I know this gets asked often...but here am I again.
I have an old stereo receiver with no subwoofer outputs. The subwoofer will connect as per instructions to the B speakers of the receiver, but the unit is so old I cannot play both A and B together..that is how JVC made it.
The subwoofer is a small Jamo unit which says 200. It has both speaker and regular inputs. The data sheet says 22 ohms.
Now I am familiar enough with wiring to know how to wire the speakers plus subwoofer in series parallel so that each is at 16 ohms. Any problems foreseen. Actually I don't care if I blow up the receiver, ...just don't want to damage the speakers or subwoofer.
Thanks for any ideas.
aha... a little wrinkle...the specs for the sub show 22 ohm impedance. so parallel series on a normal set up would be 44 ohms....but in a subwoofer, am I thnking right? Perhaps when using the speaker wire inputs the unit treats the signal as an unprocessed preamp signal and then boosts it with the internal amp?
See....a little learning is a dangerous thing, eh?
