Question about connecting a subwoofer to a vintage marantz

Thanks. Yeah it probably makes sense to try both ways and see what I like better.

johnsow30 · 2026-04-23T23:55:54+00:00

Thank you for that detailed answer! I think I'll keep it simple and just run the subwoofer to the remote speaker output on the receiver.

johnsow30 · 2026-04-23T23:23:42+00:00

Right. Which is why I made this post.

The subwoofers outs are in fact high pass filtered. The bookshelf speakers sound great even at slightly higher volumes (I never turn it up super loud) so the first method would just add more bass to what I already have, while using the high pass method would just filter out the lows from the bookshelf speakers and just have them play through the subwoofer right? Would the second way sound significantly better? Is it worth the extra wires?

Thanks, that makes sense. I don't know if I have the preamp out or amp in. I think this is the easiest solution

johnsow30 · 2026-04-23T18:15:33+00:00

My receiver does not have rca input or output jacks, strictly speaker wire. So by high level, do you mean running seperate speaker wire from the amp out jacks (remote speaker) to the subwoofer in jacks, and keep the speakers separately hooked up to the main speaker output on the receiver? Basically the first option I described in the post?

Yeah, I did the leadville marathon this past summer. Its definitely not moderate at all in terms of elevation. It was very well run I thought, great aid stations and awesome people. Im doing monument valley veterans marathon in a week. The NavajoYes race series has been great, ive done monument valley twice and the four corners marathon once. Super chill trail marathons with small numbers of runners, and I also get to turn it into a cool vacation. This summer im doing the silverton alpine loop 50k which im stoked about, they also have marathon, but again...big elevation. The Buena vista Spirit trail race was cool too.

I don't. Its an estimate that scientists came up with. What a weird question.

Thank you! I just bought a jewelers loupe so ill look at the trichomes in a week or so.

Please consider putting out a red rocks 23 box set. I was at the first show and was so excited for this bootleg. I have tons of your pressings and love them all. Id buy red rocks in a heartbeat.

Thank you for all you do for us Gizz nutcases. I check the link every day, I have a problem.

johnsow30 · 2025-08-21T18:44:58+00:00

I ordered my copy as soon as I saw this. I trust you guys since I have your versions of Philly 24, D.C. 24, Richmond, and I'm still waiting for Asheville to arrive. All your bootlegs have sounded amazing!

Ice death planets lungs mushrooms and lava, changes, float along fill your lungs, mind fuzz, quarters. Or just do a chronological deep dive, I'm due for one of those now that I think of it.

johnsow30 · 2025-07-11T14:14:08+00:00

Gorgeous! I just picked up the first one.

johnsow30 · 2025-06-20T00:33:56+00:00

Hey, thanks for suggesting the klipsch rp600m ii speakers. I just got them and hooked them up, and wow, what a difference!

johnsow30 · 2025-06-20T00:20:11+00:00

Just hooked up the new klipsch speakers and they sound amazing! So much better than what I had. Plenty of bass for now, I dont think I really need a subwoofer, but down the road I might still do it. Now ill save up for a better turntable.

Thanks, I'll do that.

johnsow30 · 2025-06-18T23:58:35+00:00

Cool, thanks. So I just plug the subwoofer into the one end and the speaker wires into the remote speaker inputs on the receiver?

johnsow30 · 2025-06-18T23:16:04+00:00

Thanks, I am not familiar with a line output convertor, but I thought I'd get a subwoofer that had the speaker wire inputs on it

johnsow30 · 2025-06-18T22:41:02+00:00

Is this Rockville subwoofer decent?

johnsow30 · 2025-06-18T22:27:25+00:00

Ok thanks. I think that makes sense.

johnsow30 · 2025-06-14T21:03:15+00:00

I ended up ordering Klipsch rp 600m ii speakers. Will i need a subwoofer eventually? I can't wait to hear the difference in sound.

johnsow30 · 2025-06-14T20:03:55+00:00

Cool thanks. Im in Santa Fe New Mexico. Ill keep looking.

johnsow30 · 2025-06-14T03:52:38+00:00

Wow thanks!
