SWklipsch Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I have the speakers for a 4.1 promedia setup that are NIB, but no sub (unfortunately fell victim to a 'deal' on ebay only to find out later the sub was not included). What would work better ??? 1) trying to find a sub to match this system? OR 2) would a promedia SWS woofer do the job instead? OR 3) would a sub from a promedia 5.1 do the trick? The 5.1 sub appears to have a separate control module for the sub where the 4.1 setup has the sub control on one of the satellites. That's one reason I don't know if the 5.1 sub would work or not.

GooseChaser Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 You didn't mention a receiver to power the satellites... The SWS is a subwoofer and it does not have amplifiers for the satellites like other real stand alone subwoofers. Without a receiver, you'll need a klipsch 4.1 or 5.1 subwoofer to power the satellites. If you don't have a spare receiver to do this, you will need to buy one plus a subwoofer. But, that's not exactly cost effective... A 5.1's subwoofer would work but I think you will need the 5.1 control pod as well. I don't know whether the 4.1 control pod is compatible. Call klipsch to find out whether they sell the subwoofers by themselves and how much. By the way, how much did you pay for the satellites on Ebay?

SWklipsch Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 Thanks for the feeback on the SWS. I'll call Klipsch to see if they have any refurbished units to sell. $69 on ebay for the 4 speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Blank Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Ebay does suck. Its a fact. I would reccomend going after a 5.1 sub to power the satellites. After all, when you have the chance to get a more powerful sub, why pass it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
