Hi,
This is probably pretty basic, but I wanted you guys' thoughts on this!
I got a new computer, which has the 'basic' and small external speakers. I have a JBL subwoofer and 2 bigger speakers from an older computer that I'd like to incorporate somehow.
My question is about tapping off the sound card's output jack...specifically, can I just 'tie on' in parallel and feed :whatever:, or should I buffer the output, feed the existing small spkrs., and then feed the 'secondary system' of the JBL's? It is a splitting issue - I could probably just do this with an opamp to give me good input Z and low output Z, right?
Getting power to the JBL's and all that should be straight-forward. I just don't want to run into issues like burning out the sound card by putting too much of a load on it, ha ha. I know a bit about audio electronics, zero about computer audio tho.
Thanks for ideas!
