Question about using more than one amp
Okay, I'm a newbie when it comes to speakers and that kinda stuff. As
of a few days ago I had a fully working Logitech X-540 speaker system
for my computer. Not the loudest in the dorm, but able to contend
with
them. Then my subwoofer went out. Logitech, being the great company
that they are offered me a full replacement if I sent them the wired
control module (set won't work without it).
So.
I have a fully fuctioning new set in the mail, destined to arive
sometime soon, and the old set with 5 fully functioning speakers (5
of
6, minus sub). I'm going to buy spliters so I can hook both sets up
(10 satellites, 1 sub). The problem is power consumption. I know from
my digital electronics class that a system pulling nearly double it's
recommened power isn't good.
The subwoofer doubles as the amp/hub of the system so I don't think
it's replacable. Is there a way I can suplement it with another 120
watt amp? Or should I buy an amp that can handle both systems and a
new sub (because the sub doesn't have an output)?
