5.1 speakers but I dont have room to put speakers behind me, switch to 7.1 and make side?

[Rolando_d]

Hey guys, I have a PC and I got the Z506 logitech speakers that are 5.1 but I dont have any place behind me to put the rear speakers unfortunately, any advice on how to configure the remaining two satellite speakers? I thought about putting the settings on 7.1 and then switching them to side speakers. They are at my 9:30 and 2:30 o'clock positions about 1.5yards from me while my front are about 1.5ft to my 11 and 1o'clock positions

You can't set up for 7.1 without having 7 speakers plus sub. Just go for 5.1. You can try aiming the speakers behind you to get more rear sound.
