Some subs play at half volume when fed only an L or R. Haven't heard of one built like that for at least 10 years though.


Well that sounds like my JBL, 10/12 years old, so now it makes sense. I probably discovered that I needed both feeds/channels years ago and just forgot, but have always hooked it up that way.

Well my plan is to listen with just the EP500 connected to hear/feel the difference from my JBL, for long enough to get use to it, then connect the JBL also to see if I like running both.

From reading the forums here, more is better subwise, but with the EPs DSP and other qualities, my inner self says the 10+ year old JBL should degrade the sound .... but I trust the axiom users audio feng shui. So I'll give it a shot!

Even if the JBL wants both inputs, you can just run one cable to it (rather than the stereo pair) and attach a Y adapter at the sub.

The JBL will probably help you even out the response across multiple locations, but won't help you with overall loudness or depth.

HI wordgasm,

You can run the EP500, then just use the line-out jack on the EP500 with a single RCA cable to your JBL's line input, like a daisy chain. You needn't run two separate RCA cables all the way from the receiver to each subwoofer, unless it's more convenient to do that.

Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan, I don't think the EP500 has an RCA out any more, at least not if it's like the new EP800 or EP350 amps.

My replacement amp did not have a line out.
