Stereo 3-way bookshelf speakers + subwoofer?

[blackfalconwing]

I recently purchased two 3-way bookshelf speakers and a 10 in subwoofer (inside enclosure) from the thrift store. The subwoofer has a speaker wire in (L/R Pos/Neg), i assume that is for an amplifier, and speaker wire out (L/R Pos/Neg), I assume for two sattelites. Could I attach my two 3-way bookshelf speakers to the subwoofer outputs and have it work properly? (btw, the bookshelf speakers are 6ohms, and the sub is 8ohms).

Yes, if driven by a receiver or amp. That's a high level or speaker level crossover.

Good luck

high level or speaker level crossover? not sure what you mean

High level = speaker level.

These terms refer to the fact that the output of an amp can easily exceed 2 volts, while low level signals usually max at 2 volts. Low level is also called line level and is what the output of a DVD player has.
