Volume Control with 6 speakers:/


Hi there! So I just recently had a house built and I had them add 8 speaker drops for in ceiling speakers and 2 volume control knob ports (1 for kitchen/family room and 1 for the patio). Little did I know I can only add a pair to one knob. So my idea is run the patio direct to the receiver, and then run the other 6 speakers to a switch then back to a volume control knob then to the receiver. Anyone got any ideas? These weren’t run the way I wanted but I don’t want these fools wrecking my drywall to rewire.

Yeah it’s 8 in ceiling already wired up (no speakers yet) my question is can I run a volume control knob after my speaker selector then run the volume control knob to the receiver? I’ve got everything routed to a hall closet and a receiver that works with my smart hub and Alexa. So I can keep it all hidden. Let me see if I can add some pictures? Or can someone direct me on how to?

So black circle= speaker location
red filled circle=routed to location
the red X is where I want the volume knob in the wiring if it’ll work
They are simply for music not a home theater. I’m just trying to figure out if I can run from the switch back to the volume knob then to receiver or if I’ll run into problems
