(note: This is the old plan but contains elements that will be used in the new plan)
Hi, I want to add on another subwoofer to my home system which attaches to my computer. Right now I have a 10" rockford fosgate sub hooked up to the z-560 amplifier which supplies 188 watts to the sub. I'm thinking about getting this amplifier: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3073616887&category=14973 and hook it up to some 500 rms 1000 peak sub which, i havent decided which.
the connections: the amplifier uses standard speaker wire to connect to the subwoofer on both ends i believe. I plan to split the wire by cutting a standard rca and hooking the raw end to the amplifier, and then hook a 2 rca splitter to the rca end, then one split of it will be raw speaker wire to the subwoofer, and the other split will be either speaker wire or rca depending on what the new amp likes.
my questions are:
1. will things work, also as in will my old amp working as a preamp (i think, right?) make everything work and not screw up.
2. will it be a good setup
3. recommendations for anything including subwoofer, wiring, or any changes.
Thanks
