Ok, I feel like I asked this before, but I beleive I 'found' a Y-Splitter, but im not sure it it really is.

Ok heres the deal, I have two systems, Logitech Z-5300e, and X-530.

I want to attach the x-530 sub to work along with the 5300e one. i dont really need the sats hooked up from x-530.

Ok the y-splitter has the 'male' connector as a green one, and there are two 'females' and they seem to allow sound inputs. I have put the male inputs from the x-530s and they fit perfectly in there, and same goes for the sound card + male y-splitter connector.

Well the strange part to me is actually how it splits, the split seems weird for connecting two speakers. The male side of the y-splitter is GREEN, which seems fine since thats front two speakers i beleive, But it splits into GREEN and BLACK. Well ok isnt black the rears? how do i attach both subs so they all work?

**** is it even the proper stuff i need or what? The other weird thing is that the x-530 sub has its sound card male connectors connected to the actual front right speaker. so it will leave the yellow center one danglling. So does it work like, i connect the x-530 sub and front two speakers or what?

help!!

doesnt matter if its gold lol...

get the y splitter and put both the green wire from the x-530 and the green wire from the z-5300

now if you want all the speakers to work too then youll need to buy 3 y-splitters and plug each one into your 5.1 sound card and just plug the speakers according to their color.

but eric b is right because when it comes to the sub it doesnt matter which color it is the sub will play with any color you choose

just hooked em both up. worked exactly as planned

havent really blasted them together yet, yet they both work at the same time which is nice!

in a volume comparison it makes me realize how much the z5300e's actually OBLITERATE the x530s lol. way more kick out of 5300e. the x530s are just an extra background layer hehe. put the x530 sub behind my desk, because thats the only way both cords will reach. because of the way the speakers are you need to have the front two hooked up for the sub to work. the annoying part is that i still need to attach the rears and center, because the x530 sub will vibrate and poof out of the coord holes of not connected. so i have my rears and center off in a dark place, but conntected to the sub.
