Using a sub with no sub out on my amp
I just bought a Rega IO amplifier it has no sub out I'm using the triangle Berea bro two speakers I'm finding this amp is lacking in bass. I got about a $250 budget I want to add a subwoofer but I don't have a sub out how do I go about hooking one up to my amplifier any help would be appreciated

Your amp is fine. 2 options- buy a sub with speaker level inputs, or add a Line Out Converter to run a sub at line level off your speaker terminals. Either way no changes to the amp and won't affect the amp. A LOC is just a couple 10k to 20k resistors that drops speaker output down to line level. They are under $20 at Parts Express, or you can even DIY for only about $2. That's what I did, see the pic on my system page. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367?utm_campaign=website&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_mediu... If its good enough for me.... With subs don't bother spending a lot on one it is better to use more, but one is better than none- 2 is better than 1, etc. Don't worry about which channel either. Seriously, I have done it all these different ways, adding subs to an amp with no sub out is the easiest thing you can do. |
