I was actually recommended the Mivoc on Reddit a few days ago. It looks good for the price and it’s a ten incher. Only problem is that there aren’t really much reviews of it and I don’t know how I would connect it to the speakers, since it doesn’t have RCA, but speaker cable ports (dunno how that’s called). The sub-out port on my Edies is just a coax.

I just checked and I don’t think that’s a sub coax out, I’m pretty sure it’s a coax in

Was you looking to the 1280DBs? I think the DB doesn’t have a sub-out, while the DBs has it.

The “s” is confusing, yeah

Oh i thought the s was a plural thing, not part of the name

Yeah, I thought so. Confusing branding 101

the sub out is 3.5mm, and the coax is an imput

I see. Don’t know how that would connect to the Mivoc tho. Guess just bare wire on the other end…

3.5mm to rca cable

I’m blind, yeah, there’s RCA on the Mivoc. I was looking just to the bottom portion with the sockets for speaker wires.

Well, thanks for help. I will consider the Mivoc, but have to do some research first so I don’t buy some cheap trash.

no problem, I am blind too, can’t see my own damn eyelids sometimes when they’re closed I swear

you can use this, sized properly for your use case

selling your speakers and buying these instead is also an option:

I think I have some RCA to 3.5mm laying around. Thanks anyway.

I edited my previous comment if you didn’t notice

Well, I wouldn’t help myself much by doing that. The sub is probably the T5 and selling the speakers would be a hassle anyway. Price wise, it would be also very close.

Would you take the T5 or the Mivoc if the price and standby problem weren’t taken into consideration?
