@@12chrisrob Sorry about the delayed reply, I apparently don't check my KZfaq notifications often enough. 🙂 There is definitely a sound improvement, the Dayton worked fine, but did not have as much power which I think is noticeable with sound clarity. My DTA1 also started having some issues, I think only one speaker was working. I can probably fix it if I tear it apart and take a look, but for inexpensive as it was, it really wasn't a big deal to replace it.

I buy passive subwoofers from thrift stores for $5-10. They sound great with bookshelf speakers. The extra bass punch makes a huge difference, even if the sub has only a 6" driver. I prefer 8-10" sub drivers, though. They are very common in thrift stores.

@masonwilde14643 жыл бұрын
What do you mean it needs a preamp? The volume control is the preamp. It's an integrated amplifier, not a power amp, so it will work with and adjust the amplification level of any line level source such as your phone or CD player. Vinyl is the one exception, you would need a phono preamp if your turntable does not have one built in. If you really want a preamp though, Fosi has options at fosiaudio.com/collections/preamplifier.
@boblaws75823 жыл бұрын
@@masonwilde1464 Hi Mr Wild You asked, "What do you mean it needs a preamp?". Well, I was thinking that since this amp only has one set of RCA inputs then connecting a preamp to it, that has three additional RCA input including one for a turntable, would be a good idea. So, that's what I meant by attaching a preamp.

I believe Fosi do have a pre-amp in their range. I'm not sure what market that would fit into though. This product is very good but is really aimed at Spotify/iTunes users rather than a HiFi separates setup. That said, most turntables and other playback devices send pre-amped line-out anyway. Be aware that this only has one line-in.

But i have to be able to make it so that the subwoofer under the table is high freq and thr sub low freq, but since im hooking up the bt20a to the bt30d with rca, i need to know if changing the freq options on bt30d will affect the rca output going to the bt30a aswell not just the output of the bt30d, if yes what can i do? Also im kinda new to this stuff so does changing freq change like a range? Like for example 30-60hz to 60-90hz, or does it change like 0hz-30hz, to 0-60hz, which means i could actually use it the way i intended it to by making the bt30d sub high freq going to the speaker under the table and the rca going to the bt20a which i would put a low pass on, or is there something else i could do, like for example instead of the bt20a use an actual subwoofer amp thats 300w rms, but i dont know which one, which is probably what im going to do, but i again need to know if changing the freq to higher will remove the low freqs or just allow higher freq, i could use a splitter but then chaning volume on the bt30d wont affect the sub amp, so help what do i do? Is there something you can buy like a volume/gain knob which splits the cable going into the inouts of the amps? So that way i could control both amps? If yes i might be saved.
