c/sub port on a sound card

[Emmett Turner 22]

how will i know what subs will work with it or not ( does the port output stereo / mono / lfe or how does it work my sound card is the creative zxr and was wondering how i could add a decent sub to my speaker system

my set is a 5.0 set of klipsch quintet iv satellites paired with a klipsch 450w subwoofer and pioneer vsx30 receiver. while not everyone likes klipsch's tractrix horn design (its a bit bright and vibrant) they sound great to me. i would have liked to get bookshelves, but honestly didnt want to pay the cost (as is my system was over $1300). i've heard the klipsch larger sets and agree i'd like to own a set in the future.

for instance you could...

put the receiver under the printer with a small stand to keep the two separated for heat dispersion.
put it under your monitor
put the pc case on the floor, receiver in the corner with pc monitor on the one side or up on an arm
put a taller shelf with more levels left of your desk for more stuff

to name a few. your own choice what you plan on doing though. getting a receiver is going to be cheaper than an amp as you wont find many cheap lower end but high power amps worth noting.

i have a receiver but its wired into my home theater http/usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/rx-v740/ im probly thinking of going the shelf route and make bigger custom cables and get some kinda power amp example http/usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hifi-components/amps/a-s301/?mode=model

oh and moving the comp to the floor aint a option i got thick carpet and i have bottom fans
(side note where is my profile avatar i uploaded one 2 hrs ago XO nvm it finnaly showed up YAY
( i love klipsch and cerwin vega both brands sound great to me ) i might settle for these http/www.amazon.com/Cerwin-Vega-XLS-6-2-Way-Bookshelf-Speaker/dp/B002JH4L1G/ref=sr_1_1?&ie=UTF8&qid=1436326060&sr=8-1&keywords=Cerwin-Vega+XLS-6 since its more affordable haha
((( wouldnt your set up be 5.1 since you have a sub ;p )))

60wx2 isnt too much power output for the money. its likely enough for running a pair of bookshelf speakers at moderate volume levels (so likely all you need) but given the price its not as budget efficient or friendly for sure. the yamaha however is a quality unit worth the price. for a lower price receiver units typically offer some stronger amplification at the expense of larger size. your choice what route you end up going, i'm just making a statement not trying to push you one way or the other.

the solution to placing computers on the floor in carpeted rooms is to set them on a board or small stand. i used to run my previous pc on the floor in this manner for 6 years straight without issue and dust was not really an issue. your choice though but it would free up some desk room for you.

yes, i do have a 5.1 setup however the quintet (which means 5) is sold as a 5 piece satellite speaker set (in its own box) which is why i listed it as such. the sub was purchased seperately to make it a 5.1. i list it like this to avoid confusion between HTIB sets or individually purchased speakers.

those cerwins are $125 each or $250 per pair. the klipsch rb-41 are $200/pair, rb-51 $250/pair, rb-61 $350/pair. then you get the popular kb-15 speakers for $220/pair. lots of good choices for klipsch for your budget, if you dont concentrate on ones out of budget that is.

yeah in all honestly i dont need much power for my computer set up 90Wpc would be fine for me id like to get some kinda amp that has a+b selector use so i can bi wire speakers that have dual binding posts, or use two sets of speakers. oh and my profile picture is just a shot of vasto lorde from bleach . i was looking at the kilipsh kb and rb speakers but they dissapeard off amazon for 2 months.
