Sub connection


i have a intergrated amp that does not have a pre out. i want to connect a Velodyne Sub to the amp. the sub has rca and bare wire speaker (2 channels in and out) inputs. How can i connect the sub to the amp?

Thanks.

Run the speaker wires from your amp to the speaker inputs of the sub. Now run a new pair of wires to your speakers from the sub's speaker outputs. Use the crossover & volume controls to match your speakers.
Thanks Dill. Any other option? i really do not want this connection b/c complication of running speaker wire.

How about running another pair of speaker wire from the amp to sub?
Houstonreef, my understanding is that you are correct. Most would prefer to set up the sub in the way you described (essentially bi-wiring the sub and speakers from the integrated amp speaker outputs). You will probably need to adjust the highpass filter and volume of your sub to integrate with your speakers by using a sound meter and low frequency sweep CD/mp3. Once that is properly set up, you can forget about the sub and let your integrated amp take care of volume level. Maybe others can chime in.
