sharing subs: impossible?

[ratso]

with my setup? i think so, but maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out (don't say it, i know...). i have a 2 channel system with a tube preamp that has a HT bypass. i use the bypass to "share" my main speakers with my HT 7.2 system. i was wondering if there is any way to also "share" my 2 axiom EP500 subs between the 2 channel system and the HT sytem. the subs are controlled by an SVS AS-EQ1.

I tried to find a commercial unit, but they all seem to have miserable slider switches. Those are hopeless as audio switches.

A rotary switch line this is what you need.


It has four more positions than you need but it will do the job.
You would need some RCA sockets and a case and then build it up. A very simple project.

Yes possible. I am sharing 2 subs with my Pioneer Elite Display and Pre/pro. I bought this at Radioshack a few years back. It has 4 (Stereo inputs) and 1(Stereo output). I'll take some pictures later. I do run 2 subs which I run daisey chained. Unit works great. If I watch TV without turning on the main system I just switch the subs on and it sounds good, just the tv speakers and the subs.

Just snapped a quick picture.
