- Well, assuming the low frequencies from both channels are crossed over
- (filtered out of the signal) before you hit the power amp of your stereo
- system, then you could just tie them together. Then send that one signal
- to a bass power amp and then to your 'bass speaker'.
-
- But I have to wonder what all of those Beatles albums will sound like.
- Alot of them have the bass only in one of the two speakers - and I like
- it that way.
