I know these speakers have no connection for a sub, however, does anyone know if it's possible to still hookup a sub to your computer for solid bass?

Not while using one of their key features - the integrated DACs. It would have to be through a separate audio receiver that fed signals both to your subwoofer and these. Would require a DAC to send the audio to the subwoofer, and if your receiver had digital out you could still make use of the DACs on these -- if it did it would most likely be optical though, not USB. In short - its not intended for these. These have a DAC built in, if you want a subwoofer better to get analog speakers (cheaper) and buy an external DAC.

Well...if you're not an über purist audiophile you may get away with it. I have these babies coupled with a paradigm milleniaone sub. I have a n external uDAC 3 connected to my computer and unused its coaxial output on another DAC (FiiO) to connect that to my subwoofer. Not pretty but it works. I love these speakers and even if you use a 3.5mm jack, that connection is converted to digital and then to analog again. In the future I'll upgrade my FiiO DAC to something better but for now I highly recommend it.

Everything matches up. All the speakers plug into the subwoofer then the lines from the sub go into your computer's 5.1 sound card. Remember its for a computer and is only accessible with the 5.1 sound card. Hope that helps

We bought an amp to go with them. These are subwoofers and accentuate the bass in songs. I think you probably just need new speakers.

You definitely can hook them up but if you're after quality stereo sound this isn't the amp you want since it has a mono output. You might want to read about hooking speakers up in series and parallel to get the desired impedance.

These are designed for surround sound in a theater set up. Thus bass would come from a subwoofer. I have a 9.2 set up with two sets of thes definitives and for surround sound they are great. If you are looking for bookshelf speakers then you should pick a different Definitive model.

Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop. They are connected to an electrical outlet. There 3 connections on the speaker with the volume and tone control. The electric plug for the outlet, small wire with green plug to connect to back of computer, and a small black wire to connect this (right) speaker to the left speaker. If you are looking for good inexpensive speakers, these fit the bill. Of course, if you want a lot of "boom", my suggestion is to use your stereo system. I do not use my computer to enjoy great music. Wouldn't be able to concentrate..........lol Good Luck Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop.

I do not believe you can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8R4Vemvhsc&sns;=em this is a good review and shows the connection options. Mine sounds like junk. It started to sound distorted or something about a month and a half in. My friend knows speakers and said the subwoofer is cheaply made and there is a lose connection so it keeps cutting out. I wouldnt buy.

Mine does a great job powering 4- 6 inch speakers . But I dont have a sub installed . if you want a strong bass I would look into a mono amp for the sub and this one for the speakers

I hadn't yet heard mine, and your question got me curious, so I got mine working (had to go into the monitor's menu and switch the sound input to HDMI first in case anyone else runs into this issue) . They are a nice addition for an office worker who just needs basic sound, but I wouldn't recommend playing music on these, as they don't have the bass, depth or richness of sound needed to enjoy music. I am still using my 10+ year old Altec Lansing computer speakers, and they still sound awesome. I see that you can buy a new set on Amazon with a sub-woofer for about $60 (Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker), and I would definitely recommend a pair like this to compliment this "gorgeous" monitor! I am still SO happy with this monitor, and I hope NEC continues to make it, as I will stick with them for life if so. The picture is awesome, and I LOVE the semi-gloss! Ok....I'll stop about the monitor now, hehe. :-D

They are only tweeters. So no bass in them. You would need a subwoofer. That's what I had to get

My google search led me to this because I am looking for a small amp to put on a pair of speakers to make them work like a small set of speakers that you would hook up to a computer. I am just going to use this as I might use yahoo answers. Is there a really small amp that I could put on a small pair of speakers and hook up to a computer? It doesn't even need a volume knob (although one would be nice). Something in the 50-100watt range I think would be about right.

I honestly don't remember. I installed mine a year ago. But I think you can. I know there is a sub out that I hooked mine into. But why would you want to? Bass is good.

Just my 02 since I have them. Mine are hooked up to a low power amp. 45wpc if I remember right. That sound good but do not produce a lot of bass. I'm thinking without an amp they would produce even less bass. Hopefully someone has tried them without an amp. The good point on these is I'm hearing far more detail in the music than I ever heard from 2 way and 3 way all in one speakers. I would recommend them even without an amp for that reason. I have the tweeters mounted on the plastic cover behind the side mirrors. It's easier when you keep the wiring within the doors.

I don't believe you can hook this to a PC without some kind of odd setup. I have had this system for my home theater system for probably a good 5 years now and I still love them and have no thought of replacing them. I just really would have no clue how you could hook them up to a PC. I don't think a PC would put out nearly enough power to run these, the subwoofer is quite large and would take a bit of power to operate.

Dear Grant,Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Klipsch RF-62 II Floorstanding speakers are awesome. Terrific clarity, great imaging, decent amount of bass. They are not, however, a subwoofer, which is amplified speaker that does bass only. One certainly cannot replace the other--they accomplish two different things in your system. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.
