SB Live 5.1 Question

I have a Soundblaster Live 5.1 sound card. I am running Creative Labs/Cambridge Sound Works FPS 1800 speakers. I have a front channel speaker from an old home surround system. I was thinking about plugging that into the center channel port on my SB Live card. The speaker is 8 Ohms impedance and it says Input 260W, Music/130W, DIN on the back. What would I have to do to add this speaker to my set up? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

There is no actual center channel jack. The live cards have the 2 analog jacks and 1 digital/spdif jack.

On the back of the live card I have it has a 1 ---> 2 --> a digital out and a 3 -->. I was wondering if the 3 --> is the center channel out?

I have the Live! 5.1 OEM card, and there's no center jack. There's the green (front analog), black (rear analog), yellow (digital SPDIF), red (microphone), and blue (line input). I don't know how the FPS 1800 speakers work, but I have the DTT3500 digital 5.1 speakers, and they come with a receiver w/ the necessary front, rear, center, and sub outputs.
