Re: Subwoofer X-Over Question

Hi,

Thanks for responding. I dawned on me last night though that since there is only one pair of line level connectors/terminals--which means the speaker cables from the amp to the sub come in contact with the cables connecting the satellites to the sub--the practical effect is that there is an unfiltered signal travelling from the cables leading from the amp to the cables leading to the satellites. I dont see how the signal to the satellites could be filtered.

On the other hand, if I connected the sub to the amp via an LFE connection and then connected the satellites to the sub, there would be the potential for the lower frequencies not to be passed along to the satellites. I don't have an LFE output on my amp so that is not an option.

It seems to me that connecting all the speaker cables to the one set of terminals on the sub results in the creation of a signal path straight from the amp to the satellites and, therefore, no filtered signal to the satellites.

Am I wrong about this?

Thanks.
