Anonymous | Hello, I'm considering adding two more speakers to my 2.1 system. I don't know if it's safe to try without burning the amp, so if it's possible I'd like to hear some feedback. I own an Altec Lancing ATP3 2.1 system. I also have two Aiwa speakers I would like to add to Altec's amp. There are no additional entries in the amp. The Altec speakers are @ 4 ohm and the Aiwa ones are @ 6 ohm. Altec's right speaker connects to the amp using a custom connector so I guess my only option is to connect the two Aiwa speakers to the RCA-based connector of Altec's left speaker. Your thoughts? Thanks, Asaf |

This will not create a suround system in the sense that the rears would be producing ambience material. So what are you expecting from two more speakers? Do you have any idea what the sensitivity specs of the two pairs of speakers are? |

Anonymous | Hello Jan, Thanks for answering. I want to see whether music can sound better in the sense of a surrounding sound. It is obvious that it cannot produce the same effect as an original surround system ... About the specs, I looked at the user manuals but was not sure what numbers I should report. The Altec system's specs are at http://www.altecmm.com/downloads/ATP3%20sell%20sheet.pdf The Aiwa's speakers specs are on page 38 at http://www.us.aiwa.com/files/manuals/omanuals/S6CL7909016.pdf Thanks. |
