Hookup question for PolkAudio RM 3000 vintage sub

ecotonic

Hello,

I recently found an vintage PolkAudio RM 3000 passive sub woofer. From what I can find, it's 1000 watts & 10" speaker.

I want to incorporate it into my Yamaha NS-10 setup. Do I just run from the amplifier into the Sub, then from the sub to the NS-10's? The sub only has 1 input per side (and a center), so I'd have to splice the speaker wires together.

Any advise? I don't want to harm the ns-10's...

Thanks!

It's actually 3 6.5 inch woofers firing into a chamber with a 10 inch passive radiator. Forget the center connection, and you are good to go with the parallel hookup you described, assuming your amp can handle the impedance.

Cheers,

Hey Russ,

I appreciate the suggestion. My power amp is a Sony STR-DG 500 surround sound digital audio/video control center. Below is the URL for description.

Do you think it will work ok?

Thanks so much,
