Okay, I have a set of 2.1 speakers, with a total output of 400watts (supposedly). They are Logitech Z-2300s. I swapped in two floor speakers for the satellites it comes with, and felt like the sub sounded too weak balanced with the floor speakers. Now, after putting the proper satellite speakers back, I swear my sub is noticeably weaker.

My knowledge of speakers is limited, so I'm trying to determine if the unit was LIKELY damaged by subbing in two larger speakers. Basically, I'm just really anal about this stuff and want to know if its in my head, or real.

If specs help at all, my satellites are 40watt RMS x2 (into 8ohms)
The floor speakers are 8ohms (each, dont know the watts, but I assume higher).
I dont know if that means they have the same rating (8ohms each), or if the satellites are 4ohms each (and thats why it says "into 8ohms"). Hopefully someone knows whats up.

Thanks in advance.
