How would I use my 2 Crown amplifiers together?

[Aaron Bilger]

Hi so I been trying to figure out how would I connect my 2 crown amplifiers plus my subwoofer amplifier which is from Dayton Audio it is the Dayton Audio SA1000 Subwoofer Amplifier Rack Mountable? And so it would be getting connected to my computer which yes it does have a sound card that I installed 1 year ago sounds great but the reason why i'm doing this so I can stop the issues with using a home theater receiver it's just too much pain the butt for connecting this pro audio stuff to.

Nowhere near enough information on what you want to do.

Take a look at a thread I put together about avoiding receivers.

Well this is just a stereo sound but i'm only using my receiver as a preamp and it's only because of a subwoofer i have and i'm always upgrading but the receiver is just causing too many issues with using pro audio amplifiers. ok and another reason is i have some kind of weird noise that i hear when playing music and it comes from the left side i've done a lot of testing and connecting things around and it's the receiver making the tweeters sound bad and it's not the speakers. i've pulled out another receiver and it does the exact same thing i've even connected my phone to the audio and it does the same thing so it is lead it to the receiver why because i've tested the amplifier itself and it does not do this weird crackling sound on the left side of the speakers for the tweeters. i've done testing wth all music that is out there that I like which is a ton and they all do it i've pulled out different speakers and get the same thing so it's the receiver now i'm really not sure how or why but it's always been a problematic kinda thing i think the sound is much more clear and better sounding without the receiver it's not no high end one either it is only 17 years old and very warn out and the same thing with with the other receiver. the way i been thinking would be a much better choice.

That rambling post does not help at all. I have no idea of your equipment and its inter connectivity.

It is pretty much impossible to help posters like you.

I use a Yamaha rx v1000 and my amplifiers, Crown XLi 2500 and crown xli 800 and my computer with a sound card, sound blaster Z

This is terribly confusing, but it seems that the common element is the speakers, not the front end components. You sure you haven't fried a tweet flogging your speakers with pro amps?

I really can't help you a lot, as the specs on that sound card are minimal. It says it has speaker outs, but I suspect they are line outs. I don't know. No output impedance or voltage is specified.

In general if you use the DAC on sound card you get into no end of trouble.

If you are going to forgo a receiver, I would get a preamp with XLR outs and a good DAC and use the optical out from the sound blaster. I would get an electronic crossover and connect one Crown to the main speakers and the other to the sub. You gave no details of the sub, but I assumed it is an unpowered passive sub.

You really need to do better on these forums. You did not give a full equipment list. You gave no details of your speaker system

It is also polite to give hyper links to the equipment you list so we do not have to do a search. None of us know the details of every item of equipment made.

If you are going to ask for help, then you need to do a lot better. It seems to me you are not cut out to own any type of sophisticated audio gear and especially not high powered pro amps, which it seems to me you are likely to cause havoc with.

No they work perfect and sound perfect when I take the amplifier and connect it directly to my computer and then the speakers are connected to the amplifier no problems I am really believing that it is the receiver I had just done a quick test with my pa speakers that I hardly ever use to be sure it's the receiver and it is the receiver is making the left tweeters sound like crap. Now the pa speakers are normally not used in this system but I had to be sure since they are like new pa speakers my other speakers that I used in this system are my high end audiophile speakers $$ but I tested everything it's got to be the receiver. When i take it out of the system everything sounds much better no problems when it's removed.
