*Update* You can also use a 2 channel amp and have 2 subwoofers. I did this, and lowered my cost by . There are a number of ways, Im just finding the cheapest one. The whole story behind me making a subwoofer system for my computer, started when the original subwoofer box i had made (if you want to check it out, its on my channel) puked on me after I had messed around on it. For some reason the reciever wouldn't work, or even get a power signal. I figured that this was the best time for me to actually build a nice subwoofer system for my computer, and later for my car (when I get one). So, for about a month, I had been looking all over for how I could do this. This included many hours on youtube, and other websites with video tutorials. I found out that most videos don't go into the nitty-gritty in actually wiring the subwoofer to the amp. Right now, I'm under the idea that you can not hook up a sub to an amp unless it is a 5 or mono channel amp. I might be wrong. So, I had pondered with the idea of using a car reciever, but figured out I wouldnt need one if I hook up my Sub to my computer, along with regular computer speakers. So, I finally decided that I would use the amp only for the subwoofer. Then wire RCA cables from the amps input, to my computers sub input on the back of the mother board. This seemed to be the cheapest way since I would not need to have a reciever nor car speakers and spending on speaker wire. Then in buying the materials, I found the best ...

Computers used to come with a small mono speaker placed in the back. All they were used for were short beeps that communicated messages from the BIOS. One beep would mean the computer is functioning properly while two beeps would refer to a boot issue. This is still the case with many computers. Computer speakers have come a long way since they were first created. From that first diagnostic beep to full multimedia capabilities computer speakers have matured alongside the personal computer.

The first revolution in computer speakers occurred during the transition between text based computing (as experienced in a DOS system) and a more visual experience (first widely introduced in Windows 3.1). Now that there were visual aspects to computing (maximizing and minimizing windows, clicking icons etc.) sounds became associated with these visual effects.

I am sure many of you remember the sound that Windows 95 made when you started it up! These sounds (stored as .wav files) became more and more advanced. Short music files were looped and accompanied the first games increasing their immersion factor. Sound became an integral part of computer use.

All of these sounds were generated by the sound capabilities provided on the motherboard. As the sound demanded by these programs increased, separate sound cards were developed to deal with the required complexity. These sound cards were able to do the necessary computations in order to generate richer, fuller sound; the CPU of the computer was no longer required to handle these tasks. Now the sound cards were dedicated to providing the best possible sound experience to the end-user.

The introduction of the mp3 file brought music into the mainstream for computer users.

Now they could listen to their favourite artist while doing their normal computer tasks. Now there was a reason to provide separate computer speakers to drive the listening experience. These speakers originally were just two tweeters and were low in power. As they advanced in quality a subwoofer was added enhancing the deep bass abilities. In time, these have progressed to full 5.1 systems (5 speakers providing surround sound along with a subwoofer).

The latest multimedia computer speaker systems can match, and even exceed the quality found in bookshelf speakers. They have become more aesthetically pleasing to the workspace and often provide that extra touch to the decor of a room. Technically, they can now provide exquisite sound along the whole spectrum of audio wavelengths with strong low ranges and crystal clear high ranges. Having that extra sound experience can improve the watching of videos or provide that extra immersion when playing video games.

Try this experiment. Use your computer for a full week without having the speakers turned on. You will quickly realize the benefits of a quality computer speaker system. Computer speakers have advanced in all categories since their beginnings in the early 1980′s.

Put it this way, if you don't want it, tell me where you live and I'll go get it :-) It's not an excellent system, but it will work in a small to medium venue. I grabbed a Behringer single speaker for $ 150 last month. It had only a 5" speaker, but it was good enough for a quick PA system.
