Getting some sound [Harmon Kardon amp]

[davee magee]

Hi guys,
I've just recently invested in the awesome TD12 and i want to amp the through my hi-fi system.
Im a complete idiot when it comes to music tech, so i have no idea what im doing and dont want to damage my expensive system!

Ive a got a Harmon Kardon amp & cd player.

HK 970

HD 970

and two 'Monitor audio' speakers

Silver RS6

The amps got the standard inputs aux, cd, tuner, etc...

any advice you can give me on setting this up?

I know im being a bit vague here but i dont know what you need to know to help me out...

Plug 2 of these into the ports labeled 'Master Out R L (mono)' then connect an RCA patch cord

Davee,

Just be careful. Hi-fi systems were really not made to carry the bottom end that edrums can pump out. Just as you can blow a guitar amp with edrums, I would imagine you could blow your speakers and/or amp with them. I'm not sure I would try it. Personally I think you would be safer using a keyboard amp, or other drum monitor system designed for the purpose. Just my $.02

Ok,
Thanks guys, i think im going to skip on the semi-dodgy-potencially-disasterous hook up...for now...

In the mean time im going to invest in a solid keyboard amp, a freinds reccomended one for me and im gunna give it a go.

Thanks again for your advice.

Dave.
