Your sub will most likely have a low-pass built in and your main system will most likely not go down very low. So, try a Y-cable first and see how it sounds. If it sounds OK, buy yourself another SB with the money you save. :) R. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
