[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1243100, member: 560358"] You have to feed your amplifier a low level signal via an RCA cable. If your boom box has no RCA input to your amplifier then you are out of luck. To listen to a driver being tested all you need is one signal from a stereo setup, pick left or right, and feed this into the DCX input, left or right input, and drive one amplifier channel only. [B]can i do multiple speakers at the same time? [/B] That is why active rules. You can run your whole system this way permanently and have the ability to tweak it forever. A 3 way loudspeaker would need a 6 channel amp to do this. two channels for tweeters {left + right} two channels for mids {left + right} two channels for woofers {left + right} If you are making a 2 way, then you need 4 amp channels. The subwoofer is considered a seperate unit not part of this discussion. Since the DCX is a 3 way device, you can make a 2 way floor stander and use the 3rd output for your subwoofer as you can sum the left and right channels. [B]otherwise, how would i be able to tell which tweets/mids/woofers sound good together?[/B] When you reach Sith Lord status it's easier to visualize driver integration. [/QUOTE]
