2 S750's with say 12 sats.

Possible to get both subs working correctly? and 2 sats. pretty much 2 sats per channel besides front left and right. Ive got s750 at the moment, 2 per side channel, works fine, but, i know its not exactly awesome because of power output or what ever, how ever if I could hook 2 subs up, and devide the channels between the two, it would be evened out, how im thinking of doing this, is splitting the orange cable to the pc, and run it to both subs, then correctly set up each speaker out put to the right remaining cables and subs, if your following, probably not, and probably because this is rediculus, but, i cant see why the hell not! ideas?
Aiden.

Im not convinced its a good idea to run two speakers in parallel off a single channel on the amp. That halves the impedance and the amp could be damaged by it.
Anyway, on to your question. I see no reason why you couldnt use 3.5mm splitters on the four inputs. Tip, use the splitters with one plug and two sockets connected by cables, the little single unit adapter ones are rubbish. Plug into one amp inputs, output from pc into one socket and 3.5mm jack to jack lead from the other socket to the second amp. Only adverse effect i figure you will get is they will probably sound quieter at a given volume, but they wont be overworked or anything so you can safely just turn it up to get to your normal volume. Will take some fiddling to get the single-speaker fronts the same volume as the double speaker side/rears, and will need to carefully position the two subs so they sound good. Finally, be careful with polarities, you dont want two speakers sitting next to each other (same channel) cancelling themselves out.
Hope this helps.
Im happy to answer any more questions (if i can), and if you try it would love to know how it works for you.

  • Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model

    Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model
    I have an Xserve rack mount model Xserve 2.26 Quad Core (EMC# 2279) with an Apple RAID card, 24GB RAM (running 10.9 Server software)
    Purchased two Western Digital 1TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64MB Cache Black WD1003FZEX drives
    It came with three 160GB SATA drives.  I'm leaving one of the original 160GB drives for the OS, but I want to replace the 2 other drives and set it up with RAID 1 (mirrored). I bought 2 brand new Western Digital 1TB SATA drives and formatted them on another Mac through Disk Utility with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatting.  I then placed the new drives in the Xserve and booted it up.  After I login it immediately gives me 2 error windows saying...
    "Apple RAID Card
    The Apple RAID Card installed in your system requires your attention."
    It has two buttons underneath this message allowing me to either select 'Ignore' or 'Open RAID Utility'
    I've tried to RAID the drives the Disk Utility and through the RAID Utility with no success.
    I have both drives mounted on the desktop, as separate drives, but I really need to set these up as a RAID 1.
    I've been reading other forums, where others have been able to get this to work by using a jumper on certain pins (5 & 6)of the drive to back down the transfer rate to 1.5 Gb per second.  I tried that and it didn't work for me. Maybe I used the wrong pins -- I just don't know.  I'm also wondering if there is some Apple firmware that is required on these drives?  I'm asking for help from anyone who has gone through this same issue.  Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE --  I had an issue with the RAID card battery, it was dead and I have since replaced it.  But I am still unable to setup the RAID 1 drive configuration.  Does anyone know if it has something to do with the faster transfer rates on these new drives.  Maybe they need to be clocked down with certain jumper settings on these Western Digital drives?  Or am I fighting a losing battle because these drives don't have Apple firmware?  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • XP install problem with Maxtor SATA

    I installed XP Pro on an older 4gig IDE drive first, everything booted fine and worked great.  However when I received my Maxtor 250 gig SATA I cannot install XP on it.  The problem is that I copy all the necessary files onto the drive and when XP reboots to get into Windows the first time, it hangs or goes into a reboot loop.  All I get is a blank screen, no error messages.  I followed the "single SATA drive" procedures setting the drive up as a single array as well as just not loading the RAID drivers at all.  Both give the same result.  Also tried switching the SATA connections between 3 and 4. Is this a power supply problem, as it only has 18a on the 12 volt?  The Maxtor drive is detected and installs when booting the 4gig IDE into windows.  Any ideas?
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    Kingston 3200 HyperX
    Maxtor 250GB SATA
    Athlon 64 3000
    Thermaltake 410W
    NEC 2510 DVDRW

    I had similar problems when I setup my system.
    I got a WD 120 GB SATA.  I have XP Home upgrade CD.  I was using a Sony DVD-ROM.  I have built and re-built my older systems using my XP Home CD and never had a problem (and using a DVD-ROM).  
    But with my SATA drive I got errors that some files could not be copied to the hard drive.  Windows would say press "Enter" to try again and then after a few "enters" it would then copy the file and continue.  It would stop about 4 times with this problem.  All files eventually copied, but then Windows would fail duing setup.  Sometimes a BSOD...sometimes Windows setup would say it had encountered an error and could not continue.
    I tried 60 GB partition...80 GB partition.....one time it could not read the drivers from the floppy disk and I had to make a new one.
    I tried everything.  Took out my X800 and put in a TI4200.  Tried different RAM.
    When I (accidently) formatted the HD for one partition (the full 120 GB) it worked perfectly.
    I am still not sure what the problem really was..I wish I knew.  But once I got Windows up and running and updated, my system has been rock solid stable.

