thewolf Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have a solid state Yamaha amp (M85) that I use in my 2-channel system. The amp has three speaker outputs. I have my Lascala's and a set of outdoor speakers connected to the amp. Can I simply connect the SW12 to the remaining speaker output?

CECAA850 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Do you mean output, or am I reading this wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Are they pre-outs or speaker wire outputs (low level or high level)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Are they pre-outs or speaker wire outputs (low level or high level)? All three outputs are speaker wire outputs; capable of connecting 3 sets of speakers. They are simply labeled speaker #1, #2, #3. Currently I have Lascala's connected to the #1 and outdoor speakers to #3. I switch off any or all speakers with the push of a button. I figure I have three options of connecting the sub: Option 1 - connect the sub speaker wires to the speaker output of the amp (speaker #1) along with the Lascala speaker wires. Option 2 - connect the sub speaker wires to the second output terminals (speaker #2) of the amp. Option 3 - connect the sub speaker wires directly to the amp output (speaker #1) and connect the Lascala's to the sub speaker terminals. Which option will provide the most optimal sound?

CECAA850 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Option 2 and 3 should sound the same, assuming you're not using ungodly lengths of speaker wire. Option 3 would be the option I would use. I would not use option 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks for all your help. Got the sub connected via option 3, sounds great. However, dealing with a hum now. Started a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
