Subwoofer & pre amp


I like JL Audio subwoofer, had F113 for a brief period and thought it was better than Rel B1 & Stadium I used to own.

I now have a pre amp with only 1 set of output; JL only takes line leve input and no speaker level input. Short of using a Y-adaptor which will degrade sound more or less, will I be better off getting a Velodyne DD or Rel again? Either one will be physically larger than JL whcih could be an issue.

This sub will be 30% music & 70% HT, I normally don't use sub for music but like to have that option.

I was suggested by others to use Bryston, Pass, or ARC active crossover, all will "add" flavor to the sound which I am trying to avoid.

I think my best bet is to make a voltage divider if I want to stick with JL Audio. life will be easier if I just go with a Velodyne DD, but it's physically much larger.
I had custom Y connectors made up and they worked fine. Cross talk is interaction between the two channels, I can't see how using a y connecter will have any effect on this at all. Think about it, if you have 2 sets of outputs on your preamp they are branched from one circuit INSIDE the preamp. The Y connecter does exactly the same thing OUTSIDE the preamp. How does the current know the difference. Before I changed anything I would consult the preamp maker and get their take. There was a previous thread on this recently, you might look at that also.
Use the Y connector and stop fretting. If it doesn't sound good, *then* you can start to explore other options. It'll cost you only $10 or so to find out...

Dear Semi: Dear Semi: ++++++ " what about variable? my pre amp has RCA line out which has fixed output, can that be used? " +++++

this is what you posted and that is your solution, you don't need to do anything else.

My vote for Velodyne was just in case you want to change to other sub alternative but like I told you you don't need to do nothing.

Regards and enjoy the music.
