Bring back an old thread from 2019 to get clarification.
I am researching the viability of adding a pair of Rythmik L12 subs to my system that is based on shortest signal path. I run a DAC directly into mono amps that sit at the base of my speakers. No preamp, no LFE or subwoofer connections in my system. My speaker cables are only 12” in length. I prefer high level input connections.
Miller Carbon suggested a solution to connecting a subwoofer to high level signal source when a high level signal source input is not available on the subwoofer.
The clarification I am looking for is the “Parts Express” LOC, that is mentioned earlier in this thread. It states that it has a 30 watts max rating. If my amplifier is rated at 400 watts, what reliability concern is there due to the vast differences in ratings?
Hopeful the Electrical Engineers and millercarbon will chime in and provide clarification on why the difference in ratings would not be a potential reliability issue. These electrical concepts are above my pay grade.
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom.
