I want to experiment with my center channel. To bore those who know and to inform those who don’t, I am running two M22’s right now for my center channel. I am going to order a VP150 and play a bit. I want to mount the VP over my screen and keep the M22’s where they are, under the screen about 24” apart. I am using a 3808 for a pre-amp and I have ten, 200W / 8 ohm channels to use. I want to power the M22’s off one channel and the VP150 off another channel. The problem is, the 3808 only has one center channel pre-out. I’ve read (don’t recall where or who) that it is not a good idea to use a Y off the pre out. I don’t know how else I can do this without using a Y.

I know that many of you will think this is a dumb idea, and it most likely is. I just want to experiment as I don’t think anyone has ever done this before… I will more than likely just end up buying a second VP150 and mount it under the screen to have one over and one under, but for now, I just want to settle my curiosity.

So….. is using a Y a bad way to do this? Is there another way to do this?
