Speaker System Question


Recommended Posts

This isn't directly related to DCS but I could use some advice on this as it will be something I use for DCS. About a year ago my friend bought a logitech X 540 surround sound speaker system (on craigslist) which has a set of speakers and a subwoofer. The subwoofer did not work at all and is broken, so he sold the whole thing to me for almost nothing. The speakers work fine, however I do want a subwoofer that works. I can't seem to find a replacement sub for this particular set anywhere (except for buying the entire set again, which I don't want to do), however I have found other subwoofers that are sold individually with almost the same amount of audio ports as I have speakers (which is five).

 

 

My question is this: Can I use the speakers from the old set on a different subwoofer (not from that same type of set) that has the roughly same amount of audio ports? I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work as it's just audio jacks but I'm hoping to get advice from those wiser than me. Pics below

The problem you would run into would be with the front right speaker on the 506. The volume control is in the speaker and it uses a serial connection not an rca connection. So the old speaker wont work for the front right. The amp wattage is a tiny bit higher on the 506 but I dont think enough to matter.
