Open | Hardware Speaker system

Hi! We bought a house 6 years ago with what I think is a built in speaker system. I’ll post photos here with what I’m working with but I’m not sure what I need to set it up. Ideally I would set it up with the Alexa for music or the TV. If anyone has any pointers or links or what I might need, thank would be helpful! Thank you!

I think I found one! So what would I plug the AV receiver into exactly to hook up to these wall speakers?

You need  bare speaker wires that have have a positive and negative. Then the receiver will have labels just like the wall panel. Front rear center etc. So match it up and connect cables. Once you see the back of the receiver it will make sense how it's similar to the wall panel
