    Dayton 10" Owners

    I've searched and searched, but can't find what connections are on the back of the Dayton 10" sub. Anyone?

    Well you can do the speaker wire route or the rca route. I have the 12" BTW.

    I plan on getting 2 small bookshelves and a T-Amp plugged into an Audigy 2. What's the best way?

    I'd put the sound through the sub (line level RCA connectors), through the T-amp, and to the speakers.

    That's generally the preferred way.

    You could put the T-amp before the sub, and connect it to the high level inputs (wire clips/posts, whatever it has on the back) on the sub, but that's not optimal.

    I have it connected through rca in and there is an out too for connecting another sub but I doubt you'll need more than one.

    Why is going through the T-amp less optimal? I would imagine any sort of amp first would only help...unless it's that bad of an amp. Or is it only cuz it has the wire clips/posts and not a sub cable setup? I can't say I know much about it...

    the dayton, has rca line in/outs that you'll want to you. audigy - > (line in)mini to rca ->dayton -> (line out) rca to mini -> t-amp -> speakers. exactly the way I do it, except I've got a regular receiver instead of a t amp.

    here is also the link to the dayton manual, which has a little more info on what all connections it has.
