Each method will work but the first one would be prferable to me because the pre amp method would strongly depend on the features of the pre amp and the first method the features are usually on the sub like volume level and phase.
Two subwoofers for two channel music listening
Hi all ,
How do you hook up two active subwoofers? I have two SVS 1000 series subwoofers with both high level (speaker) and line level (RCA) ins.
Method one - Lets say the subs have high/speaker level inputs. So do you hook up the left sub from the left amplifier out and similarly right speaker out from the amp to right sub high level in? This set up is just like the stereo pair of speakers.
Method two - The alternate is from a preamp hook up the RCA line in of one subwoofer then daisy chain i.e. RCA out from the first sub to the RCA in of the second subwoofer. Not using a Y splitter from the preamp. Trying to use both red and white RCA from preamp to red and white RCA in of the first sub.
Which method do you prefer? Any benefit or disadvantage of one over the other? Thanks for your comments and inputs.
