Sub Woofer connected to amp

[admin_exported]

Anyone hear of connecting a sub to the rec line level of an amp to bolster bass?

The Rec Line Level as used in Tape Loops is a fixed output. So when you turn up the amp is has no bearing on the volume level of the output and hence the Sub will not increase in volume either.

You will need a variable output like a Pre-Out or something similar.....

Cheer's Messiah,

What If I turned the volume up on the woofer?

Well every time you adjusted the volume on the amp you would have to adjust the volume on the sub.

This would soon get very annoying and it would be hard to get it right every time.

What Sub are you thinking of connecting to what amp?? If you don't have the right output then most subs can be connected via speaker cable.....

I should probably just upgrade my amp. I've a cambridge azur 340 se. It's a fine amp but I just want to bomb the be-jasus (pardon me messiah) out of my monitor audio br2's.

Well that Amp has twin speaker outputs so maybe you could utilise one of them??

So I could connect the sub's cable directly onto speaker b terminals?

If the subwoofer has high-level or speaker-level inputs, yes you can.
