I use RELs driven from the speaker outputs. If you adjust them properly you will not need to turn them off ; you will not know they are there if the music doesn't need them. If you can "hear" the sub it is set too high, subs should be felt and not heard. Set the crossover at it's lowest position and work up, when you can hear the sub back down a little.
How to add a subwoofer to my system?
I currently have a set of Mission 765 speakers that I absolutely love. However, they lack some low end for my rock and hip-hop tastes. For jazz, piano, guitar and vocals, I am quite content.
Should I run a powered subwoofer? I was thinking about using my amps' "speaker B" connections to add one or two subwoofers into my listening room without seperate amplification. Has anyone tried this?
I would like to setup something that doesn't require me to adjust the subwoofer to every other CD I play, no matter what volume. I just want to turn it on for some music, off for others.
What are some good ways that fellow Gon members have setup your systems with a 2+1 or 2+2 configuration?
I look for deals and I am on a strict budget. I will most likely spend less than $500 on this venture by building my own or waiting patiently for a good deal on used equipment.
Thank you,
