Connections 2 tops 1 sub

[Tony Murphy]

Hi

Replaced my 2 tops and 2 subs and now just have 2 active Peavey PVXP Speakers.

I need to add an active sub to go with the tops but I want just one.

What is the best way to connect the sub as I have noticed a lot of them only have one input.

Thanks

Here's the simple ( but possibly not very helpful ) answer.
Get a reasonable quality sub, which will have two inputs ( from your mixer ) and twp high ppass outputs for your tops. It's insanely simple, you run your two mixer channels into the sub, and take an output from each side to your tops. ( If your tops are passive, you simply run both outputs back to your amp. )

For anyone with passive tops wanting to add only one sub, adding an active one like this is by far the best way.

You want examples? Here are some plucked out of the ether, I have no idea what would suit your ears, or your budget.

18". 15", or 12" should all work.
