Hey gang, probably a dumb question, but I searched and couldn't find an answer, so please enlighten me I'm renting a home this winter with a large (30x40) center room that will house the entertainment center.... Right now we're using my old Kenwood VR9070 (Not exactly the cat's meow I know, but it was great for my old apartment;) ) to run a 7.1 setup with Athena WS and AS speakers which is working OK... But the sub gets a bit "flat" or "thin" towards the far/rear sides of the room.... I've tinkered with a million different sub-placements, but I think it's just a bit too much space for the old Athena P6000 to fill unless I want to use my sub as a coffee table (though it would make a fascinating ottomon!).
That said, how do you run a dual subwoofer set-up? Would I just throw a coax-splitter into the sub out on the reciever? Is that going to "waste" too much of the reciever's resources? Should I consider a pre-amp, new reciever, or just worry about rent for a while? :P
Thanks for any info forthcoming, and sorry if the dual-sub has been discussed a billion times already :S Cheers.
hello every one.please help me with this:connected a powered sub to my new plasma via the tv sub output.whenever i turned off the tv,i can here a rumbling moise (thudding) from the sub.the sub only has line level input.is it normal? help is needed,please.regard.
That is a big room for such a small sub. I found that the Athena subs are the weak link in their otherwise excellent speaker line-up. You may want to look at another sub like SVS or HSU and sell the Athena sub.
Hey can anyone answer this one??? I got the same question. I got Two subs and want both on my reciever that only has one sub out... Whats the best way to hook this up. I hooked my sunfire to the sub output and piggy backed the velodyne. But I would not advise this since my velodyne is no longer working. SO once it gets fixed I want to safely hook it back into my system. Any ideas on what to do. Someone answer Allegan or my question please.
I'm new here and also looking to hook up two subs to my reciever. I don't see any reason why you could not run a Y connection out of the reciever sub output to both subs, am I wrong? Any one have an answer to the two sub question? Thanks
I belive that a powered sub is kind of like a car system. you should be able to safly split the RCA cable with a y spliter. the reciever should only have to send a small signal to the sub for it to work. at least this is true for car systems. I too am going to run two subs one 1 12 and one 8in off of my hk635 you should be safe
