HI !
Currently my set up has the D812K driving my 7.1 set and 3 other amps chained on the SUB OUT jack running my 8 various sized subs ( 12"woofers x2 )(12"x2)(10"x2)(8"x2)
Heres why Im asking:
I can get access to 4 identical integrated amps running @ 200w total w/ pre ins & outs RCA jacks in the rear of them.
Hence I can use the 4 amps to run fronts-centre-surround sides-surround rears by hooking all of them up to the rear of the D812-K.
QUESTION:
1. Would I notice a significant change in sound quality using the 4 amps instead of using the D812K amp ? In other words is this set up worth the pain to wire and install ?
2. Would wiring this way allow me to still use the volume control on the D812K for all 4 amps hooked up to the D812K ?
Just to give you a bigger picture as to why Im thinking adding the 4 amps - my entire HT set right now is:
