Intergrating a powered sub..Question

Yes, the KG5230 plate amp has a volume knob. Which CDP do you have? Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

I have the Cayin. However, I see an OUT on the Jadis intergrated. So maybe I could use that preout...to...another amp(my old Rotel) and get a basic Marchard XM9, and go from Jadis preout to Rotel, with the Marchand hooked up to the Rotel, then the sub(w/o KGamp) speaker wires hooked up to the Marchand. Correct? Or go from Jadis preout to a KG5230 amp on the sub cabinet? Confussed...Basically I'm looking for the cleanest 20-50hz's. I guess there are 2 or 3 ways I could do it. Not sure if the KG is a real good music sourse.

Just found out i need a pre/amp separate to intergrate a sub properly. So thats that...But then why does a sub amp have a vol control...what a minute, I think that other advice may be wrong. Anyone?

Wait a minute, I'm a bit confused. You're using a Cayin integrated right? Now which do you have, the Rotel amp with Marchand crossover or a subwoofer using the KG5230 plate amp?

You shouldn't need another preamp since either the Marchand such as the XM9 or KG5230 with their crossovers and volume control would function as such.

If the Cayin has a preamp out you should be able to run that to the Marchand then from there to your sub amp. Or if you're using a KG5230 plate amp, that will have a crossover, volume control and amplifier all together. So in effect, the Marchand and your KG5230 are both preamps/crossovers.

Form there hook the sub to either the speaker outs from your Rotel amp or the KG5230.
