Velodyne ct 150 has rca in and rca out.
Can I run the out to another subwoofer?

Thanks. just slightly worried as that sub is connected to a system that I would have serious trouble replacing if something goes bang
Taking a closer look at the manual its saying I should pre amp to in rca. Subwoofer out rca to amp??Those are the rca plugs I thought I could run to another sub.
Apparently this uses the sub to bi amp a system.
However I have a nakamichi pa7 class A 200 watts per channel power amp and matching pre amp
I am not sure I want this thing looped In to my system and using it's own crossover. Can anyone advise??
As it is I have pre amp to sub in and it's working. Do I need to use the rca outs?
Which outputs would I run to the other sub?
Those rca's run through a high pass filter which would eliminate any bass signal?
Confused...

when you feed the subwoofer out to the input of a powered sub, you ARE feeding exactly what the first sub is reproducing to the input of another amp.
After looking at that picture, it doesn't seem to be set up for daisy-chaining. You're probably best off by putting a couple of "Y splitters on the preamp out and feeding each leg to it's own sub..
FWIW, it's a good practice to make sure everything is powered down when kerfutzing with wires and cables.

I agree. Feeding the high pass signal from the sub's line level output is not what you want to send to another sub. But, depending on your main speakers, it might have some benefits to run it through the amp as it shows.
If you want to distribute the signal to multiple subs then you will need to use Y cables in the connections before the first sub to daisy chain/distribute signal as suggested in previous post(s). Doesn't matter if you put the Y cables at the preamp output or at the sub input. I'd put them wherever it makes it more convenient or makes for cleaner, shorter cable runs.

Thanks I will use y splitters.
I have jbl studio 590's
You think it would be worthwhile using the subs crossover on those?
They are nice speakers I am not sure Its needed. However I am not the most knowledgeable guy here on audiokarma if someone could chime in on a reason why it would be beneficial I may think about it.
Thanks
When using the y splitters
What would be the best way to split them
Left left to one sub and right right to the other.
Or right left standard configuration?

Both ways can be done?
Left left to one right right to the other would be stereo correct?
Again just being cautious as crossing speaker wires tend to make stuff go bang. But these are rca's

You need to feed left and right to each/every sub if you want the subs to play summed mono bass from both channels.
You don't need to double feed each sub if you are going to run them as left and right stereo subs, if that is what you are implying by "left left" and "right right". You only need one left feed to the left sub and one right feed to the right sub in that type of setup.
