Dolby 5.1 conversion to 3 Speaker System?

Dave

I have a Walmart Durabrand HT-3917 with 60W peak. The sub has output for 5 speakers. I'm looking to scale the system down for my dorm room. I want to condense the system and use two 25W peak speakers that I have. Is it as simple as running two channels from the back into just one speaker?

Sub is 8ohm while speakers are 6ohm
would replacing the mains with bigger speakers (the 25Ws), am i really putting more strain on the system?

also, im thinking that disconnecting the surrounds wouldnt really do anything for the system, as the channels are still being used one way or another

i guess what im looking to do is to harness the power of two channels into one. if theres any way to do this, i could replace them, and lose very little power.

i still dont know

Answer
No! Don't run two channels into one. You will burn out your sub-woofer.

I went online and found all the specs for your system:

You could disconnect your two mains and replace them with the 25w. speakers, but the system is really designed to push the speakers that came with it. You would be attempting to draw more power from the system than you actually have and could easily burn out the amplifier in the sub-woofer. The system may just shut off when it starts to overheat, but if this happens too many times, it will stop working.

You could also just disconnect the two surrounds to simplify things. You will loose some information because the system will still think they're hooked up, but you likely won't notice with this type of system, and you don't run the risk of damaging the amplifier.

Good luck.
