So running my speaker cables out of the back of my amp into the sub is not going to change the sound that I'm getting out of my speakers is it going to alter the sound in any way obviously other than adding bass through the sub ?
Using a sub with no sub out on my amp
I just bought a Rega IO amplifier it has no sub out I'm using the triangle Berea bro two speakers I'm finding this amp is lacking in bass. I got about a $250 budget I want to add a subwoofer but I don't have a sub out how do I go about hooking one up to my amplifier any help would be appreciated

Your amp is fine. 2 options- buy a sub with speaker level inputs, or add a Line Out Converter to run a sub at line level off your speaker terminals. Either way no changes to the amp and won't affect the amp. A LOC is just a couple 10k to 20k resistors that drops speaker output down to line level. They are under $20 at Parts Express, or you can even DIY for only about $2. That's what I did, see the pic on my system page. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367?utm_campaign=website&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_mediu... If its good enough for me.... With subs don't bother spending a lot on one it is better to use more, but one is better than none- 2 is better than 1, etc. Don't worry about which channel either. Seriously, I have done it all these different ways, adding subs to an amp with no sub out is the easiest thing you can do. |
