I have marantz speakers that use single wire pair then split the signal to subwoofers, mid range speakers and tweeters. Will this work?

Someone else set my system up so I don't know how it was set up and don't know whether it's the same as this. Sorry! However, from the other answers, it appears it'll work..........

yes it will work, but you will not get the full effect of the sub. the concern should be with the amp's ohms that is being pushed threw the crossover. speakers only use what they are given. you will know it is working when the sound is clear. be sure that you have your polarities correct. at low volume it will sound clear and powerful, at higher volume keep it in the range where it sound clear,( this will keep it safe) . because it is clear it may be louder than you think. ...PS. if you want good compression have a shallow box for the woof, and for low resenence base have a deep box. i recommend having both for full effect, and use pine for the boxes yes it will work, but you will not get the full effect of the sub. the concern should be with the amp's ohms that is being pushed threw the crossover. speakers only use what they are given. you will know it is working when the sound is clear. be sure that you have your polarities correct. at low volume it will sound clear and powerful, at higher volume keep it in the range where it sound clear,( this will keep it safe) . because it is clear it may be louder than you think. ...PS. if you want good compression have a shallow box for the woof, and for low resenence base have a deep box. i... » Read More yes it will work, but you will not get the full effect of the sub. the concern should be with the amp's ohms that is being pushed threw the crossover. speakers only use what they are given. you will know it is working when the sound is clear. be sure that you have your polarities correct. at low volume it will sound clear and powerful, at higher volume keep it in the range where it sound clear,( this will keep it safe) . because it is clear it may be louder than you think. ...PS. if you want good compression have a shallow box for the woof, and for low resenence base have a deep box. i recommend having both for full effect, and use pine for the boxes « Show Less

I'm assuming you mean that you want to use this cable to chain two amplified speakers together. If that's not correct, please clarify and I'll alter my response. But, in my opinion, I'm not sure if this configuration will work. I would assume that your speakers have a female XLR for the input. Due to that fact, I'm not sure if this would work if you were attempting to daisy chain the speakers in line. However, if you were trying to run two separate lines from a single output of a soundboard (assuming it was a mono output or you are running two left or right channel speakers for some reason), this should work. The point being, the input signal into this cable should be the female end, and the output signal should be coming out of the two male ends.

My speakers have the near same 87dB, 8 Ohm, with 16G wire to them with 25 foot of wire so I hooked them together and ran it to one speaker and it sounded just the same. I think 16G wire will be just fine for your situation.

You have to use this to split the signal first then to the amps and speakers. Do not use this to cross over after Amps.

I am using for mono application only but if the signal has not already been split by the processor to the speaker then I would say no.

I don't know the answer for that. You need to check on your receiver or pre-amp's manual, but if you want to use only one sub-woofer than you don't need this kind of cable, what you need is a straight forward cable. I don't think your receiver is designed for doing that. I have two sub outs on my receiver for the purpose to use two separate sub-woofer so you can put one on each side of the room or one in the front one in the back at your surround speakers. I don't recommend you to do that, you should never mix signals. This cable is designed for if you have a sub and does not have a LFE input but has inputs for left and right than you connect the double Y part to the sub and the single end to your pre-out. Also you can contact with Mediabridge they have excellent technical support. Good luck and don't do it!!!

Sure. That should work ok. Wire your 4 ohm speakers in pairs in parallel and terminate on each of the 2 inputs. The switch has impedance matching settings as you increase the number of speakers. Terminating more than 4 wires will be the challenge under the terminals. Oh by the way. This switch was under $30 just 2 months ago, not $47 today.

No crossover is needed. Just wire together per instructions and you'll be fine. Fyi the small tweeter is loud.

Yes. I'm currently using t to power two outdoor mid size marine speakers and it is more than adequate. As to the wire gauge and length it seems marginal. A step up in wire size would be my choice. I'm far from an expert on speaker wire however the length seems to be considerable. good luck.

I don't see why not? you will just have to splice the wire to the speakers since it has it's ownconnection. only thing though is if the surround would be able to drive your new speaker?ig: enough power or same impedance or not, you should find out first cause I don't know if that is relevant or not.....hope this helps......

Absolutely yes! I did the same thing with my output of my theater receiver and the bass sounds much better running 2 subs. This particular splitter is great quality and very durable.

No, you should buy this. You have a mono RCA out on the receiver, I'm assuming. Running a mono RCA cable to either the "L" or "R" will result in you not getting full range of sound from your subwoofer. Connecting the mono cable to this splitter will allow the subwoofer to produce the full range of sound from whatever source ou are using.

There is only two outputs for speakers. If you used a sub-woofer, then that would have to be one of the output speakers and would have to be self-powered. You could split the speakers but then you would lose your impedance and sound quality would probably suffer. This is a very basic, portable system that is designed to be totally self-contained. Hope this helps!

Yes you can do this. You would connect the pre-out jacks of the Marantz to the inputs of the amplifier using RCA connectors. Be careful when buying the amplifier as they can have a different number of pre-outs. For example, for my set-up I only wanted to power a single pair of main speakers, so I bought an amplifier with two input jacks - one for the left speaker and one for the right speaker. If you plan on using your amplifier to power not only your main pair of speakers, but also surround speakers, height speakers, width speakers, etc., then you will have to buy an amplifier with enough input jacks to handle all of the speakers you want to power. My amplifier is a Motiva -2 which means it has two input jacks to power two speakers (a pair of main speakers). Motiva also sells Motiva - 3 to power a pair of main speakers and a center speaker, Motiva- 4 to power a pair of main speakers and a pair of surround speakers, etc. Good luck, it is not really hard to connect your Marantz to an amplifier if you just read the documentation - John in Las Vegas.

Depends on the watts of your subwoofer. If it's less than 200w, it should work perfectly

The only way this might work is to run the line to the passive sub into one of the speaker level inputs. Do not run the other speakers through the sub; the bass is already routed to the passive sub in your system.
