sub wiring question

If you have an extra $450 available, I'd grab a Velodyne SMS-1 and run pre
out R and L into the SMS line in R and L with RCAs and then the same scheme
from the SMS line outs into the subs. This will roll off your mains and your
subs. If you have 2 sets of RCA out from your pre, you may wish to run one
set per Kal's set-up and one per mine. This will run your mains full-range.

Either way, IME, you'll be happier.

PS search "SMS" in these forums and you'll see my (never ending -
sorry!) commentary on this excellent product.

Another excellent option is the nht x2 crossover which is much more flexible than the SMS, although it lacks the EQ.

So, which SPL sub do you have? With or without the auto EQ?

yes it has auto EQ, i have 2 SPL 800 R

Re: Kal's comment on NHT X-2

I use an X-2 for high pass and an SMS for low pass and EQ

IMHO, this is a "best of all worlds" solution, but I thought maybe more complicated than the OP wanted to hear about.

PS the auto EQ on the SPLR subs leaves something to be desired. The SMS satisfies those desires.

Use the speaker level inputs, it lets the flavor of your main amp come through the subs amps and blend better with your main speakers.
