In Reply to: Connecting 2 sets of rear speakers for Dolby Digital.... posted by HL on February 11, 2000 at 08:36:41:
Other than to experiment, maybe because you have an extra pair of speakers laying around, what's the point of doing this? Some processors (e.g., the Proceed AVP) have provisions for side and rear channel effects. Most don't. I assume your's doesn't, otherwise it would also come with the preamp or speaker jacks for side & rear channels.Do you have an especially large room? If it is, and the side speakers are to cover the larger space, perhaps this makes sense. I believe you can find simple boxes at Radio Shack, and more expensive ones at hi fi stores which allow you to split and distribute audio to different speakers.
Otherwise, if you're just experimenting, keep in mind that it's just as likely that you are going to muck up your sound by tapping an additional set of speakers, of a different design from your rears, on to a receiver whose surround processing and amps were not designed to decode movies in this fashion. You'll have localized sound coming out of the sides, plus the difuse sound from the rears all jumbled up. It may not sound as good as using the setup the receiver was designed for.
