speakers and cables
this is about me being a loser and problem creator.
I finally got a 2nd subwoofer and I was excited to hook it up. Well, not too excited. I knew it would be a pain to hook it up. I was excited to hear it. I spent over 90 minutes connecting the speaker wires to my power amp. When I turned it on, the left channel was gone. It blew the fuse. I disconnected everything, replaced the fuse, hooked it up again. It worked for 10 seconds, blew the fuse again.
The way I hooked them up was I went from the sub speaker out from both subwoofers, rolled the left and right side wires together so I had 4 wires that I connected to the left and right plus and minus channels - speaker binders on the power amp. What are my options? My preamp has no sub out. Nor my amp.
Stupid question: should I just go from left to left on one sub and right to right on the other sub?

thanks @immatthewj that makes sense. I do have this except that it does not work https://outlawaudio.com/products/icbm.html I bought it for $120 and it came busted and I can’t send it back. (Being poor stings twice - when you can’t buy things and then when you finally buy something cheap and shady and get scammed) But why should I complain, having two subwoofers is not a basic need And yes, my preamp has only one RCA out pair |
Hmmm, I guess "Outlaw" was an appropriate name for it. Did you get your subs working yet, via speaker wires to sub and out of sub? I just re-read your OP, and out of curiosity, what is your second sub? And your original (first) sub? And also, since I am ASSUMING that your original single sub was hooked up and operating via speaker wire connections, is it at all possible that a problem is existing with the second sub that is causing the fuse to blow? |
