Could I use 2x 2.1ch speakers to make 4.2ch or something?

[Ashiella]

I have two sets of speakers, 4 tweets, and 2 subs with similar sound, could I plug them both in and have the sound be like surround or, how would I make this work? (if at all) my motherboard supports 7.1ch audio for all the speakers in Aux so....

yep, but almost no one uses 4 channel these days.

So? How would I set it up?

plug the second set of speakers into your rear jacks on your board and set it up in the audio driver.

Config the line-in as a line-out or get one of those cheap 3.5mm splitters.

They are like 50 cents or a buck

You should be able to config the blue one as a line-out.

But that's up to the audio driver to figure that out. That's what you need to use to tell the blue plug to be a line-out connection.

Assuming you've got two 2.1 systems, each with a single 3.5mm stereo jack input, plug one set in as you normally would, which will give you a front 2.1 system, and then plug the second system into the Rear R/L jack. This won't give you a proper x.2 system, where the low frequencies are separated between two sub-woofers to match their range, but will give a 2.1 system for the rear outputs.

 

As has already been stated, very little has ever used a 4.1 system, so you may not get much benefit from this. What you could do is use the Centre/Sub output into the second system, which will send the Centre channel down one of the speakers and the sub should be filtered out of the satellite speakers and through the sub (essentially a 3.1 system). I can't promise it'll be a good experience, but feel free to try it.
