How should I connect F12 subwoofer to a pair of BHK600?

I have purchased speaker cables to connect my two BHK 600 monoblocks to the high-level inputs of a single Foundry F12 subwoofer.

My intended connection is:

  • Left BHK 600 positive/negative outputs → F12 left high-level positive/negative input
  • Right BHK 600 positive/negative outputs → F12 right high-level positive/negative input

The FR10s will remain connected to the second set of binding posts on each BHK 600.

Currently, the F12 is connected to my preamp via RCA, while the BHK 600s are connected via XLR. I will disconnect the RCA cables before switching to high-level input.

Could any one please confirm that this connection is correct and completely safe for both BHK 600 monoblocks? I want to be certain there is no risk of damage.

Thank you.

My two nickels: having owned FR10, and presently have two sets of FR20 and one pair of FR5 (and a F12), I fully trust the knowledge of Chris B. If feeding high level to the F12 was important, there would be that option on the wireless transmitter. I know you’ve headed in the direction of feeding from high level but I highly recommend you put the wires away and spring for the transmitter. Finding the right spot for the sub, easy with wireless connection is more important than the subtle difference difference in signal pre and post amp.

I don’t have an F12 but what you describe sounds exactly correct. Make sure you get the polarities connected right. The subwoofer should really enhance the sound from your F10s so enjoy!
