Remember in the nineties when every kids show said stuff like "when you die, can I get your stereo?", as if a mundane piece of consumer equipment was something to dream about. Not me though OP, I just want your balanced portfolio of index funds and your fly as hell kicks.

Sorry i dunno what next phase is, but they are CR'3s

maybe you can answer this, I've never added a subwoofer to something sort of self contained like these speakers. This is what the back look like



i was thinking about buying a cheapo plate amp and like a 6" subwoofer and buliding a small cabinet but I dont know how to input the sound correctly!! this is what the plate amp looksl ike



now I have the mackies hooked up with a RCA y cable from my computer. to add the sub should I splice off a signal from the high level input to the passive speaker or should I splice that signal from the low level RCA side somehow? i dont want one speaker to be quieter than the other but im weary of the low level side losing signal quality!
