I recently saw a great deal for a set of Apple Pro Speakers, and I'm wondering if there's anyway to add them into my current speaker set-up, which is a set of SoundSticks and the iSub.

Is there anyway to get sound out of the SoundSticks *and* the ProSpeakers at the same time, a way to work around the SoundSticks' disabling of the sound-out jack?

I'm running a 400mhz G4 graphite tower, with Jaguar 10.2.8.

I searched the forums for any similar posts, but had no luck, with the only relevant response being another fellow who asked a similar question, but no one responded.

[EDIT] Hmm, this may not work since it seems the pro speakers may not work on my Mac... it's too old, seeing as I bought it in 2000. Ah well. Still, any responses would be appreciated.

the apple pro speakers have a special 2.5mm jack on them. i don't know what connectors are on the back of the isub.. if that isn't listed among them, though, the answer is no.

in case of accidental ingestion, consult a mortician.

That's a good point re: the jack size. Perhaps there are adaptors?

Okay... so assuming the jacks are compatible (or I choose a different set of small speakers instead of the Pros), can I run more than 2 speakers? Or would I just be limited to the two SoundSticks? My hope would be to get a couple more points of sound on the system to place around my room. (i.e., the iSub, the two Sticks, and two more speakers).

Maybe a more direct, and multipurpose, question would be: with a set of SoundSticks and an iSub, what kind of flexibility do I have?
