Back with another question, similar to a question I had before.
I was given lots of advice from people, however after realising some things, it may not work, so I am going to make sure.
So i have a technics su-x902 amplifier.
It has A and B speaker outputs.
I want to use A with some cambridge audio sx80 speakers.
On the B channel I am planning to use a cambridge audio aero 9 (this sub does not have speaker level inputs, just line level and lfe)
Also note that this amp will only work with both A and B at the same time, if speakers are actually connected to both of those A and B channels. As it creates a circuit or something like that, the amplifier supports a minimum impedance of 8 ohms. The sx80s are 8 ohms 100w which is exactly what this amp outputs.
So, what I was originally planning on doing, was having a speaker to line level converter on the B channel for the aero 9 sub, but will that actually work with an amplifier like this? And will it create an impedance load?
The second thing I had in mind, would be to use one of the Rec Out tape deck/dat connectors, run that into an auxillary connector on my home theatre reciever, and then have the aero 9 connected to the lfe output on my home theatre reciever (in stereo mode with the speakers switched off).
So would my first plan with the line level converter actually work?
Or would my second option be the better choice?
As for my second option, I suppose I could actually just connecct the rec out connector straight into the subs line level connectors, however. I dont think it would be very loud, which is why I had the idea of using my home theatre reciever in mind.
-Thanks everyone
