Run those two lines to your L & R inputs on your ava250 amp. That's how I set up my AV-15 sub with my Rythmik 380 plate. Piece o' cake. Enjoy your sub (your next step will be to EQ it with a BFD1124 or equivalent....)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted May 13, 2003 Author Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2003 To me it sounds very good, you have to realize the is the first sub i ever owned. Shiver driver, ava 250 amp in a 5 cf ported box tuned to 18 hz . I really needed some bass , sb3 front , sc1 center , sf1 rear ,old technics center for rear center. I need to get a spl meter and a test cd,to hard to do by ear,dont think it is even all that close now . What is a good cd to use i read avia is ok , where to buy this can't find off line , thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougdrake Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Here's the AVIA disk at www.half.com: http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=4018722&domain_id=1877&meta_id=3 Also, check out the Sound & Vision Home Theater test disk. I think you can find it at their web site and some online places. It's less expensive than Avia and it more up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
