psalm333 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have a Yamaha M85 amp with 3 pair of speaker outputs. I'm using 1 pair for La Scala's, 1 pair for some outdoor bose speakers (usually turned off), when adding a subwoofer to compliment the La Scala's is it best to use the 3rd pair of the speaker outputs directly from the amp or connect the La Scala's through the subwoofer? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Welcome to the forum. Try either way and see what sounds best to you. Wire and cables are cheap from Monoprice.com. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The Yamaha amp does not have a line level for the subwoofer. The best way to connect is using a sub with high level inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montego Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Don't know what kind of preamp you have but I used y-cables as a splitter between the preamp and amp and ran cables to the line level inputs of the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
