    Sub-woofer wiring

    I am adding a subwoofer to my 2 channel audio system. I will be using a Velodyne SMS-1 for equalisation. How do I connect the left and right pre-amp outputs into the single RCA input of my Velodyne SMS-1? I read somewhere that a Y connector doesn't adequately sum up the left and right channels. Is this true?

    Hi,

    In fact you simply cannot use a Y adapter as it will shortcut the signal! As long as you don't have a dedicated sub-woofer output on your pre-amp, just connect one of the two outputs (left or right).

      by johnny_munyak
