My sub woofer went out but I have a pair of old infinity overture 1 speakers that each have built in 150 watt 10 inch powered woofers. One is now my center speaker and it does an adequate job of adding depth to the my AV sound in place of the sub woofer. . It probably sounds like a DefTech CLR 2300.

I was thinking about using the other one as a sub but the hook up will be a little odd. Will this work and will it sound OK? And will it not be likely to break anything?

1) Plug an old RCA cable into my receiver's sub out

2) Cut off and strip the other end.

3) Attach the stripped end to the overture 1 left input

4) set my receiver to only output 80db to the sub out

5) Plug it in and turn on the sound system
