I made a mistake and bought a cheap 5.1 surround sound system off ebay. After I got it, I realized it isn't really 5.1 unless you have front, rear, and subwoofer hookups on your tv. So as it is, it is only 2.1, and there is alot of treble that comes out of the subwoofer and distorts the bass. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Is there some sort of adapter so I can have front, rear, and subwoofer hookups? Please help.
The speakers don't hook up to the TV. For 5.1 surround sound the main box is supposed to be hooked up to the TV with three wires. One for rears, one for fronts, and one for the subwoofer. Then, the main box has outputs for the speakers.(exept for the subwoofer, it is in the box)Right now, the left and right audios from the TV are hooked up to one of the inputs(As the instructions describe for 2.1). The box distributes the sound evenly through all of the speakers(including the subwoofer)which makes it sound terrible.
