Hello, all.
I've just made an account, despite lurking andand learn a lot from this website for years, simply to ask for assistance as I am too much of a novice to proceed.
So, my stereo set up consists of a Yamaha RX-V650 Receiver connected to a Behringer A-500 power amplifier that gives life to my Yamaha NS-690's (Mark 1- the originals).
I recently acquired a Onkyo M-282 Power Amplifier ($40) that I'd like to use to power a pair of passive subwoofers I'd like to build since space and funds are limited. The subwoofers kit is
Dayton Audio 6-1/2" Down Firing Passive Mini Subwoofer Kit from Parts-Express. I mostly want the two subwoofers to add to the low frequencies as my Yamahas don't output much for live concerts, symphonies, soundtracks, hip-hop/rap, rock, etc. They're not completely lacking, they're just not as immersive when it comes to bass compared to their phenomenal (in my opinion) mid and high range frequencies.
So, my question
How do I set up the Onkyo and subwoofers to my current systems so that the subwoofers have the exact same signal the loudspeakers are receiving. Basically use the subwoofers to take charge of the low frequencies my Yamahas can't muster. I want them to be in tune so that the subwoofers metaphorically disappear.
