Hi.
I recently picked up a Klipsch subwoofer to add onto my vintage stereo system. My configuration is as follows: Yamaha CX-830 Pre-Amp > ADC SS-315 Equalizer > Phase Linear 300 Amp. I currently have the subwoofer's input connected between the Pre-Amp's Pre-Out and the Equalizer's Pre-In using a Y-cable on the LEFT channel only.
My issue is that the Klipsch Sub (Klipsch R-120SWi) uses a Klipsch provided wireless module. This module connects via a single RCA jack (either full range mono or LFE). I would like to send both Left and Right signals to the Sub. I like picking up the signal before the Equalizer and adjusting the sound at the Sub.
I am concerned that if I use a simple Y cable to bridge the left and right channels between the Pre-Amp and Equalizer, I will effectively make all signals mono. I've been doing some research and stumbled upon a summing cable/circuit that uses 1K resistors like in this image found on the Parts Express Forum. Also, Paul from PSAudio talks about this on YouTube but suggests 10K resistors.
My question: Should I use a stereo to mono summing cable/circuit between the pre-amp and equalizer to obtain the mono signal to send to the subwoofer? Or, is there a better way to do this that I haven't thought of?
If it helps, here are HiFi Engine links to the components involved:
Yamaha CX-830 Pre-Amp
ADC SS-315 Equalizer
Phase Linear 300 Series Two Amp
Thanks
Ron
