So what I learned from you guys is that I need an amp to power the speakers. Would this cover everything? Bluetooth amp from Griffen?

I just bought a house and it came with 2 speakers setup on the patio with the speaker wires running into the back of the garage. Since that isn't the easiest place to control music from, I want to connect the 2 speaker wires up to a small Bluetooth audio receiver so we can control the music selection/volume etc. from the patio. The type I typically see is under $50 and is about the size of a post it note, or plugs into USB power. In almost all cases they have a 3.5 MM jack.
How can I do this? Is there a better solution? Please forgive me but I know 0 about home audio.
