bustedassblazer Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Is there anyway to hook up a second subwoofer to a surround sound, it would be a phillips surround sound? if its an all in one home theater system then normally NO due to the fact that the internal amp usually drives the sub...if the main has an audio out then you could add a powered sub as long as hit has a low pass built in Quote 1996 S-10 Blazer Kenwood DNX-6140 (2)Kinetik HC2000 (2)US Amps MD3Dv2 US Amps MD42v2 (4)Hertz HCX-165 (front doors) (2)Hertz HL-70 (dash) (2)Hertz HT-25 (dash) (2)Hertz SX-380D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustedassblazer Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 How would i do that, just get a self powered amp and wire it to the slot the subwoofer would usually go? if i were to go that route id build an enclosure for my sub with a good flat responce that would drop to the bottom octave...then just run the speaker wires off the amp where the current sub is wired Quote 1996 S-10 Blazer Kenwood DNX-6140 (2)Kinetik HC2000 (2)US Amps MD3Dv2 US Amps MD42v2 (4)Hertz HCX-165 (front doors) (2)Hertz HL-70 (dash) (2)Hertz HT-25 (dash) (2)Hertz SX-380D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treossi Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 that's what i would do too, or build an enclosure, that houses the sub and the amp that the other enclosure has Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXACTLY...those all in one home theater setups usually dont have a protection circuit on the amp output stage..itll just blow that channel..i dont know how many guys i saw in highschool ruin equipment by just adding speakers Quote 1996 S-10 Blazer Kenwood DNX-6140 (2)Kinetik HC2000 (2)US Amps MD3Dv2 US Amps MD42v2 (4)Hertz HCX-165 (front doors) (2)Hertz HL-70 (dash) (2)Hertz HT-25 (dash) (2)Hertz SX-380D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
