Possible Subwoofer?

[jmason]

I have a Technics SA-800 powering my two JBL Studio Series S26's. I was hoping to incorporate a subwoofer to help the S26's with some of the bass, however I'm not sure if I have a dedicated subwoofer output on the amp. Is there any way around this, or am I at a loss?

Thanks!

An LFE output is not required. Most sub woofers have line level and speaker level inputs.

You can use the speaker level in and pass through connections on the sub woofer. You can also use the A+B speaker connections on your receiver. Connect your mains to A and the sub to B. You don't have to worry about an impedance mismatch. The input impedance on the sub woofer is very high so it takes no power from the receiver.

If I were to run the Sub off of B, would it matter which left/right speaker I chose? Or would there be a way for it to take both inputs? That way it isn't only playing one side of the track

Hi,

You connect both L + R to the subwoofer, it monos the signal.

rgds, sreten.

The speaker level connections on sub woofers have connectors for the left and right channels.
