How to connect C2500, MC501 and Two Subs


I read somewhere you could connect subs from the MC501’s RCA interconnects even though the amps XLR’s are being used to connect to the C2500 preamp? Is this possible? I’m trying to save money, assuming the subs will sound great next to each amp, by not paying for longer XLR or RCA cables. So is the above correct, or?

No, the RCA is an INput to the power amp. You can split the signal at the end of the XLR or RCA to the power amp. One to the power amp, and one to the input in the subs. You’re better off just using a pair of the 6 outputs on the C2500 preamp.

What cost are you talking about? 2 20-30.00 XLR pro cable?

I have No idea what you think you need for subs. A good XLR PRO cable is good for a LONG run too. If you want a pretty one that’s different..

Subs really aren’t to picky when it comes to signal source dollar cost. You would be HARD pressed to find anyone that know cabling, spending too much there..

Good cable with shielding, good terminal ends, good construction, and good armor..

LOL How much you spend on that Mac Gear? 40-60.00 for cables?

I'm a Mac guy.. 50 years next month.

Lol.. I here you! First and foremost i just wanted to understand how to hook the subs using my amp or preamp, so thank you for that... I’m thinking of getting the SVS SB-1000 Pro for just over $1000 including tax because they use unbalanced RCA’s, but maybe there’s better choices, i don’t know.. It’d sure be nice to get reference quality for less.. As far as cables, well, i thought keeping all things the same (Golden Ref) was the best option, but it may not matter.
