Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: subwoofer connection options

It's a voltage source to the amp, not a current source. And it's at a relatively high voltage level compared to other "input" signals.

I think you could run well-shielded fine-wires to the plate amp "line level inputs" and you would have no problem.

The internal amplifier in the plate amp is providing the *power*. The speaker connections are simply supply an input signal, which is scaled down to match the input sensitivity of the plate amp.

So, if you have wire laying around you could go with "why not", but based on how this works, more copper is not necessarily going to be "better".

In a way, it would be like using 10ga. to rewire your phono cartridge.
