Hi everyone, Ok my question is if i have a 5.1 sound system pluged into all normal ports, can i buy a adapter (spliting from 1 to 2) and have 2 subs working out of the Centre/Subwoofer port ?? the second sub has no speakers connected to it its simply just a sub.

Please reply thank you.

Probably possible, but you might need to connect them through amplifier

Is the sub you've got a combined amp/sub or is it just a sub?

Yep sub/amp
Then you can just connect them directly through adapter that makes one plug in to two

If both subs have amps in them you need to get a 'y-splitter' - any audio-hardware store should be able to sell you one - plug it in to the sub/center-out at the back of the PC - it just doubles up that output - no risk of doing any harm - then just run a cable from each the outputs in the y-splitter to each sub/amp seperately.

I've done it my self, so should work (and I'm an automation assembler)

That's the one, just make sure when you buy it you don't buy a 1 stereo to 2 mono adapter by accident

Ain't the internet wonderfull - bringing two nations (Finland and The UK) together to help a third (Australia, I take it from the link). (OK, in a very very minor way, but still, it brings a slight 'warm glow' to the heart)
