USB Powering Multiple Speakers...?!?
A laptop with audio 3.5 mm and USB port for one of those USB audio gizmos. Great. But I have three speakers that I could power and they are made for computer use so they all have built-in amplif...

Good info. All three speakers use 3.5mm stereo plugs. Two JBL's have plugs for 120 volt receptacles. The single unit measures about 3" x 6" x 2" and (I guess) uses the USB connector for power. Meaning the red speaker has both a USB connection and a 3.5 mm jack.
Three 3.5mm plugs and one laptop jack. The main question is whether the laptop (headphone) amp could handle both 3.5mm JBL speakers. The 120vac 2-prong plug has to be for the speaker amplifiers.
So then the laptop can run the 3.5 mm jack and the USB simultaneously?
I would then need a "Y" or the jack. And suitable extensions for everything. (?)
Ha! I found a 10" Polk amplified subwoofer that could replace the red box speaker. Guesswork tells me connection of the laptop to the Polk subwoofer also needs to be confirmed. How forgiving are subwoofer amp inputs?
This is a traveling circus via toad. So the subwoofer is a major space consumer.
