Stereo sub out to mono, is it safe?


My new integrated amp has L/R sub output and my sub only has a mono input. Is it safe to use a Y adapter to sum the L/R output to the mono input or will this cause a short? Thanks for your insight.

Don't you need a 'summing' adapter for this application?

I don't think this is the same as 'splitting' a single output which a vanilla flavored "Y" adapter would do.

But 'summing' two signals into one would take a different "Y" configuration.

The quickest example I could find was the one on Antimodes website:
