Hello fellow "Audiokarma-ites"!
I'm a fairly new member of Audiokarma, and audiophile novice. I live in Forest Lake, Minnesota, and own various Marantz 22XX series stereos and various Pioneer SX series stereos. My current favorite is my SX-1250.
I switch between two sets of speakers in my two channel setup Klipsch Heresy II, and A/D/S L730. The Heresy II speakers are clearer and project a wider sound stage, but lack the bass the A/D/S speakers punch out. Both are wonderful speakers, but I want to help the Heresy's. This desire is where my troubles began...
The reason I'm here calling upon your collective wisdom is I cannot figure out how to connect my recently purchased Klipsch R12SW powered subwoofer to my cherished SX-1250.
The Equipment:
Pioneer SX-1250
Klipsch R-12SW powered subwoofer
2 - RCA interconnect Y-cables
The RCA Jacks:
SX-1250 - Pre Out (L, and R), and Power In (L, and R)
R-12SW - Line In (L/LFE, and R)
The Current Attempt/Connection:
"Transmitting signal" from SX-1250 - Pre Out (L, and R) to R-12SW - Line In (L/LFE) via RCA interconnect Y-cable
"Return signal" from R-12SW - Line In (R) to SX-1250 - Power In (L, and R) via RCA interconnect Y-cable
The Result:
Mono sound coming from my speakers. Balance left or right leaves sound playing in the opposite speaker.
The Plea for Help:
I acknowledge my ignorance. Hindsight tells me I should of done more research. In my head my mother's voice admonishes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Likewise I hear my father telling me to, "Measure twice, cut once."
So, here I am despite the research and the proverbs.
Please, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance.
