+1 @gdaddy1 , just saw your post. I completely agree!
connecting subwoofer via speaker terminals
My tube integrated amp has no subwoofer output, and only one set of 4 ohm speaker terminals. Is there an optimal way to connect subwoofers (some kind of active splitter?), and what is the downside (noise, impedance issues?) ?

@parkergetdean Why have a long run of wire from the amp out to the subwoofer? The sub is near my main speaker and is a short jump from the speaker over to the sub. Much less wire. The sub input requires very little signal from the speaker terminal and doesn't need any special wire. |
@gdaddy1 understood, thanks! |
@fastfreight +1 My speakers have good bass to about 45hz so let them do their job. The subs low pass is set at 60hz. I tried using high pass filters but, like you, I much prefer the full signal going to the mains. I also agree the imaging to be better/cleaner as well. Keep it simple! |
