Hi everyone,
I have and Audigy 2 ZS SC and am presently using an external stereo amp to power 2 X Pioneer 200W oval speakers(picked it from my car when I sold it). I like its high frequencies and the upper end of the lower frequencies. However, the speakers suck at low frequencies.
For some reason, I do not like the speakers designed for PCs, esp the creative inspire series and similar altec lansings. Their satellites suck big time. I do not want to buy any of these company's high end products as well.
It is high time I did something about the low freq sounds and was thinking that I should stick to car audio and buy a Sony xplod XM-504Z 4/3 channel amp ( http://www.sonyindia.co.in/static/Caraudio/amplifier/xm_504z.html ) and the
XS-LD105P5 subwoofer ( http://www.sonyindia.co.in/static/Caraudio/subwoofer/xs_ld105p5.html ). This way I can expect to retain my existing ovals as the main speakers. I dont care much about multi channels. I mite think of adding 2 more speakers since the amps support 4 channel, later on.
I know this setup could be quite a pain but if this can work out well I do not mind taking the pain for setting this up. Now, I need help with 2 things:
1) What do you think of such a setup, does it make sense?
2) I have lotsa spare comp power supplies lying around. Would it be safe to put them in parallel to supply the required current to this amp?
