    Adding Sub to RB1080 for stereo?

    Hi all

    Just a quick question really. I have heard that some people put a sub onto a stereo system. Is this possible?

    I have the RC1070 and RB1080 and and I want to know if one can put a sub on this system? If yes, will it work properly?

    Depending on the sub in question, you could use 1 of 3 options:

    1) connect the sub to the RC-1070's other pre-outs
    2) connect sub to RC-1070 and RB-1080 to filtered outs of Sub
    3) make speaker-level connection to sub from speaker terminals of RB-1080.

    While I do not own a sub, I know that Bigburner is quite satisfied with option #2 in his system. You could PM him, but I'm sure that other people who have a sub setup will chime in.

    Hope this helps, Ben.

        by gymguymass
        I am in the process of ordering the RC1070 stereo preamp and RB1080 power amp, and am curious if anyone has any recommendations for interconnects and speaker cables. I currently own a pair of Mirage OM10 speakers. My music tastes run from rock (Metallica, Guns n Roses, Tool, etc) to female vocalists...

        Hi all, this is my first post so go easy on me!

        Ive had an RSP-1066 and a RMB-1075 for a few months now but there is something annoying me. I have a sub but for music I would prefer to leave it out and just run my Dynaudio Audience 52's. I am running my speakers as small with a subwoofer...

        RSP1098 2CHPCM with SUB
        by ghostbuster
        Holy moly, never believed in adding the sub with 2CH stereo cd's (REL Stadium III). But recently took the time to do some tests with it, and after a while trying different things i have to say my soundstage improved drastic. So much better bass without being too dominant. I'm happy to discover this,...

        computer analog output as sub xo for stereo

        I would like to use my computer to play music. The receiver I have available is from the 60's. I have a sub to use for low end, but it has no hi pass xo; PE 70w Plate Amp. The sound would be cleaner if I could just run it from the .1 channel, but when I do, it seems to have everything, not just LF....
