Shouldn't be getting 25k's as they kinda suck, and if you already have bought them, they will work fine off onboard.

Because they fall miles short of other products designed by REAL audio companies in that price range.

i have them. they are pretty bad and i totally regret buying them. i wanted that control pod thingy (which i love) but the speakers just suck overall. there is no clarity at all and when spending $200+ its freakin better.

im not an audiophile but i can appreciate nice audio. this is a waste of money.

And the amp you liked had no sub out of any flavor for passive or active.

The 3.5mm and RCA inputs are the same input (hooked up like a y-splitter). Plus, motherboards have a center channel that'd be easy to use.

RCA is input, 3.5mm is input. But you need an output to get to the sub...

Upon looking into the sub, you can go source, amp, sub, speakers. Which is odd but effective.

No thanks.

Because running the sub and speakers separate would mean that you have to play the balancing game with windows and the amp.

Yeah, I got your point. Why didn't you just mention that from the get-go? :c
