Question 1

Do these require a separate sound card?

Accepted Answer

I have 1-PC and 2-Console into an LCD-TV.  The LCD-TV feeds the Genius GX Gaming SW-G2.1 3000 70 Watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System through the RCA jacks.  I do not use a separate sound card.  These suit my current needs perfectly and I'm very happy with them.

Question 2

Are these speakers wireless? Or are they wired? As in, are the speakers wired init the main part or not?

Accepted Answer

They are wired in. The cord is a decent length so you have a little bit to work with.

Question 3

Hi... How good is the bass that the sub gives off and how crisp is the mids and highs... Would you recommend this system for both a home theater and for a gaming rig for pc..??????

Accepted Answer

The bass from the sub is surprisingly strong actually. I usually keep the bass levels at about 20% (And I'm a big fan of bass). I use it for my gaming rig, and its great. Mids and highs are crisp and clear, and I haven't had any troubles with they system yet (Had this setup for ~6 months). I haven't tried it for my theater setup yet though, but I would imagine its pretty great as well.

Question 4

Can I use both inputs simultaneously? Or will using input override the other?

Accepted Answer

It does accept stereo(white and red) and auxiliary inputs at the same time. Depending on what you're doing, both active inputs can make the other sound very distorted but, if you're planning on switching them (for example: TV and an iPod while one of them is silent/off), it will work as expected and there's no hassling with unplugging/plugging in cords all the time.

Also, I've had these speakers for nearly a year and they still work perfectly fine. The sub can be overpowering for these speakers and I definitely recommend a "Subdude" or a layer of high density foam to set it on so the vibrations don't drown out higher frequencies.

Hope this helps!
