I believe my Cain and Cain have just one resistor at input.
If one has a couple of subs in stereo a y cable splitter is not needed. Thoough I have read that both subs work with The sum of left and right signal to be able to cancel nods.
And a powered sub must deal with the amplifier to driver interface correctly.
Another part that makes me a total ignorant in the subject ask the question is how the input of a subwoofer is able to deal with signals from all amps in a high level input, does it not make a difference to the sub the differences in amps current, impedance tabs?
