Cronus Magnum II & Dual Subwoofers


Hi all - looking for some help. I’m setting up my Cronus Magnum ii and trying to dual-subwoofer it (SVS SB-1000s). Honestly, I’m a bit lost.

  1. On the Cronus, should I use the VAR or FIXED out for the subwoofer signal?
  2. On the Cronus, there 2 ports each (red/white) for the Fixed/VAR outputs. Should I connect RCA cables to whichever you suggest and then send to Left & Right subs and into their respective LFE inputs?
  3. I also have 2x hard RCA splitters. Should I use that to split the signal out from the VAR or FIXED (whichever you recommend) and then I could then take the split signal and attach to each SVS’s Input and LFE (corresponding to the white / red on the back of the amp and the subwoofers inputs)?

Thanks! I’m happy to message pictures if that helps.

your subwoofers can accept high level inputs, connect speaker cable from amplifier speaker terminals directly to subwoofer inputs, 1 cable per channel.  just use basic speaker cable.  

when i had the rogue cronus magnum ii my subwoofers sounded much better connected to the speaker terminals.  i used banana plugs for the main speakers and spade terminals for the subwoofer and the fit right on the same terminal.  

worth a try.  i was amazed how much better it sounded, more powerful.
