Hi there,
I would like to know if there's anything out there that must have 7.1 or at least 5.1 minimum outputs and with 7.1\5.1 analog inputs that is class D and must be dirty cheap, don't need too much quality or too much power, just something OK as it's only mostly for gaming to connect to my PC soundcard analog outputs.
And I need it to have separate volume control per channel and crossover settings pear each pair of speakers (Front, Side, Rear and center separately).
I have a Receiver that does this all but it's way too big for my room, it's inside my wardrobe for years since I bought it and I don't need any of the TV and many other extra inputs\outputs that the receiver has...
ps: I don't even know what I'm looking for but never found such thing yet and like I said must be super cheap like around 100€ max even if I have to buy used and must be from EUROPE.
Thank You

Buy a used multimedia 5.1, disassemble and install in a new case in Europe.. DIY 🙂
Buy several ChinaChipamps ($2-10), a suitable power supply for them, several pots, a case and assemble them together in Europe.. DIY 🙂

I wouldn't mind following a super easy tut for DIY, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for and for like configuring all of that and having like at least a small display would have to go with stuff like Arduino which I never used such things😕
If I had money I'd buy something like Edifier S760D and call it done but they are very hard to come by and expensive, I mean my current 5.1 were free despite the bookshelfs sounding super horrible...
I also already bought 3 tweeters dayton audio td20f-4 to put on the bookshelf speakers cause they have a horrible plastic tweeter even though it's a real one and not piezoelectric but sound almost as bad... Dayton audio td20f-4 are probably the best tweeters EVER for their price, 10€ each brand new and are pretty damn flat from 2500hz and up as long as it's directly in front...

The sound of any multimedia system can be partially improved (within the limits defined by the design). A certain effect is given by the replacement of front speakers. Depends on your requirements, skills and characteristics of the system.👍
DIY upgrade option.

Yep but they are like this:
(as flat as it gets for 10€ tweeters and they are also neodymium which will make them remain the same probably for ever).
Auna Linie 300 or some crap, but I'm currently using them with my Logitech Z5500 subwoofer and it's built-in 5.1 amplifier.
They are GARBAGE, stay away from AUNA brand, in fact it's incredible how the bookshelf speakers sound much worse than my original plastic single driver full range from the Logitech Z5500 computer speakers which on my soundcard and a bit of equalizing sound pretty crystal clear for gaming, now with those Auna speakers I barely understand what ppl say cause they are very muddy or like they are inside the sewers unless sound from the rear which sound pretty OK from the tower speakers which actually have a crossover and OK tweeter...
I have mine in black with the 2 bookshelf speakers in white, I'm totally happy with the 2 tower speakers though and they are the rear surround speakers here cause I don't have space for them in the front.
The center speaker I already changed the tweeter, but I still need to decide what cap I want to use to buy 3 same caps.
I have this older thread with pictures of them, I filled them with cotton 🙂 https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/auna-linie-300-fix-tweeter.366868/#post-6524304
Now I need a OK super cheap 7.1 or 5.1 amp for them like I said and must have volume control per channel and crossover settings per each pair of channels and must be small cause my receiver doesn't fit in my room and I don't even need the huge extra inputs\outputs of it and I won't even connect it to the TV either...

I already saw crazy mods for Z5500 many time ago including changing a lot of components to make it go Hi-Fi, but mine is still fully working and not something I would do anyway, they are actually worthing a lot nowadays while I bought them for like 250€ back in like 2005 and I see some ppl selling for like 1000€ now LOL
Do you think calculating the capacitor for 2500hz will be a bad idea? should I really buy one to stay as close to 3000hz as possible?
I want to use the tweeters with no crossover, just 1 cap and want as low frequency as possible cause the woofers suck too and they will surely be all over the place in terms of frequency response, no info on them but by ear they are purely HORRIBLE...

3,3 mkf (nonpolar or film)+(1-3 om 5w).
Over time, you can replace the top mid(woofer) with an inexpensive Dayton (sale) ...
You only need a soldering iron. But the wires can just be twisted...
DIY forever 🙂
