Logitech G51 5.1 with bookshelf speakers

CivilDrone · 27 Dec 2012 at 05:28

Morning

I don't know much about audio and sound and was wondering if someone could help me out. I would like to replace my current 5 speakers with 2 bookshelf speakers.

I wish to plug them into the sub-woofer that came with Logitech g51. I am guessing i'd have to plug them into red and white ports.

where it says Left Right AUX

After that i am a bit lost. If speakers connect to sub-woofer, then how do i connect subwoofer to pc.

Can someone in the know explain this process please?

Thanks for reply. Managed to pull this info about my sub:
Subwoofer: 56 watts RMS (into 2 ohms, @ 100Hz, @ 10% THD)
It says 2 ohms. Do ohms suppose to match with speakers? or ohms is like a power level of an amp? the higher it is the louder speakers becouse? Taking into account that speakers have high ohms as well?

I am planning to get Edifier R1600T which is on sale now

I don't really know if thats going to work but i think i am better off as i am right now since my sub/amp is not powerful enough. Am i right?
my current sub has built in amp i think, or is it the case with all subs?

should i just buy Edifiers and replace the whole thing? just leave speakers on its own? and try and get rid of g51?

that kinda make sense, but wouldn't sub work independent from edifiers? from what i understand, and i dont know much is that edifiers r 2.0? and anything with sub is basically 2.1, 5.1, 7.1 and so on?

yep, chucked them on the MM forum and ebay, will go regardless of the price as i already made up my mind in regards to edifiers

Also thinking which sound card to get. had Asus xonar dg but fancy something with actual driver updates

How can you actually tell?
I am thinking of hooking speakers directly to the pc with no sub or amp. Bad idea?
