Quoted from copperpot:Note: This won't work on AC/DC and a handful of WPC-era pins
And how does it work on an AC/DC?

Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:I soldered the Extra speaker wires to the cab- Sub on AC/DC ,, Gold to Red ,, Ran the wires thru the screen in the back Right and hook the wires into the 100w self Powered Sub ,, Gold to Red..
Bring's any Pin to Life ...
Quoted from Pinwiz1985:def need a line out signal, if you tap into the amplified signal going straight to the speaker in the cab...and run into the input of your powered or unpowered sub, kiss the input section of your sub good bye. You are loading down the output section for the pin speakers with greater resistance load shortening its life.
The trick is finding the line out signal before it hits the amp on the sound board. ShinyNick's suggestion is much more safe. AND CHEAP!
The ONLY time I can see tapping off the speaker of an amp is by use of a "passive direct insertion box." just to get that unique sound of the amplifer (I'm refering to tube guitar amps) but thats a non issue here. It adds a transformer isolation to prevent electrical mismatches, but tend to be expensive for a quality one.
So I buyed a Polk 110 Sub and conected it to the cabin sub of my AC/DC just like Black Rose did it. And oh man what a difference, the sound is fantastic. This game is made for an external sub.
But now I read Pinwiz1985 post, and he says that this way I would shorten the life of the input section, so did I wrong?
A friend of mine who is better with audiosystems told me, that I had connected the external sub parallel to my cabinet speaker and so I am going from 8 Ohm to 4 Ohm and that this coud be dangerous.
Is there an other way for the AC/DC pin to hook a external sub to it? I don't want to play without now that I heard how good it could sound. But I don't want to overload something.
Quoted from Arcade:I may try this on my AC/DC sometime. Since you guys seem to like it so much. Is there really a big difference on the premiums that already have the 12" sub in them. My powered sub is only 10" I believe, so not sure if it will help much.
Big improvement!!! Try it, you will like it.
