Connecting a subwoofer to a Joule LA-150


Has anyone hung a subwoofer off the second pair of outputs on a Joule LA-150? I'm curious. I would like to add a sub and give my Merlin VSM-MM slightly more low end bass. The BAM works great, but I just integrated video into my two channel configuration and I need a little umpf.

Thanks!

If you put the BAM in the tape loop then both sets of outputs are filtered and you won't get anything out of using a subwoofer. SNS is correct in that Bobby recommends putting the Bam in the tape loop to buffer it but only if you are not running a sub off the second preamp outputs.
I am using a sub with my Joule Lap-150. The second outputs are summed with a Y adapter and run with a single cable to the sub. However, make sure that the BAM is not in the tape loop of the preamp but between the preamp and the amp for this to work correctly. Don
Agree with SNS. If you have only one source, such as a CD player then I suggest putting the BAM between it and the preamp and then using the second outputs of the preamp for the sub. However, I have two sources, CD and Analog so I can't do this. Perhaps using two BAMs could be done? Don
