[QUOTE="FantaXP7, post: 410791, member: 88166"] What pc speakers exactly do you have? I am really familiar with cambridge soundworks stuff. Most likely you will not be able to use it for an alternate sub. Check out this onkyo htib [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882120085]Newegg.com - ONKYO HT-S3100 Black 5.1 Channel Home Theater System[/url] It is like the one my father has but a bit cheaper.
