Rocket ULF 10 setup to Old Stereo Amp

[harleyboy]

I know this must have been covered - but I could not locate an answer. I have an old Setton integtaed amp - it does not have a Sub-Out nor a Pre-Out - it does have A and B speaker out. I have another Marantz amp with the same set-up but it has a "processor In - Out L/R' that are looped off.

The sub has a single RCA in and LFE (L/R) speaker in and out.

Any help wuld be greatly appreciated

What is a ULF? Is that different from the UFW or ULW? It isn't clear from what you are saying, does this sub have speaker level input (speaker wire)? The UFW and ULW do not.

Since you don't have line level outputs on your amp, your options are limited.

Run a speaker cable to the speaker inputs on the sub. You can connect it to the same speaker terminals on your amp as your main speakers. This way the bass will go to both your sub and your main speakers.

An alternative method is to disconnect your main speakers from the amp and connect them to the speaker outputs on the subwoofer. The sub should remove all bass going to your mains and it may clean up the sound a little.

Having done it in the past when my receiver pre out went dead, I suggest that you run the speaker wires that you would ordinarily connect to your speakers instead connect to the sub woofer and from the sub woofer to the speakers. I could not tell the difference in sound this way versus the sub pre out. You will need to adjust the crossover on sub. I suggest you start at 80Hz. Now that I thing about it I am 99% sure this is covered the in the manual. Start there.
