[Add sub to older 2-channel system]

No problem.  Let us know what you get.  You'll need something decent to keep up with the F2's.

Well, I ordered the Klipsch R-112SW. Hopefully that'll get me some bass.

OK, found it.  No issues whatsoever in splitting the pre out signal.  You'll just need to use the controls on the sub for crossover duty.

 

Great. Thank you for your quick response. If I use the crossover controls on the sub, that only affects the frequency of the sub. I would still be sending full range to the Forte II's. I'm sure they can handle it. I already replaced the crossovers in the cabinets with ones from Crites. Not messing with them again.

 

Sorry for all the questions.

It would be in finitely easier to find a sub with line level (speaker wire) inputs.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks. I guess spitting the phono's from the preamp to the amp would be a bad thing, huh?

Hello folks, I have several years experience installing car audio systems with amps, component speakers, subs, and both active and passive crossovers. BUT I have limited experience with home audio systems. I would like to add a sub to my current system. My equipment is circa ~1991. Carver TFM-35 amp, Carver ct-3 preamp, and a set of Klipsch Forte II's. I'm looking at the Klipsch subs. They seem to be self-powered and have line-level inputs. How do I integrate this sub into my current system? Do I need a crossover? What do I power the line-level inputs with? Do I need to high-pass the Forte II's?

 

Sorry for being a Noob; and any advise would be greatly appropriated.
