my mobo (K7V Dragon Plus) has this 6 channel onboard sound and i'm trying to get speakers that accomodate this. there's 3 jacks, one for main l&r, one for rear l&r, and one for center/bass. my problem is that i can't find the center/bass speaker combination. does one even exist? i've asked around and most are pretty clueless. some people suggest buying them separately and then using a splitter to hook them up. is this a good solution? anyone's help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Keldar

i'd assume center/bass is meant to be a separate center channel and a separate subwoofer (which would make sense, since that's how most home theater's work)

usually , it's called "5.1" instead of "6" channel (with the .1 being the sub, since it's not a full range speaker)

basically, that output should work like the others....(i.e. the left and right main out is basically 2 different channels, therefore the center and sub out are 2 different channels)

got $400 to spare? Klipsch ProMedia 5.1s do exactly what you're looking for.
for something cheaper you're going to have to wait for the logitech Z570s or whatever they're calling them.
