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.

Why aren’t you using the line inputs on your SVS sub ?   It’s a better way and much easier.

or a long, tedious line cable run.

I don’t see why it can’t be done that way. Why not give SVS a call? I’m sure they will let you know if you can do it without any problems!

I agree with @yogiboy.  Also if you connect the way you describe you might be running thru a high pass filter in the sub out to your mains.
