Assuming that the crossover frequency is low enough to avoid directional cues, I would use the first (stereo) setup only if the subs were directly under or right at each of the L/R main speakers, respectively. Otherwise, you are better off with a L+R to both. It will minimize phase/balance/placement problems.
Passive subs hook up question.
I have a pair of Nestorovic Type 8 passive subs.
I use a extra set of pre amp outs into a ss amp. Then from the amp to the subs. Subs have a passive cross over. Only 2ch listening.
My question is: Is it better to hook them up in a right and left set-up so the sub on the right side would get just the right output, just like speakers, or run them with a full right and left output to each sub? If so how would you hook it up? Much thanks for any and all help.
