Need help. What is the best way to power, hook up 2 LSi7's as my center channel? I've seen darqueknight's 2 LSi9 setup for center channel but don't know how he set them up. My receiver only has one center pre-out. I have an extra Halo A23, and an extra MA700. Can I use either one of these? Thanks in advance.

    If you are using the integrated amplifier output from an AVR to power the center channel, I am afraid it's not going to work for both LSi7s.

    If your AVR has Pre-amplifier outputs (RCA or XLR), you can use the RCA splitter and external amplifier. You need to use RCA splitter for the center channel RCA output, then use a pair of RCA interconnect to hook up to an external amplifier. You need 2 channel amplifier in order accomplish that. Then, connect the speaker wires from each channel of the amplifier to each LSi7.

    Parts Express has reasonably good quality RCA splitter (Y connector) for good prices. I've tried both AR Pro series and the ones from SonicWave and I found SonicWave has a litter better construction.

    If you want something a little more solid, I would get the ones from Outlaw Audio for $25 each. The outlaw RCA Y connector is very solidly build and good quality for a lot less.
