I'm in the process of building a HT 7.1 system, how would I go about wiring up my 2 back speakers for MONO? Everything else is to be stereo but from what I've been reading, the 2 back speakers in 7.1 need to be wired for MONO.

I know its a stupid question, but hell...I don't know how to do it! :p

Thanks in advance!

The 2 rear speakers (behind you) will play dual-mono or real stereo signals depending on the processing/decoding used. Just hook up each of the 7 speakers to their respective connections on your receiver and you're done. Make sure your speakers are laid out properly for 7.1 set-up (see attached diagram).

Good Luck,
Sanjay

so a mono signal is sent by the receiver and not done by the speakers?

nice.

so a mono signal is sent by the receiver and not done by the speakers? Yes - if you choose a mono rear mode like DD - EX or DTS - ES. But why bother? Why not choose Dobly PL IIx and get stereo?
