I intend to build a little circuit that sums and slightly amplifies as I have discussed with John. I'll connect it to either Y-connectors at the Preamp-outs of my preamp or its Tape-out jacks. From there, I'll run a single mono RCA cable to the low-level input (there's only one) of the sub, an Outlaw Audio LFM-1. The LFM-1 (and most subwoofers with crossovers, I've learned) contains a low-pass filter only. As I've said before, my mains are fairly large and go fairly low (http://www.theheals.org/jon/hi_fi.asp), but wherever they roll off naturally, I'll attempt to intersect that curve with subwoofer's low-pass cutoff curve. The curves probably won't have the same slope, but I'm sure I can get close, and hopefully it'll be at a pretty low point (<50Hz) where they intersect. I'll post a picture of the circuit when I've finished it. Also, I'm hoping that I can impose on John Stimson to doublecheck my schematic before I actually start soldering. :-) -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20907 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
