Could sound better Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I recently connected a ksw 10 to the 2nd output rca jacks on a carver c1 preamp on my 2 channel setup and it seems like my Latino st 120 amplifier has less power? is this possible? Isn't the ksw "self powered"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Yes, they have their own amp. I doubt you have less power rather a weaker signal going to your amp now. Just turn the volume up on the pre to compensate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeared music is normally a phase issue between the sub and mains. Put the sub on the same plane as your speakers and set the phase to 0. Set the crossover down to 40 if possible.
