Can I fix this kit with 5:1 speaker set without an home theatre amplifier

I'm not sure I understand your question - did the amp supplied with the buttkicker die? And are you trying to use the Buttkicker with just a 5.1 receiver?

Speaker has to match the amplifier. These are unidirectional microphones. Any good quality system is OK.

I have this USB card and I like it. I use the optical digital output to my home theater (DVD) system and that works well. Do your 5.1 speakers have separate inputs for r, l, sub, and rear? With this system, it has 2 options for 5.1: either digital optical, or 4 separate wires running to inputs in your 5.1 system. In my case, I did not have 4 separate analog inputs for these speakers, so digital optical was my only option. If you do not have digital optical or 4 analog inputs on your 5.1 system, then I would not get this product.

Make sure you go through the "Speaker-Setup" routine as described in the manual. I believe the factory settings are geared towards a 5.1 setup. You need to change it to a 2-speaker setup.

I would also recommend using the proper gauge wire for the amplifier and speakers. Thanks

No, you need a separate 5.1 Channel amplifier. This is not a "Home Theater in a Box". You need something like "Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver" - which will provide enough power to the speakers (as mentioned for this model, 10-120W / channel). Hope this helps.

I just set this system up in my living room and I did not have room for all 7 speakers. The manual states to set up the L & R surround speakers and not the back speakers for 5.1 sound. I followed the manual and ran the auto speaker calibration and it sounds great. The surround effect is amazing watching DVDs and cable TV movies.

I've never had the desire to do anything like that with my 5400, but I'm pretty sure you can't simply swap between 5.1 and 2, if that's what you're asking. One option I suppose would be to do mono or full stereo on all channels, but that means the speakers would still be active in the living room.

You need some sort of audio device in your system whether it be a built-in or an expansion card. If you computer has 6 audio ports you should be good. I've never had any issue hooking up 5.1 speakers to any computer. Also, consider some Logitech speakers, these actually aren't that great.

Sure. If you don't connect any Surround Back speakers, you've only got 5.1 channels.

I actually just did this to my set. I have had this logitech speaker setup for well over 5 years now, and I just early yesterday morning thought to myself...wonder if adding 2.0/2.1 speakers would work. For my setup, it did. I simply plugged the 5.1 into three of the jacks (I selected Center/sub (orange), Rear (black), and Side (green cable plugged into grey due to the 2.0 speakers having shorter wire). Then I simply added the 2.0/2.1 speakers into the green jack. You will need to play with speaker audio levels on your computer, but for me, they worked well. I tested in Fallout New Vegas and Batman A.A. and it was great. Can't believe I didn't try this earlier.

the amp can only drive 1 pair of bose 151/251/ etcc , splitting it out will decrease output to other speakers

Basic answer - No. I believe this unit is designed to function just with its own 2 speakers in "stereo" mode. There is no mention of surround sound such as 5.1 or 7.1 that I could find. You might try a "parallel" hook-up with the amp outputs going to both the Yamaha speakers and the appropriate left or right channels of your wall mount speakers - BUT - be careful to verify that the combined loads / impedances, etc are ok (see specs section of Yamaha owners manual & specs for your wall speakers) or you might damage the amps and all the speakers involved. Also this would only give you more stereo output with all the speakers, not 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Try your Yamaha with just its own speakers and turn up the volume a little - this might work ok for you without the wall speakers. Regards, John

No, you would need a separate amplifier. Your other option is to return the Control 1 speakers and get the C2PS Control 2P speakers instead.
