2 subs

InfernalRage · 08-22-2004, 02:15 AM

I have Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 speakers. I was wondering how do I hook up another subwoofer to my current one?
Also, if I wanted to upgrade would any of the following be good choices: Klipsch Promedia 5.1, Logitech THX Certified Z-680 5.1, or CREATIVE GigaWorks S750 7.1. If none are, what are some other good speakers? I just want a lot of bass, but I still need powerful speakers to go with it.

Aside from those two questions, is it possible for me to hook up my computer speakers to my xbox?

i dunno that creative inspire 6600 has the feature to plug another sub.
I've heard 3 of them. and it's depend on your need and purpose. if u like to listen to music you go with promedia 5.1 or gigaworks x750. but if u like to watch dvds and play games z-680 is the best choice. it has a built-in dolby digital and dts decoder. for the prics/performance, it's still the best until today.

Ah.... I like to do all of those, listen to music, play games, and watch movies. I just mainly need it for games and music though.

so i guess the suit for u is klipsch promedia 5.1. u don't need the built-in decoder in logitech z-680 and u don't need a 7.1 surround speakers for playing games moreover listening to musics.

What does the decoder in the Logitech do? And for the Klipsch speakers, can I add another sub to it?

WeHa · 08-22-2004, 07:10 PM

decoder in the logitech is used while you are listening to a Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 source, i.e. while you're watching DVD. however the software like powerDVD or winDVD also can decode the format. but as usual hardware decoding is a lot better than software decoding.
About another sub, i think there is no speakers system allows to add another sub.

I know Klipsch sells a speaker system with 2 subs, and I know you can add another subwoofer to the Creative 6.1 Inspire 6600. Btw, does anyone know how to add another sub to Creative 6.1 system? And how to use it on my xbox?
