Hi there.
I have a Hi Fi Stereo System that uses the standard 2 channel speaker outputs(L & R) that the speaker wires clamp into.
I also have the choice of purchasing another Stereo system quite cheap that has the 2 standard speaker wire input slots, as well as 2 RCA Surround Sound input slots(L & R).
I currently have my current stereo system wired in parallel with 4 speakers(all connected directly into the stereo), so that the sound comes out of all 4 speakers.
I already know all the ohm impedance stuff and how to calculate the ohm impedance, I have worked it out and the speakers are all the same ohm impedance rating, so im not too concerned or interested in that bit of it.
What i'd like to know is, what would be the difference between how I have my current stereo wired up(4 parallel directly into stereo) and between having the 2 extra dedicated surround sound output RCA slots, if any??
apart from being wired different and having dedicated output slots, what's the actual difference? or does sound output differently when using with the 2 dedicated surround output slots?
that's from the manual of the stereo system im looking at purchasing. as you can see, the 2 front speakers clamp into the regular speaker output slots as found on every other stereo system.
however, for 2 extra speakers, rear left and rear right, it has extra RCA slots to be able to connect extra speakers.
this picture is from the manual of the current model i have. as you can see, the 2 speakers plug in normally into the speaker slots but it has no extra output slots for any other speakers to go into.
just wondering what the difference would be in regards to running 2 extra speakers via the surround sound outputs as opposed to running the 2 extra speakers the way ive got it hooked up currently(bi-wired).
essentially its the same thing isn't it? just without the 2 extra output slots?
