HELP I need information about interconnects

A true preamp will not have "speaker outputs" on it. It sounds like maybe you are trying to use an integrated amp as a preamp? Unless this has preout/main-in jumpers or a seperate set of preouts, (usually RCA jacks), you won't be able to use it. You could maybe use the tape out jacks, if there are any, but sometimes these are not controlled by the volume control.

They are never controlled by the volume control, as that would alter the recording level of your tape deck or whatever. You could insert a volume control at this point but I share Mofimadness's confusion as to what you are attempting.

I'm also confused about the way you are describing this.

If you tell us what type of "preamp" you are using, that may shed some light on things.

Graemeoh...

Do not divulge your secrets about your pre. ...they all just want to suck the secrets from your setup! But in all honesty, wtf are you talking about. LOL.

Yes, I figured my understanding of the situation was convoluted and just plain ignorant...

In that sense, here's what I am specifically trying to do, and at the derision of Mr. Quark, some secrets I may have to divulge.

Also, I'm too much of a novice to care. So here we go:

The 'preamp' I am referring to is an old(er) Bose AM/FM receiver with Aux, Tape, AM/FM, and Phono Inputs in the rear. My understanding (mind you not knowledge persay) is that I wish to transfer the audio signal from the second set of standard speaker outputs (two pairs of red and black clips, you know the type), to the right and left input jacks (which appear to be RCA jacks) of the Bedini amplifier to the speakers.

Is there a proper interconnect plug for this?

Is this configuration even possible (i feel like it should be)?

Is it dangerous simply to DIY an interconnect from a set of robust RCA cables?

Is this any clearer???

I appreciate greatly all of your attempts/patience with me.
