SVS Subwoofer Connection

The manual shows running one set of wires from the speaker level outputs on the amp to the speaker level inputs on the sub and another set of wires from the speaker level outputs on the amp to the speakers. Would it work and be safe to just run from the amp to the subs and jumper from the subs to the speakers?

The reason for this is to avoid another long and tedious speaker wire run.

Gear is PS Audio Stellar M700 amps, (2) SVS SB-100-Pro, and Magnepan LRS+.

Thanks.

Hello, 

Just run it via the directions but use very inexpensive speaker cables to the subs. It is a signal the subs are grabbing. You lose about 1/4 ohm of resistance from the amp but you won’t notice it in the sound. If you do it your way you will really degrade the sound from those amps.

The wireless adapters are good for home theater but bad for two channel due to the time delay. KEF and JL Audio even say there is a time delay with their wireless connections. Bass is already slower than the highs. You will just delay it to much and might be running out of phase.
