I will check, but being an audio guy and being fairly anal about such things, I am pretty sure it is wired in phase. But again, I will check. I have made dumber mistakes.

You are probably right about the cabinet being a large enclosure (I have a UAII cab with partially open back side so didn't even consider that). One other thing which may be worth checking is if your amp has some controls as to what frequency to cutoff (crossover or whatever it's called). It may be setup to only route higher frequencies to the speakers you have connected, assuming you would also be connecting a sub for the lower ones.

Yip, it is set to full range. this is why I was thinking that a system EQ might help. They have them in all sorts of MP3 players n stuff. Many cards have a basic Low Hi slider. I don't even have that. I found a "pay for" EQ for $10. Not sure if I should do that or spend like $15 and get a better used sound card. It has a 14 day trial. I may give it a whirl and see how well it works. Unfortunatly it is only 10 band. I would like a 31 band 1/3 oct. EQ or a parametric would be nice too. But 10 band may have to do it. But then again we are talking about asteroids right. Just dump doomp dump doomp weeo weeo weeo boom. Not really high fidelity.
WaRpEd:
Is your on board audio sound blaster compatible? or another brand?
If it is SB compatible then using the audigy driver should give a full spectrum of sound and it does have a decent equalizer with it.
If not some the Crystal chipsets CAN use those same drivers but you'll have check on the compatiblity.
MYX:
I know that it has ACS chipset on it. I found the model # online and had quite a time finding a driver for it. But it is part of the motherboard. I have no idea if it is compatible or not. If the sound sux to start with, what is the harm with installing what you mentioned? At worst it won't work right? or is there more to worry about?
