Maybe the point is that normally everything below 100Hz is mixed to mono anyway. With Stereo subs you can set the crossover point as high as you like as long as the sub can handle it of course.
I mean, that's kind of the point of the forums, no?! To exchange ideas and share our opinions...
Not sure I understand your reaction there to a reasonable discussion that came up naturally
..True but the subs in the picture aren't even connected yet. Is it safe to connect subs to the speaker terminals of a Vibelink amp?Well, let's calm down, folks
@Puzz just posted a photo in the Vibelink photo gallery thread. He wasn't asking for advice about his audio, and the sub is not the subject
I know with REL subs connected at speaker level to a class D amp they recommend a different method, I'm not sure what that method is because I don't have a class D amp, but worth researching first maybe!
I have a very vague recollection of that advice from REL being disputed here
I imagine it could be disputed but worth knowing all the recommendations
I don't think anyone was talking about that until you came along, but I understood
.Disputed? Here? Surely notI imagine it could be disputed but worth knowing all the recommendations
Sharing and discussing is fine. Cramming it down someone's throat when they didn't ask for it in the first place is just another form of harrasement. If I'm happy with the way my system sounds, why should I listen to someone else spouting off that I should set something up differently when it's perfectly fine the way it is?I mean, that's kind of the point of the forums, no?!

If I used binding post adapters and put them in the WIIM's speaker cable inserts, couldn't I hook up small gauge wire to it and run it to the hi-level or speaker level inputs of the subs? It's just sending a very small signal to the subs. It's not like trying to hook up two pairs of speakers to the WIIM amp..Davros "YOU WILL OBEY"
There isn't a set rule with subwoofer setup, although high passing speakers and low passing subwoofer, with some kind of alignment box (wiim can do this but only for a single sub, not with multiple subs) and PEQ is recommended. especially with more than one sub
ie minidsp HD, I'm using one for a 3 subwoofer HT system, and the fourth output is used in a 2.1 system, so quite handy little box
Thanks but I'm not going through all of that. I refuse to use EQ and using the least amount of electronics for the most pure, unmolested sound. I'm then going to just use no subwoofers or simply return the unit.. I think this is personally a downfall for the WIIM Vibelink amp. It should've included at least one subwoofer output. Now, knowing you can't even use a sub with this amp is going to be a let down for many potential buyers..Have a look into this box, if it would work in your system. You need considerable EQ knowledge though, and figure out how to avoid stacking EQ in the Wiim

You'd take the pre out from your wiim sub out into that, then connect your 2 subwoofers into that. Run sweeps, and reference timing, do some MSO calcuations (someone on another forum did that for me) then import that into the console.
It's pretty complicated and NOT for the noobie, I know a bit (can run REW sweeps, have a idea what PEQ does, can import corrections into minidsp DSP) but the subwoofer alignment and correction values for multiple subs using MSO are way over my head.
What are you feeding the Vibelink with?
