IDA-6-How do I connect a sub?
« on: 5 Dec 2022, 12:20 am »
No sub out so I'm not sure if it is even possible.

Thanks for any and all help,

Can you run the speaker wires to the sub abd then continue to the speakers? [Not every sub's amp plate has this capability.]

No sir. No required inputs. I looked at the manual, the unit, the sub and I just did not see a way to hook one up. Members are always finding work arounds for things, I was hoping for one of those. It just may not be possible.

Thanks for the effort,
JCarney

Giving more info is always best when asking questions like this.
What subwoofer?

Speaker to line level converters are an option if the sub has L and R rca inputs.

The sub is the dirt cheap Jamo S808. It literally only has a single ended line in, no L and R. Not one of my best purchases, other then I payed around $80 for it new.

Thank You for the good question,

I've glanced at both the Jamo sub's plate and the rear panel of the IDA-6, and it appears to me that they are incompatible.  :scratch:

Get another one, then you will have a L and R input.

That is my assessment as well.

Good idea, unfortunately not practical, and I don't think I can find one at $80ish again. I'm not going to sweat it. Hooking it up was a want more than a need. Thank You both for helping me get to that conclusion.
