Best thing I would recommend is to get a 7.1 stereo (2 channels for zone 2) and wire it to the porch..its nice.

yep and depending on your setup (driveway, etc) consider having speakers under your front porch as well. sounds kinda strange but you can have music playing for guests as they arrive or listen to music while playing with the kids in the front driveway (something we do religiously). have volume controls on each of your rooms
