Feeding SVS sub higher frequencies (above 200Hz)...?


Hi all,

I was wondering what would happen if a frequency higher than 200Hz was fed into an SVS sub via the RCA input? When hooking up the analogs from an HD-DVD player to my amp, I accidentally reversed the center and sub cables. As a result, the center channel information was sent to the sub and vice versa. It was only driven this way for a couple of minutes before I realized something was seriously wrong. I then tested the channels with the DVE test tones (pink noise, well below reference), and found my mistake. My question is, could I have damaged the sub in any way (and also the center channel by sending it the LFE info)? Thanx!


Peace... Vader

One sub to rumble them all. One sub to shake them. One sub to humble them all. And in the darkness break them.
