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?
Thanks for the input Bob. The only reason for wanting to keep the cables short was simply "tidiness"...cable management, if you will. Short will let me avoid having a lot of extra length laying around.
FWIW - am going to order a few feet of a Belden 5000 series 12 gauge from Blue Jeans Cable (along with some spade terminations).
oleschool - I did try using pre-outs from the pre-amp. I thought that would be the way to go. BUT when I experimented trying the high level inputs...connecting subs to amp - I immediately thought things sounded better hooked up that way. Go figure.
@spoutjack I hope the answers to the questions I've asked are helpful to you.
Hello again Bob. I prefer banana plugs myself but that option is already taken at both the amp and the speaker terminals by the normal speaker wire. It’ll have to be spades/spades I think.
Should be able to wrangle a short length (3-5'?)of the Belden 10 gauge and get it to play nice. If it’s stiff enough, might even help keep it off the carpet.
