I have a computer providing the audio output, and already have a variety of speakers around the showroom. Am wondering how to get the same audio to play in all the speakers? Half the room’s speakers already have wire running to the computer area – the other half don’t. Is there a way to set up a receiver by the computer, and then have another wireless receiver set up on the other side of the showroom to connect the other speakers to?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I own a 7.1 Receiver and 7.1 speaker system, I have some more speakers in my house and I was wondering how do I add speakers without damaging my system, do i add anything like another receiver, how should i go about this?

I do not get good sound in the rear speakers when I use stereo speakers -sansui sp7500 – for the front speakers.Do i need to upgrade to speakers designed for surrond sound?

I’m building a house and am wiring for surround sound. I would like to place speakers in the walls and in the ceiling. How should the speaker wire be placed so I can add speakers after drywall is up and the speaker wire is hidden so it is easy to access and not impacted when they put up the drywall.

I have an amp, so I assume that I need to connect a speaker selector to it since I want to send music to a pair of speakers on my deck, garage, and kitchen. I intend to put a volume control in each room. If each control will control 2 speakers, the left and right channels, do i have to run 2 wires from the amp to each volume control?

Because my lounge is L shaped, the front speakers are going to be about 3 metres apart, but the back two speakers are going to be about 5 metres apart.

Is this ok?

Our sofa will be placed parallel to the front speakers (i.e. only cover the 3 metres of the back wall). There will be a dining table in the other 2 metre gap.

thanks for any help!

I recently added outdoor speakers to my surround sound system. I have a Samsung system, but it doesn’t appear to have a two-channel system. Any suggestions on how to switch between my indoor and outdoor speakers? I only want my outdoor speakers to work when I am listening to the radio or cd. I don’t wany my neighbors listening to the movies or tv stations that I am watching.

I have an Insignia 6.1 Channel receiver with 5 RCA 80 watt speakers and 1 RCA 80-100 Watt Subwoofer. I want to know how i can set these up for the best possible bass. I have messed around with the settings a little bit and i know i can change all of the speakers from a -10 to a +10 I am wondering how i should set these for the best bass. I have tried to turn all of the speakers down but the subwoofer, but the sound that comes through the speakers is distorted. Any help would be appreciated =)

It seems to be the trend that speakers designed for computers have two (or four, or five, whatever) satellite speakers (tweeters?) and then a subwoofer. Whereas for hifis it seems that you have two speaker cabinets, with a woofer and a tweeter in each.

what’s the deal?

I have 4 speakers and a subwoofer hooked up to my computer. When I play some music online like from yahoo videos or aol videos, there are only a couple songs that actually come through the speakers. Why is this? All the other songs go through the monitor speaker. And it sounds terrible. Does it have anything to do with the song itself or the feed thats coming from these sites? I need to feel the vibration!
