sub hookup question


I want to hook up a sub to a rega brio r but I want to use the pre amp on the rega, not connecting it through the speakers. Do I need a patch cord or something to do this? thanks for your help.

A friend just bought an REL and it has exactly what you are looking for. It taps off of the speaker outputs with 2 tiny wires. No extra outputs needed, no external/sub crossover. If you can afford it, check it out!
you might want to look into acquiring a Rega Mira 3, which has more wattage and the variable outputs useable with a subwoofer.
I cant run speaker cables from the amp-- they are taken up by the bi-wired speaker cable
"I can't run speaker cables from the amp-- they are

You just parallel another set in with what you have now.
That's how you usually do it. It won't hurt anything as
long as you don't have any stray/frayed wires that could
touch each other.

If you are using banana plugs with your bi-wire set, use
spades with the sub wires. If you are using spades with
your bi-wire set, use bananas with the sub wires.
im using banana plugs now- are you sure there is enough room to squeeze spades into it? Am I missing something here- using what I have now there is no way I ccan fit spades into where the banana plugs are now. Sorry if I dont understand- never used a sub before
