Help with ceiling speakers

[Ukyo8]

Hey everyone I was hoping I could get some help on here since I'm totally clueless when it comes to tvs, and home electronics.

So we had a new house build with speakers in the ceiling, and with connections to them in the wall.

My question is how do I hook up my lcd tv to the speaker connectors? meaning do I connect them directly with speaker wire? or need or a receiver? etc..

here is a picture of how the connectors in the wall look like

Thanks in advance

You need a stereo system (amp) to hook up the speakers. I assume that these two speakers are for your rear surround speakers. So you'd hook up your two front speaker, center channel through your amp as per normal and then use the speaker wires from your right and left rears to these speakers.

The two bottom holes appear to be zone ports so you can control a media center and thus speakers elsewhere in your house.

Could you recommend an amp that I could use?

Seriously? If you don't have any idea then I'd suggest speaking with a buddy or hire a contractor to help you out...

Essentially any 5.1 amp will do what you need. You can spend like $100 upto $10,000 of thousands on amps, all depends on budget and what you want.
