I want to run a ceiling speaker in my en suite from the Sky Q box in the adjacent room (it has AV and optical outs) but I believe I need an amp to do this. I obviously don't want to be paying hundreds of pounds for this so can anyone recommend a very simple home amp that might do the job?

Thanks!

There are number of important safety issues that have to be addressed with regard to an installation such as this especially if you wish to control the volume of the speaker from inside the bath room. The fact that you are asking this question on a forum such as this leads me to believe you do not have the technical competence to safely undertake this task. I suggest you investigate the use of either some form of Bluetooth device or an FM transmitter to send sound to a battery operated receiver.

No volume control and I have a bathroom-grade speaker - quite competent in fitting all that - just need advice on the amp.

One other question. Is the speaker just a bog standard 8ohm or similar job or a 100V line type?

A bog standard 8ohm speaker can be powered by any old amplifier but obviously a 100V line type is a bit more specialised and needs a specific matching 100V line amplifier.

For a simple speaker then something like this would probably do the job OK

Hey chrisjr,

They are indeed 8ohm speakers. I saw that amp on Amazon and wondered if it would do the job - thanks for the info.

At that price I've nothing to lose

Cheers
