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.

You have to check to see if there isn't a high-pass filter on the speaker outputs of the subwoofer.  Sometimes they put a capacitor in series with the output to the speakers to limit bass to them.  This may be detrimental to sound quality if they didn't use the best quality capacitors.
