In answer to your question, swapping the green (FL & FR) plug with the black plug (RL & RR) should indeed do the trick for your particular circumstances.

I've a query you may be able to help with... My newly purchased LOGITECH X-530 5.1 PC speakers have connections via the front right speaker to subwoofer, and thence to other speakers... Given the room layout, I need the pc (and thus the front right speaker) to be located at rear right. Is it just a case of swapping the green and black plugs to back of PC, to effectively swap front and rear, or is this naively simplistic... ? I've recently lined out a garden shed for use as a 'home office', and have installed speaker cable to four corners, terminating in what will be rear right corner, and impossible now to change the layout. I'd be grateful for any advice... Thanks and best regards Andrew Hello Richard, thanks for this article, very helpful and informative.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Ok, great advice, i dont have an amp at the moment because im not going to run subwoofers, but i’ll look into one with a center speaker facility.

If you don't have an amplifier to support a central speaker (which is unlikely) then you would need to buy a new amplifier system to cater for the central channel.

I know how to wire the two sides but can I wire both left and right speaker outputs into the one center speaker to get both left and right sound through it?
