This looks like the right place for this type of question. My Uncle recently bought a house and it came with JBL (I think) speakers installed in the living room/dining room/pool area. That's all there is though. What do I need to connect to these speakers? Where do the wires run to? I don't even know where to start looking, I literally know nothing about this.

You need something more along the lines of this. I have one similar but don't know about this specific one.

Right so I assumed its something like that which doesn't seem to exist in the house. I assume that the previous owner took that with him and left the speakers. So now the question is where all the wires are so we can buy a new one of those and get them working.
