Power sub through 2.0 speakers?

[zinnkio]

Hi guys

So I have the Creative T40 2.0 speakers and I want it's volume knob to be the main controller of volume for an overall 2.1 system.

The input to the T40s is a 3.5mm aux from the computer. The right speaker has an RCA connector leading to the left speaker. Is it possible to split this RCA cable to feed into the left speaker and an active subwoofer and will it up the output of the sub like it does the speakers.

Any help is appreciated!

I wager the connection between the 2 spkrs is active, meaning yes, you can split, but sub needs to have the ability to take HIGH LEVEL input, and its own crossover knob.

The sub will only produce the bass present on the right channel. That may or may not be acceptable but can't hurt to try it.
You could open the active speaker and connect wires from the speaker terminals outside the cabinet so you can connect both channels.
