Connecting a subwoofer to a Joule LA-150

I am using a sub with my Joule Lap-150. The second outputs are summed with a Y adapter and run with a single cable to the sub. However, make sure that the BAM is not in the tape loop of the preamp but between the preamp and the amp for this to work correctly. Don

I would go with Brainwater's solution, I don't think you'll like the sound with the BAM between preamp and amp. Ask Bobby, he'll say the same thing.

Hello Sns,
So if I understand you correctly you suggest to install BAM in the tape loop of the preamp? ( one set of outputs you use to amp connection (without BAM) and another to subs...I presume also without BAM)
Thank you for clarification
I love this preamp!

If you put the BAM in the tape loop then both sets of outputs are filtered and you won't get anything out of using a subwoofer. SNS is correct in that Bobby recommends putting the Bam in the tape loop to buffer it but only if you are not running a sub off the second preamp outputs.

Yes, Don is correct, the second output to the sub will be filtered by the BAM, not good, I forgot. Placing the BAM between the amp and preamp is still not a good idea, the BAM has a pleasant effect on the source's sound, placing it between the preamp and amp negates that. Bobby recommends keeping it between source and preamp. This is one of the reasons I don't use a sub with my Merlins.

Still, it seems I recall hearing about some Merlin owners successfully integrating subs into their system, and keeping BAM between source and preamp. I don't recall the method, perhaps someone else here does.
