Almost... You still need a small amplifier for the wires from the TV to this A/B switch. The RCAs on the TV only put out line level audio. I have used one of these and it would be perfect for your installation since it has RCA ins and can handle down to a 4ohm load.

Are you saying the audio outs on the TV don't have enough power to drive the speakers? Why not?

I see. That makes sense. So they aren't speaker outs per se, but more for like a soundbar (that has a built in amp - hence the plug) But would I get no sound or just poor sound? I was really hoping for a quick and dirty set up. The issue is that the flat screen has poor built in sound (as most do) and going down the road it can get hard to hear. Heance wanting more sound. I thought leveraging the existing speakers would be easy enough. Never thought I would have to amp them.
