Thank you Yogiboy. This seems to be the easiest solution . I appreciate it.
powered sub to an Adcom speaker selector box
I have an Adcom 5400 amp with a Adcom GTP 350 preamp . The amp is connected to an Adcom 3 speaker selector. I also have a Kilpsch R-100SW as my subwoofer. Can I hook the subwoofer directly to the speaker box like a regular speaker and turn the low pass to around 80hz. The other two sets of speaker are 901s. I can't find it anywhere but it seems as feasible as wiring the subwoofer in line with one of the speakers as many do. The speaker selector is passive.

Plenty of good advice from the replies. Here's another suggestion that may offer a more simple solution....... Check out the Outlaw ICBM. It's an active crossover that offers adjustable XOVER frequencies. It is placed between the preout and main in. In addition to many outputs for multiple speakers it also has 2 outputs for subs. So, there's no need for y adapters from the preamp. The ICBM has been out of production for a while but can be found in the used market. It originally sold for $250. May make your hookup more simple. Another mention.....do your 901's have a lot of age on them? If so, check on the condition of the foam surrounds. I've been down that road. |
IF you go line level to sub, as yogi said after you split your preamp output into two left and two right, using the fitting he posted, or a pair of Y adapters https://www.amazon.com/LEIGESAUDIO-Female-Adapter-Splitter-Connector/dp/B07P45DT6K/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?d... you need to convert one l/r to mono for the sub https://www.amazon.com/FosPower-Subwoofer-Splitter-Connectors-Extension/dp/B01LZVLBY3/ref=pd_rhf_se_... |
elliottbnewcombjr IF you go line level to sub, as yogi said after you split your preamp output into two left and two right, using the fitting he posted, or a pair of Y adapters ... you need to convert one l/r to mono for the sub ...That is not going to work with most preamplifiers, which typically have their outputs wired in parallel. If you convert one set of outputs to mono, you'll have converted all of the outputs to mono. |
