Do connect SPEAKER OUT or LINE OUT of the amp to this selector?

If you have a AV Receiver Sony, Yamaha or Pioneer yo need to connect it LINE OUT.

Definitely the line out, the impedance of the amp imput will match better and you'll skip the headphone output circuitry. All portable amps have their own volume control, plus it's why people buy separate iPod dock cables to access the line out for their amp. With the x3 you don't need to do that as they provide a separate LO jack.

No, there's no line out--but there is a 1/8th inch stereo female out that you can plug headphones into. You can, of course, adapt that headphone jack to work for you as a line out. Another interesting option would be to open the back (held on with Velcro) and connect a *mono post-amp lineout adaptor* to the positive and negative speaker terminals. That way, you'd get exactly what you're hearing out of the speaker to go onward to you board/PA. That *item*, though, is a bit of a specialist piece--a post-amp D.I. box basically. I happen to know how to make them from scratch.

I asked Energy customer service about this. They said connect to the LEFT input of the sub only. They were very adamant that it would not degrade the sound. They explained that the Left/Right inputs are there for some (older?) receivers that have split Left/Right outputs for the subwoofer. I was going to by a Y adapter, but they convinced me there was absolutely no need.

There is an in and out. Just gotta connect the speakers to the crossover and use your existing stock speaker wires to the crossover.

The JBL Charge Bluetooth speaker does NOT have a line out. It does have a line in for audio devices that don't have bluetooth but no line out. Personally I've never found a need to have it's audio go to something else. If I wanted that I would just bypass the JBL and go directly to the desired output. ...I can't be used to drive any other speakers if that's what you're asking.

Additionally, another post said you can't connect to your amp directly via speaker wire output but that is false. You safely can (I do) and the owners manual also supports this.

Does the amp have a pre-out or LFE output? this sub does not have a speaker level input

All this is is a speaker selector -- you still need an amp to make this work. So if you have a bunch of speakers, this will sit between the amp and the speakers. My house came prewired with speakers all over it, so that's why I bought this -- to select which room music would play in.

I use the closed screw type on the amplifier end as it makes for a clean connection. Utilizing open type at the amp end will cause the lower row of speaker connections to get in the way of the upper connections (I use large diameter speaker cable). Conversely, at the speaker end, I use the open screw type which (since the cable connects in perpendicular to the plug) allows me to immediately direct the cable to the floor, keeping it hidden, and also reduces the strain on the connection points.

What matters is the impedance. Most Amps are 8 ohm as are speakers. When you hook multiple speakers in parallel the impedance goes down. The selector ensures that the impedance is at least 4 ohms even when as many as eight speakers are hooked in parallel (and would otherwise present 1 ohm of impedance). On my Yamaha receiver there is a switch that allows for a 4 ohm load and that is the key. You can probably run a 4 ohm load from an 8 ohm driver, it just means that more energy is dissipated in the amp than in the speakers but hopefully not so much as to do damage

Of course speakers can be switched out. You have to bear in mind that the speakers coming with this have the spring clip type of wire input, common with small systems, as opposed to the bigger binding post type of input for wire used on most separate hifi speakers and units. As for choice of other speaker, most will have impedance matches that make them broadly compatible with a range of systems so it really depends on what you want to do as to whether or not it makes sense. You may want to consider things such as the power output from amplifier, speaker driving requirements etc and then listen to a combination to see if it makes sense.

I ran a wire from my led switch to the amp that way the amp is only on when my lights are; The lights are a good reminder to shut it off. I'm not sure if the was a light or not on the amp but i know it still pulled power when speakers were "off"

Your subwoofer out probably needs to go out to the amp. At the subwoofer out from the amp, is where you can split the signal and send it to both subs. That's what I would do.

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

Well it's got a line out but they're the little kind -- one red, one white, like the kind you see on the back of an old TV. Don't know what they're called -- AV out? The manual is not helpful on this -- just says how to turn off the speakers when you line out. If I were you I would for sure call or email Boss / Roland & explain what your set-up is before buying this, it's too expensive to get if it doesn't do what you want it too. I just turn it on and plug my guitar into my amp and let them run at the same time. It does not support standard guitar/amp cables. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Ok I'm going to try and keep it simple. Normally, once the amp is connected the 'sound' travels out of the red/white or left/right speaker connectors that are attached then to the speaker system. In your case, think of the speaker box as a 'conjunction' (like the words 'and/ but' in a sentence)..so just connect the 'speaker out' on your amp to the 'speaker in' on the speaker selector box...then connect the speaker box to the 6 speakers...be ready with a small flat head screw driver to open each the speaker connection ports...it's a bit more tedious but assures a professional non clip in/out connection...good luck...and make sure every thing is off to avoid 'blowing out' of the speakers and/or unit.
