hi-fi question

do you think it would give a good effect to connect some
surround 5.1 speakers from a computer to a normal radio ? i
want to make something like this, but i wanted to ask if
anyone made this yet. there's no problem with a surround
decoder, because i want to buy some spekers wit h built-in
decoder. what do you think ?

i know that there wouldn't be any effects, but it would be
cool to place every speaker in another corner...

nope, i said it, that in the speakers i want to buy there's
a built-in decoder
if you connect it to a stereo source it will split it onto
all speakers

you need something to power all those speakers!
if you want surround sound you need a amp that supports it
and they cost over a grand.
i have an technics 800 watt amp; one bin on each side of my
computer (tweeter, mid, and 12 inch sub); a 10 inch sub and
6x9 beside the couch. and in the bathroom i have a 10 inch
sub and a 6x9.
on top of my amp i put in 8 toggle switches so i can switch
the auxillary speakers between the bathroom and the couch!

amp is built in as well....and mi radio has his amp.... i
just think about it if it's worth the buy. i have now two
50watts speakers that have 17 years. and before i buy simply
two new i want to check some other ways

i have now 10 speakers in my room, two of my radio, an
unitra 17 years old hi-fi stereo, a sharp 20 years old
vinyl-player, at my computer a 5 years old radio connected
with it, and two small radios.... i want to make something
out of them all in one....

what ??

go and buy:
rca jacks
electrical tape
speaker wire

use one thing as your source... like your computer
use a 3.55mm rca jack that splits to a Y with normal male
rca jack ends
attach to an amp that has aux in and aux out
put a normal rca jack into aux out and plug the other end
into another amp...etc

that wasn't any help. i haven't some good speakers and i
haven't a second amp. and the idea is not bad. but i would
split the source cable and stick it in each aux in of every
amp...

you could do that
are ALL 20 of your speakers independantly powered?

only 4 are not, the 17 and the 20 year old... they are too
bad... low tones are fucked up horrible

its really simple then, splice your speaker wires to ones
that are self contained so you dont fry your amp!

BIG speaker....
