Subwoofer & pre amp

Dear Semi: Maybe I'm loosing something: you say that your F-113 has a variable/fixed gain control and that your preamp has a variable line out gain ( the normal one that goes to the main amplifier ) and a RCA fixed line out.

Why then are you looking for the " divider " when you already have what you need?:

in one " side " you have the normal output to your amplifier and in the other " side " you have that preamp fixed line out that can/could goes to the F-113 with the advantage that this fixed line out is a more " clean " signal due that does not has to pass through the volume/attenuator in the preamp like the signal that goes to the amplifier.

Now, is this what you are looking for? or like I say: I'm missing on the whole subject. Coul you tell me?, I appreciate that.

Thank you in advance.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul,

I have only 1 set of pre out from my pre amp, the other two outputs are all line out which is fixed in output.

JL F113 has both fixed and variable input, but variable does not mean I can feed it with line out from my pre amp as I will need to adjust volume on JL F113 for every piece of music. not a pratical solution.

my best option is to build a voltage divider and feed JL F113 directly from my power amps, there are no other alternatives unless I use a Y-adapter.

Dear Simi: I see, thank you.

regards and enjoy the music.

My Preamp has 2 sets of outputs. I am also using a JL F-113 with it. The sub is an awesome unit.

Anyway, consult the manufacturer of your preamp. I would say though unless your preamp is a tube unit , using an external Y connection should be fine.

The Rel does both, go back to the Rel.
