Alumni 9 subwoofer not working properly?

naudiz · 11 Jan 2009 at 13:10

Hi there, I've just hooked up my new alumni 9 sub to my current set up, which is an azur 340a amp and a pair of mordaunt short 902i's. I'm running the speaker cable from the amp to the sub, then out to the speakers as my amp doesn't have a pre out or anything like that.

However I get no output from the sub at all unless the volume, frequency and phase are all turned up as far as they go, help :confused:

Weirdly if I change the balance to one speaker entirely I get a decent sound from the sub

Sorry you'll have to treat me like a bit of a n00b, you mean are the wires positive and negative the right ways?

Doesn't look like it has anything like that, hmmm

Having looked around a bit, am I expecting too much from the high level inputs? I hooked it up to the system downstairs that has got a pre out and it worked beautifully, what am I doing wrong? lol

Nevermind I sorted it, one of the speaker cables was the wrong way round after all that
