Hey /g/, recently acquired a 5.1 surround sound amp from my aunt who didnt need it anymore. Want to hook it up to my current system, however with the way everything is set up in my basement I pretty much won't be able to do a 5.1 setup, trying to manage speakers in the back will be a pain in the ass. I was thinking of just wiring the front/center speakers and leaving it at that. On a 2.1 surround sound setup I assume that it outputs all frequencies to the 3 speakers. By upgrading to 5.1 and leaving out the back speakers will I miss a large amount of frequencies? Like will it my overall sound sound different wired on a 5.1 setup w/o back speakers vs a 2.1 amplifier?
If your amp is anything like mine, it should have a way to configure it to output 3.1. It should then automatically downmix to 3.1.
Btw, if you have 2 front channels, 1 center channel and 1 subwoofer, your setup is 3.1 not 2.1.

i thought that too, but I don't even know if there are settings on this thing. It's pic related btw. All it seems to have is a volume knob.

Those things are literally house fire tier.
Wow, the back of this one from the video is literally the same as the one i have, minus a few written pieces on it. I even tried to look for the remote in the Smart IR Remote (which by the way had a hi-fi speaker system from 1995 that im still currently using), and it couldn't find the exact model of it, only one that half worked. By the way the subwoofer is literally a clone of the one in the vid I can pretty much say yeah this is easily part of the white van speaker scam. Maybe I'll try to sell this set to a pawn shop and use the money to repair my current system.
