Hello everybody, glad to join this forum and thanks in advance for any help offered 
I am looking to install ceiling speakers for our restaurant, doesn't have to be crazy loud, enough to keep employees happy and not annoy customers and neighbours, I want to use 6 speakers spread out in the restaurant:
- Well simply, is this a good idea, or is it overkill? considering it is a (120W peak x 0.707 = ~85 Wat RMS) please correct me if my calculations are wrong. http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/50-14055
The above is something that I picked, I can change that if you guys suggest that I should, however below is the things I am unclear about:
- What is the amplifier wattage that I need in order to run the 6 speakrs? (my guess is something that can drive 120W x for 6 channels) but I was unable to find something like that, at least on that same website..
- I am interested in an amplifier that supports Bluetooth and perhaps give me the ability to add a wall-plate somewhere where I can control the volume and the AUX input, rather than putting the amplifier in the employees hands. (I am also a bit tight on space) - Something like this : http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/50-14825?green=F75645DC-D733-56A7-A92B-C54A1187A336
Please let me know what you think, and I am sorry if my post is unclear, as this is my first time doing audio so I am not sure exactly what to expect, and don't want to spend money and end up with a bad product.
I also used this tool to figure out the wattage, I am not sure if that is correct, but I am still unsure if it needs in fact support 6 channels at least, or I can just hook up the speakers to the same leads "I am quite sure I can't do that but doesn't hurt to ask"
Thanks again for your time
