Question about a speaker switch with volume control

[Fritzy]

I am working on rewiring the speakers in a houseboat and I was wondering if it was possible to use a home audio speaker switch/volume control in a car audio environment. I was hoping to use a 5 speaker pair switch so that I can independently control the speakers in different areas of the boat and well as turn off speakers when not in use.

One i found was the TEC-905B with the following specs:

Dual source inputs

Five speaker pairs output

Each pair of speakers can be alternatively switched to either amplifier A or B

Accepts up to 12 gauge speaker wire via gold plated banana socket connections

Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz

High efficiency transformer based designed, fully automatic amplifier impedance protection

Compatible impedance with 4 - 16 ohm speakers

100W RMS, 200W peak per channel power handling

Individual rotary volume controls

Master ON/OFF switch connects and disconnects the signal distribution from the amplifiers to the speakers

Dimensions: 2.25"H x 15.5"L x 8.5"W

Weight : 12 lb

Headphone input with volume control

Pre-printed zone and equipment list label included for easy speaker connection identification

Sturdy metal enclosure

Passive design, no power required

I was contemplating using a 100X2 RMS amp with this switch. Does this seem possible or does anyone know of a switch/volume control that is geared towards car audio?

Thanks for any help people can give.
