I am using (finally!) my Musical Fidelity A3cr pre but it does not have a sub out. How do I get some sub action in my 2 channel rig?

    BJC also carries something very similar.

    Plug the male end into the sub.

    One of the female ends will be coming from the amp/reciever. The other will go FROM the sub, to the front l/r speakers.

    You would need 4 of these, and 4 sets of cables with that tip. Interconnects/rcas, whatever.

    You can install them on the "OUT" on your pre, one pair of cables to your 2 channel amp, one pair of cables to your sub(s). The cables would have to go to your in, not LFE, and you would adjust your crossover frequency, gain, phase, etc...on your sub instead of on your old pre/pro.
