Best Covers
The Allman Brothers Eat A Peach Santana  Caravanserai I had to think about this one, @cincyjim , but I take it that you are referring to the actual album covers?

Are you saying the in and out connections on my subs have a crossover in between them? What I am curious if it’s a filter actually, filtering anything out that maybe shouldn’t be @grisly: hopefully someone will chime in and offer an explanation...

Y splitters hook 2 sets of drivers in parallel, which halves the inductance. So the amp current doubles going into the low impedene load and it trips. You are lucky your amp has a breaker and does’t just fail from the high current. Never hook 2 ...

Okay, that’s as described previously and what i was thinking and looks like pic 2 of your picture post (except that you didn’t have the speakers in that diagram):: speaker wire out of L speaker post in amp into L sub and speaker wire out of L sub...

. . . sorry about this, but one last thing: I just did some cursory searches, and apparently it was "subliminal messaging" related to coke (the cola kind) and popcorn that may or may not have been successfully done back in ’57 to get people at the...

 We are in this hobby because we look for the perfect sound. . . . nope; I came to realize long ago that this achievement would be way beyond my capabilities.  But there are nights and/or afternoons that I am quite pleased with what my system d... 
Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment
I guess "affordable" is another relative term.  
Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To
It was a game time decision, but I started the session off this afternoon with Patricia Barber/Nightclub (red book).   I bought that one back in the '90s shortly after I bought Cafe Blue (even though, at the time, I wasn't grabbed by Cafe Blue).  ...

Update: I implemented the @carlsbad2 method and it works nicely Which is picture #2 of the pictures you posted, correct? Are you still going to try out a pair of "Y" splitters from Amazon just to see if you like RCAs to subs better? For what ...

I think I have a compromised system I am also a member of that club. it’s a glass with dirt on it, an extra layer of dirt won’t make a huge difference That is absolutely one way to look at it. Of course, the other way to look at it is. . . ...

@immatthewj I also thought of this. I know it’s lame but fairly cheap and maybe by Christmas I can budget for it; it could be nice visuals and a speaker "multiplier". If it could handle it. Douk Audio VU3 Dual Analog VU Meter, 2-Way Amplifier/Sp... 
Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To
I had always seen “Shoot Out The Lights” on many greatest albums lists. Got it a couple of years ago at Goodwill for a buck, but I don’t think I’ve given it a proper listen. I’ll do that very soon. AND Shoot Out The Lights is a great sounding ... 
Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To
Back in the early or mid '90s I heard a Richard Thompson song on the public radio station I used to listen to, so i went to the CD store and bought Richard And Linda Thompson/Shoot Out The Lights (1982, I think).  I remember listening to it a few ...

@immatthewj I have the same feeling about Y splitters, not very audiophile-ish. But - also cheaper than a box. I have not tried "serializing" subs and speakers. I want the signal to go from my amp directly to the speakers to somehow justify my s...
