SB12+ with 2 Amps?

[MIB]

Can you connect an SB12+ to 2 amps if one or other is always switched off. Also would it be a major problem if both amps were accidentially turned on at the same time?

via the low level connection or the high?

I would contact svs ,i can't see that it would be a problem but i wouldn't like be the one that told you it will be ok when a poof of smoke comes out the back.

I've PM'ed Hayes at AVSales, just waiting for a response but think it would be a good idea to email SVS.


Anybody tried this?

Connect one amp to the left and the other to the right. The sub neither knows or cares about the source of the signal as it's not like connecting one speaker to the outputs of two power amplifiers which is a serious no-no.

Even if you played both amps at once, the signals would be summed into one mono signal just like they would if they were two parts of a stereo signal.

Thanks Russel - Hayes from AVSales has advised the same connection.
