Hooking up MORE Speakers?

[cyberized]

I hope I can explain clearly enough to get some help with this - - - I presently run my Sound OUT fm 'puter to Sound IN - on an AMP/Equalizer, which then maplifies the signals to a Sub-Woofer and 2 R/L Speakers. On the back of the Amp/Equalizer are Auxiliary/ In and Out. This is what I have to presently work with -------
NOW - I upgraded to the NEW MSI K7N420 Pro, with built in CNR Card, which has an SPDIF OUT; REAR L&R OUT; and SUB/Center OUT.
I would love to be able to still use my present (old BUT good amp/eq) BUT also be able to add on a couple of speakers --------------------- is there some way I can add more through my amp - - - - - would a cable out of REAR L/R into Aux IN - - - and cable out of AUX OUT to 2 more speakers for the rear work - do you think?

Any and all help appreciated

TKS Michael

However many channels your amp has (sounds like only 2), that will be your limit as to how many different outputs you will have. You could probably hook up two speakers to each output of the amp (depends on resistance capabilities of amp), but that will still give you only 2 different channels of sound with 2 speakers for each. You could combine the left front with the left rear and the right front with the right rear, but you won't be able to seperate them to four speakers. You would still be limited to only two independant channels. I'm in the same situation as you. I run the right and left front speakers to the amp/receiver and output to four speakers. The front and rear left speakers are playing identically, as is the frnt and rear right speakers. The only way to get true seperation from more channels is to add amplifiers, or upgrade to a HT receiver (recommended to get digital input/output). Adding the rear channels to the aux in won't accomplish anything. You would have a switch somewhere to use your amp for either the standard input OR the aux input...NOT both, and certainly not both and seperated.
