jwadd21 Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 I have only one hooked up to the amp now. Could the amp require both to be hooked up before it works? I am using a y splitter from the lfe output on the sub, connected to two audio cables which are connected to 2 1/4" stereophonic adapters which are plugged into the amp. I have heard that sometimes amps do not work if both inputs are not filled with speaker wire. If that is not the problem, then what is it? I know the subs work because I plugged them into the standard speaker spots on the receiver and they put out bass(a suprisingly large amount at that). HELP!

NOZ Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Which amp are you running, if it's the Samson, you have to run the amp in parallel,(switch at the back), and your input should be on the #1 input.

jwadd21 Posted August 23, 2002 Author Share Posted August 23, 2002 quote: Originally posted by TVodhanel: We included a 1/4" to RCA adaptor with each Fidek---not sure if you'll get it though. If not,all you need to get is a $2 adaptor from radioshack...the MONO 1/4" to rca adaptor. Then just use any old audio cable you have for the connection between the receiver subwoofer out and the Fidek input. You can Y the input into both channels on the FIDEK and use it in stereo mode---or just set the FIDEK to bridge and wire the subs in series(which would give you 1 8ohm load to the amp). For wiring, any generic 16g is fine for runs up to 12-16ft. 14g up to 25ft and I would go with 12g over 25-30ft.

HornEd Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Right on jwadd21... you just answered your own plea! Your subwoofer output is MONO... remember that stereo works on separation... but on a subwoofer channel it spells D-I-V-O-R-C-E. Get the hence to your RS droid so your two subs can co-exist happily ever after. -HornED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
