I have a set of speakers:

Front:
1 left speaker
1 right speaker

1 left woofer
1 right woofer

Center:
1 speaker

Rear:
1 left speaker
1 right speaker

-------------------------------------------

Here are the specs of these speakers (copy from manual):

Super Woofer x 2
-- Bass-reflex bookshelf type
-- 20cm 1-way cone type

Front Speaker x 2
-- Closed-box bookshelf type
-- Mid-range - 10cm cone type
-- Tweeter - 5.2cm cone type

Nominal Impedance (total) - 6 ohm
Frequency Response (total) - 38Hz to 20kHz
Maximum power (total) - 140W

Center x 1, Surround x 2
-- Closed-box type
-- 8.7cm 1-way cone type
-- Nominal Impedance - 8 ohm
-- Maximum power - 30 W



These speakers are taken off from a mini hifi system. unluckily, the main unit spoil
already. so, i plan to connect these speakers to an amplifier/receiver. i'm hunting for a cheap one such as sony STR-DK5 receiver. or can u guys recommend a better one with budget about RM600?

here are a few questions:

1. since all the speakers have their own cable, how am i gonna merge the normal front speaker and the super woofer to form a single channel? (frontL+wooferL for left channel, frontR+wooferR for right channel). or is it impossible to do that due to wrong impedance? if due to impedance problem, i'll just ditch the 2 woofers.

2. can i use the woofer instead of the normal front speaker? i know i may loose some highs due to lack of tweeter. but i found out that most karaoke type speakers also have a big driver. so..how does it sound like?

3. what's the typical impedance for a subwoofer? is it same like normal speakers (6-8 ohm)? need to know just in case i wanna buy a subwoofer.
