I have a Sony HT receiver pushing two Cerwin Vega VS-120's. I bought a Crowntech 1 amp to get more watts to them. I am having trouble hooking it up, I ran a splitter from the tape out on the receiver to the 1/4 jack channel plug on one of the channels on the amp. It works but the speaker is a lot more quiet even when I turn up the amp 3/4 of the way. Also the volume on the receiver does nothing when I turn it up and down.
The speaker had much more bass and was a lot louder when hooked up to just the receiver. I don't understand this because the receiver only puts out 50 watts and the amp puts out 220 at 4 ohm. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or why it is quieter, can anyone solve this puzzle for me?
