adding a power amp to receiver

jake_angel · 03-12-2003, 09:59 PM

how do i go about hooking up a separate power amp to my receiver that does have pre outs ?

my system is : receiver = Carver c-1000a
power amp = Carver M-1.5t
main speakers = RTI 150's
center = CSI 140
sub = PSB subsonic 5

the reason for adding the amp is the rti 150's need the power that the receiver cant dish out without getting very hot + shutting down

1. Run a pair of interconnects from the main pre-outs (front L,R) to the 1.5.

2. Disconnect the main speakers from the 1000.

3. Connect the main speakers to the 1.5, done.

Cheers,
Russ

No, if the 1000 has pre-outs, it IS your preamp.
