Question Desktop Audio Setup Additions - Questions

[septune]

I have a pair of Micca RB42 speakers for my PC that are powered by a stereo amplifier, to the green audio port. I'm wondering, if I wanted to add a center channel speaker, a Micca RB42-C, powered by a second, mono amplifier, would it be as simple as plugging the line-in from the amplifier to the orange audio port to get it working? Secondly, since from what I understand, this orange port is used for either a center channel speaker or a subwoofer, would this limit me from adding a subwoofer in the future? I've never actually used anything other than the green port for audio on a PC before.

Update your post to include the applicable make and model information for all devices/components.

Also include full hardware specs and OS information for your PC.

The motherboard's I/O panel ports and connected front panel/case ports being of most interest.

And you must consider the connectivity and standards being used (TS, TRS, TRRS).

Understanding what is available and configurable for use is the starting point.

The ports are all 2 channel ports so the orange port is both center channel and subwoofer. You would need a splitter, similar to a left - right splitter, to split the orange port between the center and subwoofer.

Okay perfect, thanks for the info.
