i suppose i will just have to try it. i think i'll do the connect to a 1/4" and then run through a d.i. technique that i heard about in other threads, but i was just wondering if that means i'll only get half the power or what(?) since i'm only using two of the four terminals.

Subwoofer Wiring (turning into a mic)
