I've used SVS SB-2000 Pro before. Quite good option as for me.
That's a terrific sub (I have the SB-1000 and like it alot). Re your question, it's very unlikely you could connect 2 completely separate sources (PC vs AVR) to any sub w/o blowing it up, if not both sources also.
The only way I can think of to do that is via:
- A passive switch box (such as Schitt Sys) which allows you to select which one of two inputs can send signal downstream
- With the output of the passive switch (RCA L/R) going to the sub's line level input
Note you'd have to carefully volume match each source so you don't inadvertently blow up the sub by switching from a low volume source to a high volume source. This gets confusing, because each source (PC sound card & AVR) may have or not have discreet volume control.
This is all speculative on my part, just informed guesswork.
- If sources both had volume control, you'd want to be sure to turn down the volume on the source you're about to switch to, so no sonic surprises.
- The Sys has its own volume control--so you could turns its volume control down before switching.

Thanks, I don't need to connect to both sources (PC, AVR) at the same time, if it involves a complicated setup. I can just connect one or the other as I want.
What do I need to do to connect my PC, the sub, and my Airmotiv 6s powered monitors together? Do I use both the sub out, and the line out, on my sound card? Or do I just use one?
