Hi guys, I’ve got an older marantz nr1402.
I’m planning on upgrading later in the year to one with Dolby Atmos and two sub outs.
A decent deal came up for two cambridge audio sx120 subs so I picked them up (ready for the upgrade later)
I bought a splitter so I could use both of them from the single sub out on my current av for now but there seems to be feedback hum on both subs and if I touch the amp plate on the back of either sub the hum changes tone slightly.
I read you can connect them this way to a single sub out so any idea why I’m getting the feedback? Seems like a ground problem or something…?
I’ve tested the subs using the pre out on the av and they are fine.
Also singly from the sub out and they’re fine.
The splitter is a basic cheap one, two came in the pack and same problem with both splitters.
Am I missing something here regards connecting theory?
Thanks
