i have that system lying around gathering dust... speakers seem powerful but it isnt 5.1 output..

i would like to have this hooked up to the computer to make it a 5.1 system or 7.1 system.

how do i go about doing that?

i have a HTPC with DG45ID motherboard.


how do i make the best use of these speakers?


is this what i need to get the speakers working with the pc?

this mhc-rv8 is 7000W system... is that good enough to power this?


probably need this amp? **broken link removed**


i need to match all the specs with those of the speakers before making purchases... impendance ohms etc... not too clever with that...

could use some help here

How the hell did you manage to make the links like that? This way it is pretty hard to say anything.

there ya go

It appears your system has an amplifier with the speakers. If so you just need to connect the computer output to the inputs on the amplifier.

that wont give me 5.1 will it?

If you got a 5.1 sound card obviously, and most computers made after 2000 do. And yours seems to have the necessary connectors, so why don´t you check the manual?

the sony hifi only has RCA inputs and it is not 5.1

To do 5.1 you need 5 speakers and a subwoofer. Do you have that many speakers?

i dont mind a 4.1 i have 4 speakers and 1 sub in that system.

How many RCA inputs does it have?

 

[regulaz]

it has 2 RCA inputs.

If each of the speakers has an amplifier, then you could find the input to each amp, disconnect it from the source, and connect your 4.1 signal to those.
