so my 300watt bookshelf RCA 5 disc rs2654 stereo subwoofer took a crap.
The thing is...my left sub is rattling
Used to hit pretty hard too...but now that one just rattles. bleh
Now I'm talking home audio and the back of the speakers say 6ohms 100watts.
Now a friend gave me a 200watt 8ohm subwoofer to try and replace the two woofers.
the outlets are like this
s=sub h=high/mid speaker connectors
-S-S--H--H
[+][+][+][+]
[-][-][-][-]
I'll emit the last four []'s as they aren't for the subs
First I connect both (+)'s to one wire...so the speakers one pos is connect to both of the stereo's (+) connectors
|------|-------(+)
[(+)][(+)]
[(-)][(-)]
|------|-------(-)
where |---|--- is my two to one wire connector.
I figured maybe this was increasing the resistance?...
just a guess...since the bass cut out so badly.
so I "bridged" next.
what i did was connect X to X
[X][+]
[-][X]
Well now it hits, doesn't seem to hit as hard as the original two speakers...but it works pretty good.
I stopped there ... I really don't understand what exactly I'm doing...could I get a little help?
Was the first putting them in series, and the second putting them in parallel?
the subs are 6ohm 100watts each and the satellite speakers are 8ohm 50watts apiece ... 300watts total.
So what is really happening when I connect my 200watt 8ohm speaker those two ways? I'm trying to draw it on paper but it's just not coming to me. Any help is appreicated
