Hey all, new to Outlaw but looking forward to giving it a try. Bought a 990 and 7700 amp.
Still waiting for the amp to arrive. In my current set up I am running an old Adcom 2 channel amp to drive 2 passive 12" subs. Since I am only goint to be running 5 channel right now I would like to use the 2 remaining channels on the 7700 to drive my subs. Question, is this advisable? My mains are 8 ohms and will be connected with balanced cables. My subs are 4 ohm and would need to be hooked up with single ended rca connections.
Given the much larger load that would be placed on 2 of the amps channels as well as the different connection types is it a good idea?
The old Adcom is only rated for 100 watts per channel (I assume at 8ohms). I have always wanted more power to the subs but I don't want to tax the amp and give up sound quality on my main channels. I know the amp is rated for 4 ohm loads but just wonder about the uneven load per channel. This will only be a temporay solution until I can buy a new powered sub.

Any input??

Thanks in advance.
