Connecting Your Subwoofer

Low Level Subwoofer Connection

If your receiver or preamplifier has a “sub-out” connection on the rear panel, you will need a shielded RCA terminated interconnect cable to connect it to the subwoofer. This is the preferred method for connecting your subwoofer.

NOTE: Your subwoofer is supplied with two low-level inputs (L&R). But if your receiver or processor has a single sub- out connector, connect it to the input labeled “5.1 sub input”; or you can use a “y” plug to connect to both the left and right inputs.

wires (16 gauge or better) to run from your amp or receiver to the subwoofer speaker level inputs. Then you’ll need another pair of wires to run from the subwoofer speaker level outputs to each speaker. Each pair should be of equal length, keeping excess wire to a minimum.
