What is this 'magic cable' recipe you mention?
I tried a search and it brought nothing more than your post and one more older.

Hi DD!
The ‘magic cable’ is a single wire (I used 16 awg) with a resistor soldered in-line to the positive pin on an RCA plug (plugged into each input on a subwoofer amp (ex. Crown XLS 1002) and the other ends connected to each main amp positive speaker terminal.
The resistor is an Ohmite 600 ohm, 1W, 1%. Got them on eBay.
Best,
Geno

On one of the other threads Steve and one of his clients spoke about removing certain fail safe components like fuses from the circuit and hard soldering interconnects acknowledging improved results but cautioning the risks. I may be mistaken but I believe he said the risk was real but was less likely because of the overbuilt transformer.

Thanks, Geno,
I suppose I read more into your use of the word "recipe" than I should have. I thought you guys were cooking something up!
So you leave yours floating, I have had to ground mine, usually. Not so with the Yamahas or the Crowns, but the McIntosh appreciates it.
Thanks again for clearing the kitchen.

I’m using a Crown XLS1002 into a single W15. Should I bridge it to mono and use one of the coil taps or run a cable from each channel into each of the voice coils? Is there any danger to the amp or speaker doing one way over the other?
