Combining 2.1 Speakers set

[chunktri]

I have two 2.1 speaker sets.

I can combine them using 3.5mm stereo jack splitter.

will I get the same output like a 4.1 setup like the surround effect........
How can i set my sound device for this.....
Is there any other method for obtaining such output.I don't want to buy 5.1 speaker system right now......
Please give some suggestions on this......

Welcome to the forum!

To what are you connecting the speakers? If it is a PC with surround sound, then you might be able to connect one of the 2.1 set-ups to the front left/right connection and the other 2.1 set-up to the rear left/right connection. If your speakers have a separate sub input, let us know. Otherwise, you'd want to set up your software for a 4.0 system, or a 4.1 system with no bass going to the subwoofer output (because your speaker systems would be handling the direction of bass to their own subs).
