CONNECTING YOUR SUBWOOFER

Using an Integrated Amplifier/Receiver equipped with pre-out Jacks only (See Diag. 1)

This method uses two standard RCA-to-RCA interconnect cables. First, connect the amp/receiver's left "PRE-OUT" to the subwoofer jack marked left (L) "LOW LEVEL INPUT". Then, connect the amp/receiver's right "PRE-OUT" to the subwoofer jack marked right (R) "INPUT". This method by-passes the subwoofer's built-in high pass crossover, and your speakers will continue to reproduce bass frequencies.

Using the “Subwoofer Output” of an A/V Receiver or Processor (See Diag. 2)

This method uses a single RCA-to-RCA interconnect cable to connect the "SUBWOOFER OUTPUT" jack from your A/V receiver or processor to either the left or right subwoofer "INPUT". This method does not remove low frequencies from your main speakers, and they will continue to reproduce bass frequencies.

Using External Crossover (See Diag. 3)

This method uses a single RCA-to-RCA interconnect cable to connect the "SUBWOOFER OUTPUT" jack from an external crossover to the LFX input of your subwoofer. This method by-passes the subwoofer's built-in low pass crossover and level control, thus, all subwoofer functions are controlled by the external crossover. (See External Crossover Owner’s Manual)
