Woof Woof need a little help


Looking to buy a powered subwoofer for my son so he can hear his rap in all its "glory". I am unsure if he can use it with his current equipment. He has an old Yamaha (1979) integrated amp. Can he plug the sub into the "B" speaker inputs and set output to A & B or do subs require a special input? Thanks for helping the ignorant.

Hi Trelja

Sorry about the travesty. I knew the lyrics above were used in the chorus a Snoop Dogg track but I had the feeling that they were sampled from somewhere else but I just couldn't place it @ the time. I didn't have the time to fully research and pull the proper reference. I just copied and pasted the lyrics. They made no reference to George Clinton.

Again my apologies.
No apologies necessary. Actually, I was only having some fun.

If you don't know the song, Atomic Dog, you can check the incredibly dated video out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szkmivRWegU

By the way, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while - in my opinion, you've got probably the coolest moniker on Audiogon.
Depending on the sub you can you a speaker out like you mentioned or I prefer a preamp output if available, that way the volume will go up and down with the volume control on the amplifier.. Or you can use a tape out and adjust the volume on the sub. I would suggest that you teach him not to overwhelm the music with the sub.
'Don't overwhelm the music with the sub'....to a teen! Nice try.

You could run the sub dead end from the 'b' speaker outputs but the mains will continue to run full-range.

YOU adjust the darn thing since the youngster will doubtless crank it UP and have the crossover too high so not only will he eventually overdrive the amp.....fried tweeters coming right up, but be listening to awful, muddy ....whatever he calls it.
