot. I'm also building a new home and am going to go this route after watching your video. Planning on pre wiring the entire house with low voltage for all my tech and am trying to learn all I can as fast as I can. Any other new constructions tips you may have will also be much appreciated.
I do have a couple questions for you if you don't mind. You said some of your sources were RG6. Where do you have those sources run to and how did you end up terminating? I'm clear on the the RCA for the cable box / kitchen and 3.5 for the chromecast, but was confused my the RG6.
Also, I would like your opinion on incorporating an Onkio receiver I have sitting around. Would I even need my existing receiver at this point. if so, how would you set it up with this system?
Thank you in advance. Again, awesome vid and setup.
I'm in the same boat you are, only 9 months later. I am about to purchase and pre wire my new construction home. Can you give me any insight into what you did? I need to order soon, add my builder is killing it.
Hello, couple more questions. 1) is the 50w/4ohm vs 25w/8 ohm for each of the two channels per zone or just per zone? 2) the exterior speakers you used have a power handling of 50 watts RMS/85 watts max. Given that this is a 8 ohm speaker, isn’t the power less than minimum? Thanks!
Great job buddy. What type of speakers did you use Brand?
The link to the speakers are in the description
Hi, this is really a nice video. I learned how to conned chromecast from this video. I just moved into a new place and wondering how to connect my tv in master bed room to this monoprice amplifier system. Appreciate any direction. I am not much of a networking guy. My system is in my living room downstairs. I have a network switch with blue plugin.
Hey - great video! You inspired me to do this exact set up in a new construction build.
However - I’m having problems connecting my TV optical output to the RCA jacks I installed. I just bought an optical to RCA converter on amazon but I’m still just getting static in my speakers. It’s not my RCA jack either because when I plug my Bluetooth adaptor into the jack it works fine. I’ve also adjusted my TVs sound output settings... just curious if you’ve had any luck or advice with a problem like this? Thanks!
Hmm.. Sounds to me like maybe a bad converter you bought. Is there a way to test it on something else to see if it's bad?
You should probably make sure the tv audio is outputting in PCM mode
Our home came with one but never knew howw to use it
Odd question, what were the songs that were on in this video?
P.s. awesome video!
Hi I really enjoyed your videos, I have a question, monoprice currently has 2 multizone controller model 10761 for $668 and model 31028 for $411
The 31028 comes without kit and wall units, my question is if they are comparable and they do the same work?
Thanks
Pedro
nice work
check out my other videos! There is a new better amp out, called the WS66i and i've got lots of good videos on it in my channel! Also some discount codes :)
Great video... Please what is the power ratings (nominal and peak) of the ceiling speakers you used?
RMS 25 watts, peak 50 watts (www.daytonaudio.com/index.php/cs620c-6-1-2-2-way-ceiling-speaker-pair.html)
I like your video very informative. Like the step-by-step. Those outlets in the wall what are they called and where did you get them? I’m trying to do the same thing now but I’m having a hard time finding those things.
Check out my videos on my channel titled, whole home audio from start to finish! You'll learn about it all
Very nice
The best informational video so far seen on the internet regarding home audio.
Currently i am using an apple airport airport express to stream music to my 6 source audio receiver speaker. But i am only able to connect one device at a time to one source for all the zones.
Can i connect 2 devices (say phones) at the same time at different sources?
And is there any other way i can connect my smart tv, which is in the living room,to the amplifier or say the airport express without the RCA cable, as my amp.setup is in the basement.
Will be looking forward to your reply, thanks have a good day.
Maitripal Singh 1 Chromecast can only have 1 connection. But they are so cheap you can have 2 chromecatsts hooked into the back of the amp to achieve what you want. Also, there really is no wireless way that I know of to hook your tv audio up to the amp.
Very informative video. I am looking to do this to my house. So how are the wall controllers wired to the amplifier/receiver? I got the Ethernet cable but confused how that all connects to the amplifier.
There is a keypad hub that has 6 inputs on the back for all your keypads, and it has 1 output on the front and 1 Ethernet cable connects from the hub to the amp. Check out my channel for lots of other good home audio videos!
