Short answer: not possible, sorry.

Long answer: the only way to get surround sound is to use multiple outputs and multiple amplification points, and then drive multiple speakers.

You can 'fake' some effects, though. For example, partially selecting bands from Left and Right can form a Center. Spatializing between Center and Right will make a Front-Right, and so on. But this is NOT true surround sound. This is a way to 'surround yourself with sound', yes, but it has nothing to do with more than two channels of audio.

How do you wire 2 subwoofers to a mono amplifier?

What are Pre-Amp outputs?

They are RCA type connectors on the back of your Head Unit (Radio). There are 2 connections, usually blue and white, the cord for this has the same connectors on both ends. The Pre-Amp outputs are a direct line for the Signal from your Head Unit to go directly to an Amplifier (you will see similar connections on your Amplifier as you see on the back of your Head Unit), so when you run speaker wire from your Amplifier, the speakers will play the sound (Music) your Head Unit is producing no matter if its from the CD or FM/AM tuner or AUX input like from an I-Pod.Another AnswerA pre-amplifier, which is also known as a 'control unit', a high-fidelity unit which is separate from, but which must be used together with, a 'power amplifier'.Pre-amplifier/power amplifier units are normally regarded as 'high end' equipment and tend to be very expensive. The pre-amplifier unit is equipped with inputs for phono, CD-player, tuner, and various other auxiliary units and (usually) provides a single pair (right- and left-channels) audio outputs for connection to the power amplifier. The pre-amplifier is the unit which provides the volume control, tone controls, filters, etc., while the power amplifier simply amplifies the output from the pre-amplifier unit. The output usually takes the form of a pair of RCA connectors, usually colour coded white and red.Some 'home theatre' amplifiers provide a 'pre-amplifier' output, which bypasses its internal power amplifier, for the purpose of adding external power amplifiers, if desired.


What changes sound waves into electrical signals sends them over a distance and changes them back into sound waves?

Changing sound waves into electromagnetic signals is the basic function of a microphone. The electromagnetic signal may be sent through a wire or broadcast as an electromagnetic wave such as a radio wave.Sound waves are gathered by a thin material that vibrates when the sound hits it (microphone) - The material has a magnet attached on the back surrounded by a coil of wire. The magnet vibrates inside the coil and creates a voltage/current in the coil. Wires from the coil are connected to an antenna which is a special shaped conductor. The current moving up & down in the antenna creates EM waves which radiate out into space. This is the basic idea. The actual circuit will have an amplifier to increase the electricity, from the coil, before sending it to the antenna.


What happens when you have a 4 ohm and a 2 ohm sub hooked up to an amplifier?

Yes, you can wire a 6 ohm sub with a 4 ohm sub to the same amplifier, but you need to verify that the amplifier can handle the resulting impedance of 2.4 ohms - many cannot, and could be destroyed. Also, realize that the power in the 4 ohm sub will be greater than the power in the 6 ohm sub.


Can a 8 ohm speaker replace a 6 ohm speaker?

You need to find out how many ohm's your deck is pushing out and make sure you have the right grade speaker wire so you don't under power the speakerRubbish. A "deck" doesn't "push out" ohms.An amplifier is designed to develop a stated power in a stated impedance, and that is based on the amplifier's ability to deliver current.An amplifier designed to deliver maximum output to a 6 ohm load can safely drive an 8 ohm one. But it will not be able to develop its maximum power.

What is a monoblock?

In reference to a car stereo amplifier it is a term used to descibe an amplifier that that has only a single-channel output, meaning you can only wire a single speaker to it unless you wire multiple speakers in a parallel or series circuit.

How does the sound of wireless compare with wire surround sound?

I would say no, I am disappointed in the wireless system I have.


I can barely hear it all the way up and sound is only one speaker. It was working good. How do you get sound from RDX 10 home surround system?

Look for a speaker wire touching another connector on the back of the amplifier, sounds like it could be a shorted speaker wire. Turn the volume down and turn the power off first.


how do i install surround sound hdtv?

When you buy the surround sound hdtv, there will be instruction with it. Just do it as directed, step by step, connecting each wire to its inlet.It is pretty easy and takes little a time.


Is 22 gauge speaker wire for surround sound work?

It is better to use 16 gauge or 14 gauge speaker wire for your home theater applications.


Can you use the tv as the center channel?

If you're talking about getting true surround sound, then generally no. Some flat screens come with speakers that are connected to the tv with speaker wire specifically so you can disconnect it from the TV and plug it into your surround receiver, but other than that....no. The problem is that in surround sound you have 5 (or more) speakers each getting a specific part of the audio to play. Stuff happening on the right rear of the soundstage in the movie comes out of the right rear speaker etc. The television speaker has no such capability so when you turn it on it's going to play all the sound in stereo. It can be done but it won't sound right.


Speaker Wire?

When you want to upgrade your stereo and surround sound systems, be sure to upgrade the speaker wire as well. You will want to use a larger cable and better connections, possibly gold plated to ensure that you get the best sound out of your equipment.


What type of wire do you need for a car amplifier?

Speaker wire.


How do you get four pairs of speakers into a receiver?

you could connect them all to each other then connect them to the receiver. or if you wanted a surround sound experience you could connect the biggest directly to the left and right channels respectively and then connect two of the pairs one set at a time as follows... left surround front (positive to receiverL+, negative connects to the positive of the left surround rear, negative of the left surround rear goes into the receiverL- ) on the right side ( right surround front + goes to receiver, (-) goes to the (+) of the right surround rear, the (-) of the right surround rear goes into the receiver.) this changes the sound frequencies the speakers are best at supporting because it changes the ohms of the speakers. this is called wiring in a series. as opposed to wiring the speakers all together + to + ,- to - , which is called wiring in parallel. Then with the last set of speakers set them at the very rear of the soundstage and wire the left speaker's positive into the left positive connection on the receiver then the negative of that speaker into the positive of the right channel. Then wire the positive of the right speaker into the positive of the right channel on the receiver and the negative of the right speaker into the positive of the left channel. this will only play the surround channels of the signal. test these speakers out alone if you want to hear the surround sound effect by itself. In music it will be the background singers ect. (if you have ever wondered how a surround system gets extra channels out of two analog wired channels now you know :)


Why do I only get full sound out of my left channel both external sound cards using a TASCAM US122 MKii external sound card I can hear slight sound from right channel when left channel is muted?

You may have a loose wire and it is causing you to hear only slight sound from the right channel when the left channel is muted. If you are getting full sound out of your left channel external sound cards using a TASCAM US122 MKii external sound card, those wires are probably connected correctly.


What gauge speaker wire for car amplifier install?

Depends on the output of the amplifier.


What makes the pickup guitar make sound?

A guitar pickup is wire coiled around a magnet. When the string vibrates, it causes the magnet to vibrate, which creates an electric current in the wire. The signal created by that electric current is then fed into the amplifier which converts it to sound.
