Hi,

Is it possible to conect 2 computers to one set of speakers?

I was thinking of using a Y splitter and gender adapters but am conserned that it will create a problem for the speakers electricly.

Thanks!

All you need is something like this-----> http://headwize.com/projects/showproj.php?file=cmoy7_prj.htm

Omit the volume control and you will notice all it takes is a dpdt switch or three and some jacks.

if you input it before the amp i dont see why it would create a problem for the speakers, unless you crank it all the way and you blow your inputs...but i've never worked with expensive equipment before.

There should be no problem at all,
Its just running two sources at the same time.

As a pro musician I know sometimes we have to share an amp here and there for practice ya know? 2 guitars in one amp.

No problem.

I had a set of older cambridge soundworks with fronts and rears and I split the cable and hooked the fronts to one pc and the rears to the other pc. That works.

These days most sound cards are full duplex, so just plug the output of your secondary rig into the input of your primary rig.
