bainjs Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I just ordered a set of Heresy IIIs and wondered if I use a subwoofer, what would be the recommended way to wire them? Would you connect the Heresy to the subwoofer outputs or disable the subwoofer crossover by running parallel connections to the subwoofer and the Herseys? Thanks!

4tay Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 When I run sub/sat I let the satellite run it's full range and cross over the sub at a point where they will blend. For the heresy's a crossover point would be between 40-60hz, depending on the slope of the subs cutoff. Of course the other school of thought is to cut the sats off completely below 80hz and let the sub do the work down there. 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other I suppose. Just make sure you get a REAL sub that isn't just a home theater boom box designed to thump between 40 and 80hz, with little in the 1st octave.

bainjs Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm using a Bottlehead S.E.X amp in a room 12 x 18. I guess I'll try it both ways to see what sounds the best to me. Thanks for your replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4tay Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I built one of thier pre-amps about 5 years ago. It was impressively good and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
