6 speakers + my laptop

KnJ · 02:18 AM

Hello.

I want to connect 6 speakers to my laptop.
Now, I have 3 amps, 6 speakers, and my laptop.
The 6 speakers have different sounds each. ( That makes me confused....)
Even, I need loud sound.

How can I connect?

I'll give you the information about my speakers and amps.

amp1 : 50 + 50 W, 8ohm. (But, there are 4 sets of terminal)
amp2 : 30W, 8ohm. (only mono... stereo doesn't work)
amp3 : 250 + 250 W, 8ohm (there are 2 sets of terminal)

speaker1 (x1) : rms 60W, 8ohm
speakers2 (x2) : rms 75W, 8ohm
speakers3 (x3) :rms 100W, 8ohm total 6 speakers

I can I connect them to my laptop?
I'm waiting for your help~

What are all of those speakers, 2-way, 3-way, subs - what?

All of them are just full range passive speaker drivers.
I'll connect the amp to the speaker directly.
That's not for a common hi-fi system.
Just for my project~
Help me~~

that's too confusing, connect them all to one amp3.
I'd make two sets for stereo, so each set has 2 speakers wired in parallel and 1 in series ~ 12ohm.

You have five amp channels and 6 speakers. Something's gotta give.

In that case(all to one amp3)... I'm wondering if I can have different six channel sound from each speaker.

Next question, are you sure the amps are rated for 8ohms minimum?

What do you mean stereo doesn't work? Do both speaker outputs work when set to mono but not when the switch is set to stereo?

KnJ · 20th July 2011, 03:04 AM

I don't think so.
That's in that rms.
I mean... not minimum.

That works well for stereo. But, the one set of terminals was dead...........
So, only one sets of terminal(1 red, 1 black) can be working
