Hi,

I am a complete beginner in audio stuff and recently bought a pair of SDA-2 and a PSW100 subwoofer at a garage sale. I have not plugged in the system yet but am wondering if it makes sense to use the subwoofer. The SDA-2 do not like like tiny little speakers...

If the question sounds like au audio crime, please be assured that it results from ignorance more than anything else.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,
Matthieu

ps: the speakers would be driven by a Carver CT-3 preamp and a Carver TFM35 amp

    SDA's have good bass response. Hook up the 2's, and see what you think. If you want a little more low end reinforcement, hook up the 100 and go for it!

    Welcome to the boards!

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the quick answer Russ. I'll give it a try tonight.

    I have heard of an "interconnect" cable for the SDA-2. Any idea what that is and where to buy one online?

    Oh, good luck finding one online. You will probably have to make your own. They aren't that hard to make and make the speakers really shine. Search the forums for directions on how to make the interconnect cable.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    It's not an "SDA" without the cable.
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
