Q? about sub out from my HT processor.


I have a Revel Ultima SUB 15 without the recommended LE-1 amp/crossover. I want to ensure I won't be sending frequencies to the sub which may damage the unit. Is the sub out from HT processors guaranteed to only have the lower frequencies ?
Also suggestions on a good sub amp for this unit would be appreciated.

thanks
craig.

Yeah, that LE-1 crossover/amp is pretty darned expensive. The people at Revel told me that the Sub15 wouldn't sound good without the equalization controls found in the LE1. Also, Revel recommends placing the sub in a corner to load it up, and using the LE1 to attenuate any overly reinforced frequencies.

I can't be sure of any of this and have to wonder how much of it is marketing. Any sub would be up against these same obstacles.

I would think an amp like the Bryston 7B would drive the Sub15 very effectively.
