Good video! A couple of points: 1. Line level is the unamplified preamp level. Use RCA jacks or balanced connections, if you have them on your equipment. 2. You can use a y-connector on your preamp output if you have powered speakers. Run one leg to the main and one to the line input on the sub. It won't provide high pass filtration to the powered speaker, but you can definitely run a sub. 3. Some audio guys like using the speaker level (powered signal) even better than the preamp level signal They claim it helps match the sound signature better. 4. Many people use a sub as an add on to the main speaker when it is for music. In that case. No hp filter on the mains. 5. If you wire in a capacitor to block hi frequencies on the mains, try to use a decent one. Electrolytic types do have bad toleancing and the tend to store the energy longer and smear details a bit. If using 100 speakers, don't sweat it.

#2 is a no-go, unless just for fun. Or at least the volume won't be the same for Right and Left. #4 that is not true, most stand mounts will benefit from a high pass filter, and let the sub exclusively play the very low end. :)
@markceci98962 жыл бұрын
@@jungtarcph I respectfully disagree with your statement. 2. Is fine. A powered sub and then powered speakers. Each with volume control. Then left and right channels, each with a y jack. Or, just run preouts to the sub/s and high pass from subs to powered satellites. 4. This is done all of the time. I personally like a high pass filter to the bookshelf, but it is not always necessary. If they do a great 50 hz, you may just add the sub at the bottom. There are lots ways, but, none of mine were "wrong".

@markceci9896 Жыл бұрын
@@wvrnstng Yes you can definitely do that. Depending on the output levels in the PC, the signal may be a bit weak. May not produce 2V at all four of the RCA outputs. Hook it up and check the levels. Is it loud enough? Is the base response punchy enough? The preamp signal is very important for dynamic capability. If it is lacking, get a simple preamp, (there are many) and run the 3.5 jack/RCA adapter into it. Then split the output of the preamp into the active speakers/subs.

Randy, another option to the 'inline' capacitor high pass filter is to put a higher power resistor in parallel with the capacitor. This will be kinder to your amplifier at low frequencies. For example if your speaker is 8 ohms, and you want 50% less bass, you will put an 8 ohm 50 watt resistor in parallel with the capacitor you're using.

I used to set up subwoofers and used a capacitor as a hi pass filter at the amp’s inputs instead of the speaker inputs. This meant the input impedance was higher and more linear than a speaker’s and eliminates low frequencies from reaching the amplifiers. As an amplifier’s impedance is 10k or higher a much smaller and higher quality capacitor can be used and a speaker’s input impedance is anything but linear. I’ll have to look up my equation for determining the amp’s -3 db point as my memory is vague. Think it’s 1/2pi f c. Polarity change doesn’t need a switch, just reverse the speaker wires.

Interesting story: I purchased a Klipsch R-12SWi on Amazon and it was basically DOA. I called and went back and forth with them about connections and this and that to troubleshoot the issue. In the end they refunded me the money and said do with the speaker as you see fit. I guess it was too expensive to send back. So, without anything to lose, I took the sucker apart and soon found that the positive wire leading to the driver had a failed solder connection. I soldered the connection back and it now works like a charm. I feel slightly guilty but oh well... such is life. It sounds good I guess but I have nothing really to reference it to. I am running all Klipsch and being the noob I am went with the sub as well. Though SVS is staring at me. If I was to change anything now it would probably be the Receiver.

Believe me, subwoofers can literally always be installed. I use a pair of edifier s1000 active speakers (they have no output at all). I paired them with a subwoofer from a Swedish brand "Audio Pro", that only has a 3.5mm input. Since i only have inputs on both devices, i will not be able to feed the signal through the speakers in a loop. Therefore i just seriously used a 1x 3.5mm to 2x 3.5mm splitter, for like 3 dollars. This made my signal play on two different speakers at the same time (the sub & and my edifiers). Some argue that this will lead to "mono", however Stereo worked perfect, i tried a simple "right to left test", no problems here.!

Hey, I have an older NAD intergrated amp. It has preamp out, main in rca jacks on the back. There is a metel jumper going from the left in to the left out and right in to right out. So, we all know these jumpers connect the onboard amp to the preamp. You remove the jumpers the onboard amp does not work. Lets say you want to use the onboard amp to run your front speakers. In this case you would have to run a pair of rca's from the pre out from amp to input on sub and then another set of rca's from output on sub back to line in on amp. Or, use a set of rca Y's to connect the pre outs/main ins and then run a singe rca to just the input of the sub. And, some of the newer subs do not have 4 rca's(2 in, 2 out) on the plate amp like the model you are using. They only have a 1 set of inputs. In that case you would have to use the pair of rca Y's with a single drop to the sub. Is this correct?

What you can do is if you have a separate pre amp and dac or if it's integrated you connected the pre-amp out connection to the subwoofer's in rca left/right channel and then you connect the powered speakers to the subs rca out. So it goes speakers > subwoofer > preamp > Dac > source (pc ,cd player etc)

I'm looking for something to run my 12 inch kicker in my house. I'm using a 2.1 50+50+100 and it's not that great. Are those 500 watt mono sub amplifier boards from Ali express any good?

Ive got a question for you, i have a Blu-ray hometheatre all in one, the sub isnt powered and has a proprietary plug. There's no other sub exit, only the 3 rca audio video. How can i plug a powered sub in it?

HI there. I just found some of your videos and very good too. My situation/problem is I have an old Subwoofer that just has Speaker Wires (Non Powered Sub) and I just recently bought a Sony STR-DH 790 Receiver and obvious has Sub Out , but I don't know what to do to connect it to the Receiver since the Sub is OLD SCHOOL. Any suggestions. BTW I"M new to Recievers and I wanted a Dolby Atmos Receiver. Hope you can help me. thank you ahead of time.

If a powered sub has a bypass feature, is it okey to leave the sub on? I'm using the SONY SA-WM40 POWERED ACTIVE SUBWOOFER.

Depending on whether you wire them in series, or parallel, coils and capacitors can be used for both high pass, and low pass filters.

Hi! Maybe I missed it in this video but was wondering if I can connect my older passive onkyo sub that has only two speaker wires to my newer onkyo receiver that has rca sub out. I can get rca to av adapter but will it work? I am assuming that newer receiver is for powered subs mainly. Thanks!
