Re: Plate Amplifier Load...

say I were to take an unpowered 4 ohm subwoofer, and a powered subwoofer and were to attach them in parallel to the output of an amplifier what would the load look like to my amplifier?
The showstopper isn't the load, it's the level. A standard line-level input to a powered sub expects just that - line level.

This is why some subs have two seperate inputs provided. High level and line level. The high level input has an attenuator ~20-30dB built in....
