Sharing a subwoofer with 2CH and HTs rigs!


Has anyone used an RCA switch box or passive pre to handle two RCA pre-outs from different amps to feed the LFE on a single powered Sub? Looking at the schiit SYS as an option. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Flynnrd,

“In the velodyne manual it expressly IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS AND BOLD says do NOT use both low and high level inputs concurrently... 😕”

interesting, the JL I use just has right and left RCA. I have never used the high level speaker hookups. Maybe call them and see what they say.
If you have two I send the preamp to right on one sub and left on the other sub. Then send the LEF signal from the receiver to the open input.
This allows the mains to use the active crossover and you can still adjust the sub level through the receiver/processor.

I can’t recommend JL audio though. They are always breaking. The electronics in them are total junk (they sound good when they work....)
Hey, James. Velodyne is out of business. Talking to some pro audio guys about it to see what they say. They do this kind of stuff all the time, I would guess. 
Mesch- I certainly don’t need to have both amplifiers on, and don’t plan on it. My worry is that, by accident, at some point I WILL, and want to avoid that possibility! 
I’m also pretty sure most of the big box places like Best Buy do set-ups like this in their auditon rooms. I just want to be 100% sure as I really like this Velodyne sub and they’re not easy to find anymore.
