PC Speakers (Sub) (1 Viewer)

Can I use a Subwoofer from my altec lansing computer speaker 2.1 setup connected to my yamaha a/v receiver as a temporary HT subwoofer solution till I buy a real sub?

as long as nothing will blow-up and they will reinforce my mini-monitors in the bass dept. i am ok with it.

u can connect the sub DIRECTLY to the outputs of your soundcard - use a Y-connector from radio shack to split the audio signal to your speakers AND your standalone subwoofer.

thanks for the reply joey, but i want to connect the sub DIRECTLY to my a/v receiver. it is currently connected to my pc.

you should be able to hook it up just like any other powered sub to you av receiver. i'm wouldn't expect really great performance from a computer sub in a ht setup but it shouldn't hurt anything either.

excellent! thats what i wanted to get an opinion on... "it wont hurt anything".

... famous last words.
