I've ordered a T-Amp to play around with and was thinking of pairing it with an old subwoofer I had. I have a Polk Audio subwoofer from a HTIB kit that was replaced with a more robust sub.
This sub has High Level inputs that you connect to the speaker outputs of your reciever/amplifier and High Level outputs that you then connect your front speakers to. You then set your surround amplifier 'front speakers' settings to 'Large' to send low frequencies to the sub and the sub sends the higher frequencies to the front speakers while the sub outputs the lower frequencies. The explanation for this (in the Polk manual) is that the subwoofer is better able to manage low frequencies than the reciever/amplifier.
Now, does anyone know if this configuration Soundcard =IC=> T-amp =High-Level Inputs=> Polk Subwoofer =High-Level Outputs=> Bookshelf Speakers would work and provide low frequencies to the sub and high frequencies to the bookshelfs?
This would be a cheap way form me to have a good 2.1 speaker setup, if the T-Amp outputs the low frequencies the sub needs. Otherwise, I'll have to buy a pre-amp with Line-In and Line-Out capability ($100). Thanks for any input.
