HIGH LEVEL TO LOW LEVEL CONNECTING

[WJGJ]

HELLO FOLKS,

PLEASE EXCUSE THE ALL CAPS , I HAVE POOR EYESIGHT

MY INTENTION IS TO CONNECT 2 SUBWOOFERS TO (1) 300B TUBE INTEGRATED AMP

COMPONENTS INVOLVED

WILLSENTON R300 PLUS SET CLASS A INTEGRATED AMP 8W+8W OUTPUT WATTAGE WITH 4-8-16 OHM SPEAKER TAPS

SUBWOOFER #1
KLIPSCH SPL-120
WITH LOW LEVEL INPUT ONLY
INPUT VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT UNKNOWN

SUBWOOFER #2
POLK HTS-12
WITH LOW LEVEL INPUT ONLY
INPUT VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT IS 12 VOLTS

MY INTENTION IS TO USE 2 HIGH LEVEL TO LOW LEVEL CONVERTER(S) TO DO THIS

BUT MAYBE A GOOD CONVERTER WOULD HANDLE BOTH CHANNELS

I WOULD CONNECT A CONVERTER TO BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKER TAPS

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH TAP TO CONNECT TO (4 OR 8 OR 16 OHM)

FURTHERMOR I HOPE TO CONNECT ONLY 1 INTERCONNECT (NOT A PAIR) TO EACH SUB

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS

BUT I'M OPEN TO CONNECTING 2 INTERCONNECTS TO EACH SUB IF REQUIRED

I GUESS THAT WOULD REQUIRE A SPLITTER FOR EACH CHANNEL

My FRIEND THINKS THAT BECAUSE MY AMP IS 8W-8W OUTPUT I COULD JUST CONNECT INTERCONNECTS DIRECTLY FROM THE SPEAKER TAPS TO THE SUB RCA INPUT(S)

AGAIN MAYBE USING SPLITTERS IF 2 INTERCONNECTS ARE REQUIRED

HOPEFULLY THERE'S A WAY TO ACCOMPISH THIS

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE

Your problem is that you have a totally unsuitable amp for what you are trying to do. Just put those amps up for sale and start again.

Much better tools for the job out there than those amps. I seriously doubt the Polk HTS needs 12V. Most plate amp subs are quite happy with 1V or even less on the low level inputs.
