ElCid79 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 So I will spell out my HT setup.Marantz SR7001 (as a preamp)NAD T955 Power ampKlipsch KF-28 Icon 8'' mainsKlipsch SF-1 SurroundsKlipsch SC-1 Center ChannelI have an older Klipsch KSW-12 Synergy series subwoofer from the late 90s, that has served me very well. On this latest BF I managed to snag the Klipsch 12'' Reference Sub R-12SW for about $150 using some store credit.Should I just ditch the old Synergy, or run a dual sub setup?Some stats.New Sub (R-12SW)FREQUENCY RESPONSE 29Hz-120Hz +/-3dBMAXIMUM ACOUSTIC OUTPUT 116dBAMPLIFIER All digitalAMPLIFIER POWER 200W / 400WDRIVE COMPONENTS 12" (30.5 cm) high excursion, IMG, front-firing wooferENCLOSURE MATERIAL MDFENCLOSURE TYPE Bass ReflexINPUTS Line level/LFE RCA jacksHEIGHT 16" / 40.64 cm (16.5" with feet)WIDTH 14" / 35.56 cmDEPTH 18.5" / 47 cm (19.2" with grille)WEIGHT 33 lbs (15 kg)FINISH Brushed Black Polymer VeneerBUILT FROM 2014FEATURES Volume, Lowpass, Phase, Auto PowerPHASE Switchable 0-180 degreesOld Sub (KSW-12)Power handling, FTC Rated Power: 105 watts continuous, 22-100Hz @ ≤ 1% THD Power handling, Dynamic Power: 440 watts @ ≤ 1% THD Sensitivity: 113dB SPL 1/8 space, 1 meter Low pass crossover: Continuously variable from 40-120Hz, 24dB/octave slope above 120Hz Woofer: K-1071-K 12” (30.5cm) down-firing fiber-composite cone Amplifier: Class A/B discrete MOSFET outputs Phase: Switchable 0 or 180 degrees Enclosure material: MDF Enclosure type: Bass reflex via rear-mounted port Inputs: 2) Line level/LFE RCA phono jacks and 2) High level speaker terminals Outputs: 2) High level speaker terminals, high pass filtered at 100Hz, 6dB/octave slope Auto power on: 2 Second ON delay, 15 minute OFF delay Dimensions: 17” (43.18cm) x 15” (38.1cm) x 15” (38.1cm) Weight: 35 lbs.

So I would need to run a Male to dual female Y-Splitter, a cable. Then a single female to two male y splitters (I don't think this part is necessary, as both subs have a LFE input, but I have always run a splitter on my subs.)
