Speaker or line level in?


I have Tyler PD80's. I've been jumping straight into the speaker level input on the built in sub amps. Would I be better off using the line level inputs? I should try it both ways, but I don't have any decent splitters or RCA's long enough to reach.

Thanks.

No, I don't think you would reap any benefits from changing to RCA. Generally speaking, the high level signal coming from your amp will integrate the subs better than a line level out of your pre... the sonic signature of your power amp reaches both.
Some high-end sub manufacturers, such as REL, specifically recommend using the high level (speaker level) input rather than line level in.
