SVS SoundPath Speaker Level Subwoofer Adapter.
So I received my SB16 Subs a couple weeks ago, I had contacted Cary to see if it was safe to plug the subs into the open RCA jacks since I’m using XLR’s to the amps, I was told there would be no issues.
Well there were no issues using them mechanically, but on a lot of material I could hear the timing was off, I was loving the extra bass, but I knew something wasn’t right.
I had been talking to Trey behind the scenes, and he suggested using this adapter.
Well I received it this week, and what a night and day difference, I realized that not only was the timing off, but it was actually messing with the imaging , slightly blurring it.
This adapter was everything I needed, but really they should just put the option back on their subwoofers..
I’m happy nonetheless..
Here is a few pics, I made a mounting bracket for it to mount on the back of my rack..

I've been saying for years that speaker level is best. I even told SVS that. They told me it makes no difference...ha, you bet your a$$ it does.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Rca parallel out truly does something to the sound, speaker level is the way- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

I played some vinyl this morning, and everything is tight and full, I’m loving the addition of subwoofers in the mix of my two channel system, I actually wish I had done it sooner, the wife also agrees 😎
