If it's an equally acceptable method, there's something I like about the notion of sending the amp's full signal (from speaker terminal A) to the mains and sending the signal to the powered subwoofer via speaker terminal B. . . It seems logical to me that the less the signal leaving the amp has to experience before reaching the mains, the better - at least in my small, 2.1 channel arrangement. . .

Thanks to all who are helping . . . The back of the sub has two adjustable knobs, one is for volume and the other is labeled LOW PASS, and adjusts from 80 to 160 HZ. Based on your responses, it appears that it is NOT high-passed but rather low-passed - and therefore, the way I have it connected appears to be correct. Do I have that correct? Thanks again. . .

I scanned the 254 posts this morning and didn't see anything on point in the titles. I have a Polk SW attached to a vintage Kenwood KA-7100 int/amp (no SW out). I ran speaker terminal A to the SW and from the SW to my Heresies. Is there a better way to do this with the equipment I have? For examle, can speaker A power the Heresies and speaker B the SW - with the speaker selector on 'both' ? Also I wondered in a simple 2.1 set up like mine, is adding a second int/amp possible (one for the speakers - one for the SW) - and if so, would it make any sense? Sorry if this has been asked time and again . . . I know very little about such things and after I recently acquired the Heresy II's I ran across this forum and appreciate the opportunity to ask and learn. Pop in Nashville . . .

"The H2's that I currently own I bought them for 400.00 and they are as close to perfect as you can get, no nicks or scratches, pushed in cones, nothing they look brand new" FYI . . . Very similar to my experience two months ago. Found H ll's for $400 in Huntsville, AL (Craigslist) - excellent to mint condition.
