Using a single sub

[HTG Events]

I'd appreciate some advice - have seen quite a few people talking about using a single sub with a pair of full range speakers - how do you connect these together? For info I'm thinking of connecting a single passive sub to a pair of passive Mackie c300zs...

:thanks:

Probably lots of different ways but 2 that spring to mind , active cross over with mono sub out or use 2 amps and bridge the one feeding the sub.

I think you would need two amps, OR buy an amp which has 3 outputs (1 designed for a sub) :)

Better ask Dragonfly --he has Mackies that run with a single sub--I think.

You are running passive so you have a few options.

Either run an amp which will take an input from a crossover that will give you the two outputs or buy a second amp and a crossover.


Alternatively do what we did and go active.

Gnash - please read the forum rules about selling and advertising. Ta!

I've amended your last post as it breached the rules. Feel free to advertise anything you have for sale on DJ Bids though! :D

why not just buy an active mackie sub ?

Mackie sub is the way to go. Designed specially for this , two inputs on the back for signal left and right that drive the bass unit and two hi-pass or full range outputs to go to your active speakers or to an amp driving passive ones.
