I have acquired a second JBL Digital 10 sub woofer with a defective plate amp (lady seller :"It just stopped working, so I bought a new one").
I wanted a second sub as I blindly believe those who say a two sub setup is better/more balanced than one.
As I usually drive a sub via Speakers 2, to avoid the Speakers 1 signal passing through unnecessary electronics, my intention is to simply connect the second sub driver in series or parallel to the first, ie. both powered by the one working JBL plate amp.
Assuming the JBL drivers are at least 8 ohms (I won't see until I open up the cabinets, as it's not on the spec sheet), is there any preference sound wise to wire in series versus parallel ?
I am not concerned about power output as I use the sub(s) at very low, barely audible levels, just to "pressurise" the quite large room.
PS. I may use the defective plate amp as my first electronics repair project, as per my other recent thread !