Hi, very thorough and informative videos. I watched your whole amp and pre-wired journey. I want to set up something similar and want to ask if you know if it's possible to multipurpose 5 ceiling speakers that are already wired to a 5.1 surround sound receiver and use them through zone 1 on an amp through the receiver while watching TV, but also use them independently through a different zone in which they are directly wired to the amp on a different zone. I guess I would do to sets of wiring, one from speaker to receiver and the other one from the speaker to the amp. Can that be done? Is there a better way? Is there a risk with double powering the speakers?
Have you seen my video on my channel talking about the pre amp outputs?
If adding a subwoofer to one of the zones, and the sub only has a single line in, would you use a Y adapter to go from the two stereo pre-amp outs on the receiver to the sub? If so, should the switch for that zone be turned to stereo or bridge?
impressive
Great video! what is the maximum number of speakers that you have hooked up on a zone? do you feel that you could've added more?
Casey Jones technically you can have 4 speakers per zone but it gets wired a bit different. I recommend sticking with 2 if you are able to
Great set up. Where is the cat 5 wire going from the keypads? Also, are speaker wires going directly to the speakers from the amplifier?
Yes speaker wire goes from the speakers directly to the amp, also same with the keypads. So everything "home runs" back to the amplifier. And the amplifier has the circuitry necessary to know what zones it needs to control based on the keypads being clicked.
Awesome install my friend. Where did you purchase the wall keypads that control volume, source and audio controls? I'm renovating my dads first home that he ever purchased. I have zero drywall in the house right now. Your videos help immensely when deciding what to do before closing the walls and ceilings back up.
Joseph Duarte The link in my description links to this amplifier, it's actually a kit, so the keypads come with it, they are specific to this amp. So if you buy this same system, all you need to add is speakers, speaker cable, and ethernet cable.
I think that just sealed the deal. I was wondering how you kept the cost so low with all those controllers that you installed. I know you said that you can stack those systems, but are you aware of a 12 channel system that rivals this one (cost equivalency per channel)?
Joseph Duarte if you wanted 12 channels I would still recommend buying 2 of these because it would still be your best bang for your buck while still delivering high quality experience. When you have more than 1, the kit has a special ribbon cable that connects the amps together and one amp is the master, the other set as a slave. That makes the slave amplifier share the master 6 sources so that the system now becomes 12 zones and 6 audio sources. I plan on doing a video highlighting my other install where I have 2 chained together like this.
Hey everyone! I have published an android app which can now control these amplifiers if you don't have an Apple device. Search Google play for Monoprice and you should find it. It's called monoprice whole home audio control. Stay tuned for upcoming videos discussing the app!
I noticed you have a security camera would you be able to do a video on your survailence camera system?
Garrett B Go to Eastern Cctv.com
Thanks for the prompt reply. You had mentioned there may be a video of how you ran cable in between walls and floors. Am especially interested in finding out how you would run cables in between floors in ceiling. Is there an email address you can provide for more questions, if you don’t mind.
Great video. just ordered the same system because of this video . One question how many speakers can you use in one zone .
Noel O Morales it's built for 2 speakers per zone (a left and right speaker) but with some manipulation with speakers on series/parallel, you could probably do more.
TheKMZ1 ok thanks for the info. Keep the videos coming.
Excellent video. Can you please do a video comparing the different type of dayton audio speakers on the market that would work with this system. Also, it is possible to wire more than 2 speakers per zone, ie via parallel/serial wiring to maintain 8 ohms total per zone? Thanks.
Thanks for the video idea, and yes as long as you can achieve 4 or 8 ohms at the amp, you can technically have more than 2 speakers in a zone. I tell people to try and stick to 2 if possible because a majority of the people are not technical enough to do that!
Awesome demo video
Can we get one where you show all the connections and where everything is supposed to be plugged ?
I have a whole home Audio from start to finish on my channel you might like
Thanks for the video. Maybe a rhetorical question but how or are you able to run 3 speakers in one zone?
Not really, best to do 2 per zone as it was designed
Hello. Great video.
Are the switches running with the onboard POE amplifier? Or theres ac wire with it?
They are powered by the amplifier (nothing specifical just cat 5 cable) check out my videos on my channel over the WS66i amp!
That's bad ass man
How to I hook up tv to receiver? RCA cables with a adapter? And Ethernet cord you need a splitter? Can you send me some links? Thanks great video I'm getting mine this week
Can you please explain how the coaxial cables terminate at the source end? How do you go from coaxial to the red and white RCA input. I’ve been much research but can’t find out what you did here. Thanks
