    Default Cable routing trouble

    hello everyone!! this is my first post so.... hai.
    Ive been using my traktor s2 for about a year now. And since i only have my desktops logitech speakers, the only thing i came up with is connecting the 3.5mm from the speakers directly to my headphone cue and using that (lol). Im about to get my allen and heath xone db2 soon and i wanted to know if theres a more "practical" way of routing besides that. thanks in advance!

    Actually - I've used these speakers/sub with some pretty nice sounding results. They've served me for YEARS without problems:



    Cable routing IS a bit awkward when the sub and amp are integrated. But nothing a couple of y-splitters or stacking RCA's can't fix. I only used the FRONT 2 speakers. No need for the rear and centre speakers.

    They are surprisingly loud and clear.

    It is a bargain solution. I got the speakers, sub and a 5.1 soundcard (that I used to get 3 stero pairs of outs for Ableton Live) for £25 on ebay (8 years ago, though!)

    its a 5.1 and each speaker connects to the back ( looks like this) http://techgage.com/reviews/logitech...0_08_thumb.jpg
    and then a 3.5 leads out of the sub
