Combining Speakers

sliber · 02-25-2007, 03:05 PM

Hi all. I have 3 2.1 Speakers and i wanna convert it into a 6.1 ( that means i have 2 extra sub woofers i wont be using. )
The 2 speakers have to be plugged into the subwoofer to adjust the volume. I tried configuring one pair to be front speakers, one pair to be side speakers and the last pair for the rear speakers with the sub woofer alone. They work fine but the problem is that the sound is too soft even though I had put everything to maximum volume. Is there a way to make it louder?

The problem is that you are using the amplifier meant for 2 speakers to run 6 of them. if you have a 20 watt amplifier built in, instead of each speaker getting 10, each speaker is only getting a little over 3 watts. So yes, it isn't going to be as loud.
