sub on computer

[350Xrider]

anyone ever connect a subwoofer to there computer? how would i connect it ? can i use any sub or does it have to be a computer sub? would i need an amp to?

Computer sup works best I just have one that came with my Acoustic Authority speakers but im getting some Klipsch 6.1 soon...

My sub came with my speakers. Both of the speakers hook up to the sub in the back, and then there's a cable with a reg. speaker input thing to plug into the back.



Only sub I have right now...blew my stereo's sub up last night :mad::scary:

If you have a reciever, you can hook your computer to the reciever and then the speakers to the reciver. You need the adapter that plugs into the headphones jack on your comp. You can buy it at radioshack:o

if you dont have a reciever I guess those would do but if you have a reciever and a head phone jack on your computer get one of there . . .

all you do is plug that into your headphone jack on your computer then run a cable from the jack to the aux on your reciever and you have the best computer sound system you could ever :cool:

Thats what I do. A cable that goes between the "speaker out" on the computer, to the "in" aux plug my JVC 300 Watt home stereo system . You can also use the C/D "in" plug on the stereo also. Adjust the computer volume as necessary. I put the speakers about 2-3 feet away to the left and right of the monitor. Kick arse bass sound! Makes using the computer a LOT better.
I dont like using a splitter to hook up both the stock computer speakers AND the stereo at the same time. It cuts down on the signal too much.
