Two Subwoofers (1 Viewer)

[Logan G]

Can I hook up two subs as follows?

Sub out on processer to line level in on subwoffer A

and

line level out on Sub A to line level in on Subwoofer B

Both are powered, any problems with this?

Yes you can do it that way. You can also use Y-adaptor with two female ends one male end. Run the male end into prossesor run the two rca outs to the sub into the two female ends and that's it.

Many of the higher quality subs will incorporate their own fixed "highpass" crossover so that no bass frequencies get to the main speakers causing distortion. Your situation will definitely not work if your sub has a highpass crossover. FYI, most Velodyne subs incorporate either 80hz or 85hz high pass crossover in the line level outputs and the speaker level outputs.

As Terence stated, use a Y-adapter.

Happy listening.

It won’t be a problem if the line level output from sub A is a straight-thru signal (in front of the crossover). If the second sub has its own crossover, you don’t want to send it a filtered signal.
