Question

What do I need to setup 14 ceiling speakers in a home, surround sound and each room has speakers?

Answer 1

You will need to link all of the speakers together with a speaker wire.

Answer 2

I agree with Kevin that it would be best to get a pro installer to take care of this.  If you want some equipment ideas, here is a great site:

Answer 3

1) Obviously the speakers, try Martin Logan or Speakercraft, for in-ceiling speakers.

2) About 300 feet of speaker wire, in-wall-rated speaker wire, obviously.

3) A kick *** receiver that can handle at least 4 different zones of sound.

4) A Professional Installer, that can safely install the speakers, and run the wire through the walls and ceiling without cracking your ceiling.  The installer will also be needed to properly program the receiver, which you will be spending several thousand dollars on if it needs to power all these speakers.  This receiver will be extremely complicated to program.

You are looking to spend a lot of money on this setup, so don't try to do it yourself, if you've never done this before.
