Alright guys, I think I know the answer but I thought I would ask for advice / to confirm.
System: Musical Fidelity A3 Cd player and Amp. Audiovector mi1 Signature speakers. Nordost cables.
I would like a bit more bass weight with my Hifi setup and after reading about AVI’s small stereo speakers with a subwoofer, I would like to try adding a subwoofer to my system. Before I buy one, I plan on borrowing my father’s subwoofer just to see what effect it would have.
I am unsure about the different ways to connect a subwoofer. My amplifier does not have a Low Frequency output on it and only one set of speaker outputs. It does have a pre-amp output thought; can this be used in someway? I know that one possible way is to connect the speaker outputs straight from the amplifier to the Subwoofer and then use the speaker outputs on the subwoofer to connect my speakers.
Personally, I don’t like the idea of using this method as I would use my Nordost cables to connect to the sub, but I would have to buy another set of cables to connect my speakers up. I know that I need another set of speaker cables anyway, but if I could connect the sub direct to the amplifier, or off the speakers, I would just buy cheapish speaker cables.
Is there a way of using the Pre-amp output of the amplifier to connect to the subwoofer? Any help / advise would be much appreciated.
