Subwoofer hunt


Hi folks. In the market again looking for a subwoofer...this is to complement my Focal Electra 1008Be with Hegel H160 setup. I was looking at JL E110 sub. Anything else I should be looking at? Also do the amps of these subs blow up frequently?

Gents - took delivery of a pair of the above discussed SVS SB1000 subs.  Currently running them using speaker level input from the amps.  Running the loudspeakers themselves full range.  

I'm using mono blocks now.  In the future, I'll likely use an integrated that might be located 8 - 10' away from the subs.  To keep cable runs short, can I connect the subs' high level inputs to the terminals of my speakers (located right next to the subs)? OR is it essential to connect the subs at the amp?

Thanks yet again for your time. 


Ghosthouse, I would expect it to be perfectly fine to connect the subs to the speaker terminals instead of the amp terminals.

The only conceivable difference it might make that I can think of would be an **extremely** minor difference in the amount of "back-emf" from the speaker that might be received by sub. And if that were to have any audible significance at all (which I very much doubt), who knows, it might even be subjectively preferable.

Enjoy!
