Another question?
:-)
Actually, it depends on a few things. At the end of the day, you can always rig up, I mean uh... improvise, something (though it will not be a purist approach) to suit your needs -- even if it's just a simple line level or speaker level switch.
For the best response, maybe you could answer a few questions:
What type of sub do you have, powered or passive?
If it's powered, what type of inputs does it have?
If it's passive, what are you using to drive it?
I don't know how many subs are out there like this, but Krell has a nice input configuration on one of their powered subs. There are 2 low level (as well as high level) stereo inputs for music and 1 low level (as well as a high level) mono (LFE/.1) input for movies. This allows for a audio and video system to use the same sub. I believe it may also automatically select the correct input based on whether there is a signal present at that input, but I'm not positive on that aspect.

Price? Well, if you have to ask...

Go to page 21 (page 20 has reference for the numbers). It would be nice if all powered subs came with this type of input option, making integration of audio and HT systems much easier.

    Or did you figure out your audio/HT sub question?
    - no more questions....for now - dude 05:04:13 10/12/04 (0)
      maybe buy sub. maybe need processor. but tv/ht, i think needs more oomph. i have rotel rb-1070 (using arcam pre) that sounds much better for tv than arcam. maybe need lots more power and maybe don't need sub. the rotel is 130wpc. low feq is much more. so when watching tv (2 channel), so much easier. with arcam i strain to hear everyhing or need to turn volume way up and then voices and hf too forward. maybe need 200wpc or so to drive.
