    Hi,

    Have been playing around with my sound drivers after updating and noticed an option to set speakers to "full range".

    My question is, should I select this option for my Creative T20s - which are 2.0 (no sub woofer).

    Can it send very low frequencies to the speakers which could damage them?

    Thanks,

    I doubt it's going to kill your speakers. Turn it on and see, an extremely brief google seems to show they are full range speakers. Not having it on full range would be for very limiited speakers like laptop speakers for example

    The speakers will have their own cut-offs inside so they physically cannot play frequencies outside their ranges.

    Full range speakers are speakers that produce their entire spectrum of sound from a single unit and most of the consumer models are of this kind. If you connected your computer to a 2-way bookshelf or 3-way floorstander system you would have to disable that option as those speakers are not full-range speakers.
