Just want more bass for Bose

sparky · 12-27-2012, 07:53 PM

I emailed Dan today at AC and he told me to just parallel the sub output into the left and right LC2i inputs. I forgot to ask him about any internal jumpers or anything. Don't see why that would be necessary as there is nothing to sum, it's the same signal. Am I missing something here? Here is his comments:

Thank you for your question and interest in AudioControl. Where to tap in will depend on whether you have full range and how you want fade to affect your subwoofer. The LC2i does not require full range signal, it is an active line output converter and what goes in comes out. As far as using one pair from your sub output, that is fine. If your amp requires 2 channels at the input, you could y out either at the speaker level output from your amp or at the RCA output from the LC2i. If you can run fully mono, then just stick with the left side on the LC2i, which is where the GTO Signal Sense lives.

Mr Sparky:

Could you explain why you would need to connect to both left & right inputs on the LC2i? Your running a mono amp, so wouldn't all you need to do is connect to the left side of the LC2i? Am I missing something in the above description

I guess if your amp has a left and right input then to get a left and right output of the LC2i you have to feed it a left and right signal. As the bose sub only has a mono feed then bridging it to both is how this is achieved. It was just a question I asked and that was his answer so I went with it! Obviously your feeding both channels with the same signal and it gets summed in the amp but my amp manual said it would have low output if you didn't feed both left and right inputs.That's why I asked him how to do this and his answer is above, so I went with it. Hope that makes sense!

Matt will probably jump in here at some point and correct me I'm sure.
Edit: His comment above should read" you could y out either at the speaker level output from your BOSE amp or at the ..................
