Newb question about subwoofer inputs (1 Viewer)

[EricDeB]

Hey just a quick question. My subwoofer has two inputs, both a right and a left one. This means that I will need a Y adapter with my subwoofer cable, correct? Is there another way to hook it up without a Y adapter, or is that the only way to utilize both inputs?

Thanks a ton

You should hook it up as the manufacturer recommends. I tried mine both ways, and I hear no difference. Either the left or right should be marked "mono"(for a single cable hookup).

Hum I have a velodyne ct120 maybe that helps, but I can't figure out which one is mono, because it doesn't say on the back of the subwoofer.

Eric,

They are linked together ("added") anyway. So it won't make much of a difference which one you use, if you're using only one input you may have to turn the volume a little bit up as compared with two inputs (most probably without even noticing).

Disclaimer: this is true unless the manufacturer explicitly states otherwise in the manual. But, really, I never met a sub (yet?) that needed both inputs to receive a signal.
