Quick x-fi question....

xsnv · 28 Sep 2006 at 13:05

Hey guys (and gals),

Is it possible to connect stereo speakers (via an amp) and a sub to an x-fi? I've currently got the sub leeching its bass from the hi freq line to my speakers and wondered if i could bypass this by connecting the sub directly to the x-fi.

Thanks

You might be able to - but try connecting all three via the amp. I have a 2.1 stereo set up using the amp, it helps the x-fi with power requirements if you know what I mean.

Hmm...so the x-fi might not have enough juice for the sub? I thought they came with internal amps (mine is an extax atomic 10)...

They do - and they're powered seperatly as well, but an amp most always help. It depends on how much power is required from your speakers. Mine are 135W @ 4ohms.

ok...thanks. I havn't got a dedicated sub out on my amp though and don't think leeching of the amps hi freq is the best way to go. I'll have a read around i guess.

thanks for the help.
