garymd Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I finally opened my RSW-12 tonight and hooked it up to the center channel of the 299b. Since I didn't have a Y cable laying around I just hooked it up to the right channel of the sub. It seemed to work just fine. Is there any advantage or difference hooking it up to both channels? Chances are I won't use it much for 2-channel listening once my system moves upstairs. I get more than ample bass with the cornwalls but on occasion I may want to shake the house a little (or should I say a little more).

Deang Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 The bass track in music is usually mono, and them pumped through both channels. Typically though, I believe it's the left channel you want to plug into -- but I can't for the life of me remember why. If there is stereo bass recorded, and something from the bass is played through one channel only, you wouldn't hear it -- depending on what channel it was being played through. You don't really need Y 'cable'. You can go to Rat Shack and get a Y adapter -- about 6 inches long, and you can connect two interconnects to it to plug into your sub -- this way you'll be sure to get both channels.

garymd Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Thanks Dean. That answers my question. I know I have one of those adapters in my mountains of cables and wires but I just can't seem to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Well, I ran out to the Shack and got a Y adapter. The opening to DSOTM has brought a whole new meaning to bass in my basement. Wow! I can't imagine what the 15 would sound like. Can't wait to get my HT back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
