My MSI MAG Z790 motherboard supports rear channel speakers.

If I were to mount a pair of speakers behind me, that would require approximately 15 feet (4.5 meters) of speaker wire from my PC to the speakers. Do I have to worry about the AUX port’s power output if I were to use 18 or 16 gauge speaker wire?

I mean, you can always solder a 1/8" stereo connector onto those wires, but the point about wattage isn't something to be ignored, and I forgot that.

Thanks!

I did some wacky cable conversions when I worked in the field but it was usually just to extend line level

Analog audio is fun lol
