Good, not in a car.
B switch is something from the old days.
The caps and coils you need are linked to in post 16. Parts Express is only 5 states away from you.
Most important is the question about operating your source.

Yes, I want to know how you plan to run two amplifiers from one source without a pre-amp.

You have a source, let's call it a CD player. How does it get to two different amplifiers. ie: one for the main speakers and one for the woofer you have. It has to be split somehow. If you use a Y adapter then, if you don't have a pre-amp, you will have to adjust the volume of the woofer and main speaker separately. What amps do you have?

i only have 1 amp Cal

Cal Weldon · 9th July 2011, 01:48 AM

OK, I am busy for the rest of the evening so I can't help anymore. Maybe tomorrow.

Cal Weldon · 9th July 2011, 02:46 PM

It will be hard without a second amp. The DVC are 4 ohms each so unless your amp can take that low of a load combined with your main speakers you will probably have to get a plate amp to do this.

i see i need a preamp?

Cal Weldon · 9th July 2011, 07:04 PM

I was out playing tennis.

If your amp/receiver has a subwoofer RCA out then you need a plate amp. Show us a picture of the back.
