How to use a sub in a 2 (.1) channel rig?

dbaldus

I've been considering getting into 2 channel for quite awhile now, but I just love my SVS PB12-Plus/2 sub and would hate to go without it for music as my mains are RTi70s. The problem that I have been having is that none of the 2 channel pres seem to have an output for a subwoofer, so I'm just wondering if there is a way to set up my 2.1 channel rig in a way that I could use my RTi70s and my SVS together?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated - thanks!

I think you could wire your sub using speaker cables from your speakers. Should be covered in your sub manual.

What pre-amp or receiver are you using? I assume that you are going into the "Low Input" on your sub. I am not clear on how you are connecting but if your pre-amp has a single dedicated sub output then you may need to use a "Y-adapter" to split the signal and feed it into both "Low Inputs" (left and right) on the sub. Please provide more details.

Just buy the Rotel RC-1082, or 1070. They have two pair of RCA pre-outs.

The description says there are 2 pairs of unbalanced RCA outputs on both units, but the manual shows only one set on each unit.:eek:
