well i could go to radioshack but its still pretty expensive....
what i need is a length of cable...say 10 ft or so, with a female RCA connector on one end and a male on the other, radioshack has em in a 6ft but thats still too short(buy 2 i know) but they aint cheap either....my rear speakers are too far away to reach the back of my sub...i bought the Logitech Z-640 system and id recommend it to anyone, i bought it for use with the computer im building but i plugged it into the Dell for now, problem is the sound card on the Dell is only 2 channel so i can only use 2 speakers and a sub:( still sounds good though. well yeah thats what i need so thanks

hmm the stuff on that link still seems kinda expensive to me, i mean 6 bucks for a relatively short piece of cable featuring technology thats been around for quite some time? tsk tsk tsk, thanks for helpin though man, i guess what im gonna have to do is get cable with 2 male ends, then get an adapter thingy with 2 female ends and do it that way, also the cables on the speakers now are supposedly shielded...you think itll make a difference whether i use shielded cable or not? theres alot of stuff in this room that might cause interference.....tv,vcr,satellite receiver, heck even the computer itself but i dont know all that much but audio.

theres what i need right there, plug the male end off the speaker into the female end of that cable, plug the male end of the cable in the back of the sub and ta-da! *in deep voice* Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound....i know 5.1 isnt the shiznit anymore but hey it is to me but at least now i know what im looking for....off to find it cheaper!

i think that right there will do the trick, and only $1.85! of ocurse it might not be the highest quality either. but hey its cheap, theyll probly rip me a new one on shipping though. of course mom has the credit card on lockdown right now so no buying stuff online for Zachy