  • Msi k9n with 2 sata disc in strip and a plextor sata burner connected

    can all msi k9n motherboards run with 2 sata disc in astripe and a plextor sata dvd burner connected to the sata connectors ?
    I think on following msi boards :
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=730
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=729

    A onboard satacontroller until now controls a pair of sata ports on NF4 and older.
    So with 4 ports native , there is two controllers aka' you enable raid pr. controller as in sata1/2 , sata 3/4 .
    NF570 looks different from NF4 (atleast in the MSI K9N bios) in that way that you can include pr port eg.
    SATA0 Primary =Raid Enabled - SATA0 Secondary=Raid Enabled - SATA1 Primary=Raid Enabled - SATA1 Secondary=Disabled , and so on .
    Why must you absolutely have sata burner , it's nothing gained over a IDE type in the matter of speed .
    Even 16X DVD doesn't utilize 33MB/s that Ultra DMA2 is currently at for IDE burners .
    16X DVD utilize 21MB/s , 54X CDR utilize 8MB/s , so no one needs burners at a sata controller.
    But anyway , a silicon Image or a Promise PCI controller board should work  .

    One thing to keep in mind is that while you'll be amazed at the increase in performance an SSD can deliver over a HD, the two storage mediums work differently, and one of the OS features SSD's benefit from is TRIM. While you've probably seen a lot of discussion and disagreement about that on these forums, this article about the Samsung 840 EVO SSD also goes into how SSD performance changes over time for a variety of SSD's. The narrative is interesting but the graphs are an eye-opener, showing how relatively successful Garbage Collection alone vs GC + TRIM are in recovering full performance. That's the good news.
    The bad news is that while activating TRIM is simple, activating it with Yosemite installed has a real down-side. So if you haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, you might keep that in mind.

  • S750 problem with bluetooth

  • I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD.

    I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD (using a HDD-caddy PATA to SATA) and use that as my OS disk. Is there a speed difference between the ATA connections of the optical drive and the hard drive? Mactracker tells me that the Hard Drive Bus is Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6), but there is no information to the Bus of the optical drive. Is it the same?

    There may be a kit from OWC to replace the optical drive in the old iBook G4 with an SSD. They have similar items for other portable Macs of the era where optical drives still were inside.
    They do have what they call a 'legacy' ATA/IDE SSD series of portable computer drive for use in older type architecture, but I don't see the kit to replace the optical drive with an SSD on the same page... They do offer a live chat on the page, though. So it is possible to ask questions and hope you get matching results...
    •OWC Mercury Legacy Pro:
    For all laptops that use a 2.5" IDE/ATA Drive
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_Legacy_Pro
    I'd considered upgrading my iBook G4 (mid-2005) 12" 1.33GHz computer with an SSD because the original 38GB HDD is rather tight with Leopard OS X 10.5.8 installed and some applications. And it has the max RAM at 1.5GB. Plus it would need a new battery since both batteries from Apple failed early on with low use cycles. I do like the idea of wear-leveling technologies in their Mercury Legacy drives. And some of the external enclosures look durable enough.
    Hopefully they can answer some questions.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Will SATA 11  HD work with sonnet SATA controller

    Hi I need more space and have seen this on eBay
    Will it work with my G4 Giga fitted with a Sonnet Serial ATA (it doesn't say whether or not on the box.)
    I already have a Seagate 7200 3.5 500gb fitted and it works fine.
    If my Sonnet is not compatible what is the biggest HD I can fit using the Sonnet SATA controler?
    TIA

    Hi-
    The Sonnet SATA controller will support up to the current 1TB models.
    Not sure about the "kit". The software that is included is most probably PC. And, there are no guarantees that the cables provided will work for you. Typically, a 270º connector is best for the data cable. Depending on the drive, some have "legacy" Molex power connectors, so the power cable wouldn't be necessary. And, as with the data cable, a 90º power cable would allow better fit when closing the door of the tower.
    But, if the price is right, it could be cheaper than a bare drive alone, and you don't have to use the rest of the kit...
    If it 's just the Seagate hard drive, the 7200.11 1TB will work. So will the Hitachi 7K1000 1TB drive. And, so will the Western Digital GP 1TB drive.
    While no specific information that it is needed, the Seagate has a jumper to force 1.5Gb/s. The WD drive has a similar "Opti 1" jumper. The drives should auto negotiate to the lower transfer rate, so this should not be an issue with SATA II drives and the Sonnet.
