in-wall volume control 1 input into 2 speakers [message #28509]

I recently built and new home and was able to have it pre-wired for multiroom speakers and have the speakers installed at the time. Now that I am hooking up the receiver and multiroom amp up, I have noticed that one of the cables run out to one of the outside speakers is not conducting signal. I have checked the cable going from the in-wall volume know to the speaker and it is working.

Can I run 1 input into 2 speakers? I realized I will only be getting one channel and that, I believe the resistance will drop from 8 ohms (which is the impedance of each outside speaker) to 4 ohms. Should I use an impedance matching volume control?

I do not want to tear up any of the new walls/carpet and I don't have time to do anything else. I realize this is just a stop-gap solution but can I do it?

Thanks,

Bob Baker
