Hello everyone!
So I have a "home theater in a box" amp that is 5.1 surround and is only 100 watts (weak. I know. But that is all i need for my size room.) I also have an 80 watt powered sub woofer that is just laying around. I want to use this sub woofer with my amp I currently have. The problem is, the sub woofer takes a cable that looks like an RCA jack ( i forget what it is actually called.) and the amp only has a regular speaker wire set up. So I just spliced a Yellow RCA cable and hooked up the positive and negative wires and so far it works perfectly!
But I'm wondering if in the long run this is a bad idea. I mean the entire amp is only rated 100 watts and I'm plugging an 80 watt amp into it. I'm also splicing a wire. So I'm wondering, should I be worried about this set up at all? What should be changed? Thanks for any help!
