Ghetto 7.1 setup?

[PP Mguire]

Ok so i have an Xtreme Gamer which uses the tri-pole 7.1 setup connectors and bi-pole for 5.1. I have an older Inspire 5.1 setup connected and i got my trusty JBL 2.1 setup being pathetic looking in the corner all torn down.

Now, ive Googled and i think its not possible BUT

Is there any way i can ghetto this up and make a 7.1 setup by adding my 2.1 setup to the 5.1? Only jack left is the flexi but i dont think i can use that as a surround left/right output =/

Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, your my only hope

Speakers are not clever. They're not going to say "No ! 2.1 Only !" Speakers are speakers as long as you can wire them up it should be fine. The only thing that would ruin it is if the 2.1 speakers had a control center which they plugged into.. that'd be a bit more awkward to set up.

Found out that i need quad-pole 7.1 speaker setup in order for it all to work properly on my sound card due to only having 3 jacks. So basically, i need a new sound card for it to work. Was worth a shot i suppose.

Ha.. i missed that small factor. Sorry !

I was just concentrating on the speaker part.
