convicted21 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Is there any way to run a secondary amp through my Onkyo 606?? This would just need to be for the front Forte's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 seems like overkill. So if your convicted as a 21 year-old you should be prosecuted as an adult, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InVeNtOr Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 i run an emotiva with my onkyo 805. you need to hook up a rca cable from the onkyo (pre outs) to the amp inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I could be wrong but I do not think the 606 has pre-outs for an amp. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convicted21 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 For the record im 31 and never been convicted... haha Thats my question on the 606, if you look at the picture of the back it shows front pre-out (red and white) will this not work for a second amp?

clermontcop Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The 606 does not have pre-outs to hook up an amp!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I know this is pure "Heresy".... But, you can use the tape deck circuitry. The output (look in the Onkyo manual at the specs) should be ~150mV - ~250 mV. Take that out via RCA connectors to another amp's "tape play" or "tape monitor" (or the Aux)inputs. It is "cascading" and you have to be very careful with that method due to gain issues, but is a "field expedient" method of running multiple amps from the same source when you cannot split the pre-main on the primary. Better method is to find an SAE parametric equalizer (PEQ) or a Sansui AX-7 mixer. They take a single input and can cascade that signal out to 2 or 3 separate amps, respectively, via the tape circuitry. The best "modern" method is to send the tape record signal to a SAE PEQ and then route that out to an Esoteric Sound Super Connector. That allows a cascade to 4+ separate amplifiers with virtually no signal degradation. It works quite well. That's the method I use for "wall of voodoo" with 4 amps and 4 pairs when I get the "urge"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
