Surround sound attainable from THREE speakers?

[napalm]

Well I certainly know 2 speaker surround sound isnt possible, but I was thinking, wouldnt 3 speaker surround sound work? Like you could have it in a triangle around you, so something behind you would be equal in both back speakers, and something to your direct right sounds in the bottom right and a little in the top speaker, no? I was just wondering cuz I've always thought about that....

No. That would be stupid.

Just get mommy and daddy to buy you a 6.1 setup and stfu.

[Shine]

Yeah you could put it in your big ass H2.

And then drive off a cliff... and never post again!

Hooray!

[Shine]

He'd survive though cus well it's an H2 but also because his parents would probably buy him the hellicoptor attachment.

His parents probably own Disneyland.. you know, since they are rich.

Chances are you'd have to double the wiring to run both rear connections into the speaker, and good luck making that work (provided you don't screw up the speaker somehow).

Maybe if you custom-built a speaker with dual inputs on back and two mini-speakers within one speaker, judging from that description. That would be, obviously, a huge waste of time and money and it would be easier and cheaper to just buy two speakers for the rear.

DD EX receivers will matrix the rear left and right surround into a center channel. I'm unsure if there are any out there that'll move everything to the rear center, though.
