Bought the wrong subwoofer!

I was planning to buy a Rel subwoofer but stumbled across a good deal for a SVS sb-2000 pro so I decided to give it a try. Turns out that the the pre-outs on my integrated amp aren’t pre-outs at all but are rec outs (should have put on my glasses). The Svs doesn’t have high level inputs and my amp doesn’t have pre-outs so I’m screwed right? Guess it wasn’t such a great deal after all.

There are speaker to line level adapters which are basically big resisters to reduce the output.  It should work great

I’ll look into that. I’ll also be putting it up for sale or trade.

My integrated has only one set of speaker taps. Is ok to connect the converters wires to the same speaker terminals that are driving your main speakers?

REL is way better than SVS.

 

Happy Listening!
