I have a Creek Audio 5350se amplifier what do I need to hook up two SVS 4000-SB subs?


I have this amp that doesn't have a dedicated subwoofer output. What kind of equipment can I get to control the volume of my amp and the two subs? The SVS has RCA in and XLR in..

Thanks.

If it has pre-out use that. The first circuit inside the sub is a filter, so you do not need a sub out, the full range signal will be fine.

If it doesn't then you need to use a LOC- Line Out Converter. They are cheap and work great https://www.parts-express.com/stinger-sgn111-30-watt-fixed-line-out-converter--268-482

This is one time where it does not pay to spend more. All you get for more money is better looks. The circuit inside is nothing more than a pair of resistors. These drop your speaker level voltage to line level allowing your amp to drive the sub from the speaker outs. If you are interested in tech here is exactly what it is and how it works. https://www.epanorama.net/circuits/speaker_to_line.html

If you are handy you can use that article to DIY. That's what I did, and put the circuit inside my amp as a mod. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Grand total parts cost me less than $2 for the 4 resistors. But if you want fast and easy you can simply buy the LOC and be done with it.
Chuck beautiful system. I got the LOC. As I learn more will experiment. Thanks bud.
