Ok - Sorry my nick name is wierd. Im not gay or anything just thought it would be funny! :D
Back to the point.
Ok. I like to have BIG BASS. here is that i want to do.
I want to purchase (2)2.1 Cyber Acoustic CA-3080 3-Piece Flat Panel Design Speaker System - the price is 39.99. Anyway that subwoofer is only 24 Watts. and the speakers are really weak.
I also want to purchase
(2)ROCKBOX600 WATT 10" HI-PERFORMANCE SUBWOOFER - PRices is 19.99
So You probobly have guessed it . I want to take out the 24Wat Sub, and replace it with this 600 Watt Sub. Im not going to crank it up to the full 600 Watts because I dont want to blow the sub. and the PC.
----------------------------
Now I am doing this becaue Iw ant to set both of them to 300 watt each and put them on the side of me - then I will later use 1 for pc and the other one use it for my Television. Or do that at start.
So is 600 Watts For a PC Ok? or if i use both and crank it up to almost full so about 500 Watts Each, Will that be ok?
I know speakers might be a problem. But If i just replace the parts- I know speakers only add like 15 Watts. So they will be ok.
What do you guys think. I know this is insane 1000 or 1200 Watts, but I like bass and I also like 2 play movies and videogames on my pc.
I have a soundblaster Card. Right now I have 2.1 19 Watt Subwoffer. and I can hook up (2) 2.1 to my sound card. So I am just going to do that. for the (2) 600 watt subs.
1500Watt Sound System? Will it blow the computer?

lol dood, first off, dont turn for cyberacoustics for sattalites, there crap! Buy something from altec lansing, Klipsch or logitech. If add anything to thoes satt's you will way overpower thoes POS's. And id turn away from that cheapo sub youre going to get for 20 dollars..I bet you my klipsch promedia 2.1's, about 120$ new will slaughter thoes cyber aucoustics speakers, and the sub on the Promedia is probally way higher quailty than that ROCKBOX!!11 10". You have to under stand that computer speakers these days, they have small amps if none, that can push maybe 30-70 watts or so, and they can produce good volumes, take example the Altec lansing mx5021's they are rated at about 70 or 80 watts RMS, they sound very aucoustically correct, there a great set of speakers. And my klipsch speakers, rated at about 200 watts rms, 130 for the sub, 35 for each satt channel, this is alot of watts for a computer speaker system these days. But the altecs do the job also very good at only 80 watts total system power. One thing, Save you're money and buy some good quality speakers. I bet thoes sub youre going to buy wont go below 50hz or so. 600 watts my ass for 20 dollars, they probally run on D batterys. And as far as running 600 watt speakers with a computer it dosent really matter, as long as you have a spillter, one 1/8 mini jack for the main's(the satts n sub) and the other for the sub, you may need a 1/8 mini jack to 1/4 rca adapter maybe, if you play on running REAL subs. i would like to go on and on about speakers, if you need anyhelp ill PM you my aim addy.
opps forgot, you wont really be able to 'replace' youre sub, while running thoes sattalites, unless you turn the so called bass from the cyber acoustics, it wont be worth it, you will over power thoes sattalites in no time.
fugg it

also unless you are going to change the amp in the sub box you wont get 600 watts anyway. You will be hooking a 600 watt sub to a 15 watt source. ANd a high power sub needs high power to run it. So your resultant sound will be LOWER and WORSE than with the sub that is in there now.
I have a cyberacustic 2.1 speaker system with a 6" sub in a TINY box. Its NOT huge bass but it still sounds alright.
There are other ways to get big bass if thats what you want. BUt doing it the way you want will end up costing you a bunch of money, and then it still wont sound the way you want, so you will turf all that and get what you should have int he first place.

be careful with bargains like that as the 600 Watts is probly PMPO and not RMS.
I bought a 800 watt (PMPO) 5.1 sound kit and its WEAK.
theres always a catch....

you gotta remember too that your 800 watts is over 6 channels. plus they usually include the sub in that figure. Your sub is prolly set at 150 watts, and then usually 100 max to the other speakers. But since you have 800 total (claimed) it is possible you have 120 max per speaker and then 200 for the sub.
Plus the speakers usually hold you back more on a system like yours, NOT the amp.

ok the guy that posted right after u was right, if u think u r gonna get any bass outta a 24 watt amp, to 600 watt subs, u must be smokin crack. i think u have no electrical skill at all really and will probably fry all u equiptment in fowl swoop. now if u want a cheap set up that works well, try this:
goto walmart, buy a mini home theater system, about 150 up to 400 bucks, doesnt matter really, just make sure i has a stand alone sub, next bring it home, get a patch cord 1/8 to stereo rca, get a good 1, like 15 bucks, not the 3 dollar walmart 1, it will signal bleed, then hook up to out on pc, run to cd-in on back of mini theater package, run u tv into the aux or phone in, and guess what all done, if u want more bang, then u get a box and sub, duel coil preferably, and run jumper between pos and neg on coil and run 2 leads out of box, next seperate amp from sub on mini theater, find main lead to built in sub, cut ONLY 1 wire, and attach both leads from bigger sub u got to each end ecentually what u r doing is still utalizing the mini sub, but have created a sub in series, this will lover the ohm's and give deeper bass, but caution, dont turn amp up all the way, amp is only ment to run sub it came with and u will probably trip the thermal switch, to many times and u blow the amp. there have it a easy and pretty powerful HTPC, any ?'s, just re-post, ill check back hope this helps
