Dayton SUB800 paired with surrounds

[Brennan Tighe]

Hey guys. I have a weird question.

Could I use the Line level inputs and outputs found on these subs and place a satellite speaker on top of them?

I would place small satellite speakers and 4 SUB800s to create a 5.1 system (one wouldn't be used for the center)

The satellite speakers would be wall wall mounted and the SUB800s would be placed on the floor below them respectively.

The subwoofer, for giggles, would be a SUB1500 (for matching).

You could but it would be a waste of money. The Sub 800 is fine for the money but not a good subwoofer. If you spent $400 on a single subwoofer, it would be better than 4 sub 800s. If you spent $600 (4 sub 800 + 1500) on a real subwoofer, it would blow all 5 of them away. Subwoofers are expensive but a single good one is better than lots of mediocre ones. This might be a good substitute.

From the way you describe your implementation of the line level I/O on that sub, I really think you should do a little exploration on how to implement a 5.1 system. What you describe makes absolutely no sense at all.
