Hi Ross,
Your 'shelf system' has what is called a proprietary speaker setup. It is engineered to work only with the small satellites and bass unit supplied with it.
Quote:
The shelf system I have has High and LOW outputs.
This refers to frequency; both are high-level signal.
Quote:
...my sub woofer has high and low inputs
This refers to signal level.
So it seems you could connect the Low (frequency) output to the subwoofer's High (level) input, using speaker wire.
They warn you that the amp in the little unit will not drive current into a low impedance - few amplifiers will! But it says no lower than 6 ohms; hell, that's pretty standard. Some inexpensive amp's struggle when below 8 ohms. Your 'big' sub will probably present a similar load as the 'little' sub, so WTF, give it a try.
If the SC-AK45 is unhappy, it will trip-out or 'protect' when driven hard at high volumes.
Be really stingy with the sub volume. Since it will easily drown out the satellites, your music could quickly become very unbalanced or 'tubby'.
Also, it seems that the bass is handed-off to the sub at a fairly high frequency, so you should adjust the sub's low-pass filter to approx. 400Hz.
This is higher that typical 100-200Hz, and will have your sub reproducing the 4 lowest octaves of sound.
If any of this doesn't make sense to you: Ask ;-)
Otherwise give it a go!
And, buy a DVD player - only a dickhead (or an audiophile) would buy a CD-only player these days.
