using 2 monitor 30's for rear (6.1)

Nate79

I have a cs1 center, monitor 40's front/left, and I am going to replace the surround L, and surround R with monitor 40's. Can I somehow hook up both my monitor 30's onto the surround back channel? Or should I just connect one and leave it?

How would I go about wiring the pair if its a good idea? How far apart? The reciever I am using is a yamaha 5740

Thanks

I would only use the one speaker for the 6.1 surround back.

ok cool, what if i use another cs1 center?

its kinda hard to find just one monitor 40

That would work fine. Keep a look out in the flea market for used centers.

i found a single monitor 40 for sale. should i use the monitor, or should i use the center? whats the difference between the 2? the center would actually work better since the box is kinda skinnier, and would be easier to hang on the wall

thanks

I would go with the Monitor 40, it matches your surrounds and goes a tick lower.
