Connecting the Subwoofer to Stereo or Dolby®Pro Logic®
Systems

For stereo or Dolby ProLogic systems, the easiest method is to use speaker wire connections as shown.

When using the speaker wire hookup, the subwoofer’s built-in crossover is engaged. As a starting point, set the

crossover control on the subwoofer at roughly the lower limit of your front/main speakers’ bass response. Fine-

tune the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your front/main speakers. The best setting of the

crossover control will depend on speaker placement and personal preference.

For stereo or Dolby Pro Logic systems, the easiest method is to use the same speaker wire connections as shown above.

You may also use the “sub out” connection from your receiver to the input on the subwoofer marked use crossover con-

trol. When using speaker wire or the use crossover controlinput, the subwoofer’s built-in crossover is engaged. As a start-

ing point, set the crossover control on the subwoofer about 10Hz higher than the lower limit of your main speakers’ bass

response. Fine-tune the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your main speakers. The best setting of the

crossover control will depend on speaker placement and personal preference.

If you do not wish to run RCA cables to your subwoofer, you may use speaker wire to connect the subwoofer in

parallel with your front/main speakers (see diagram below). The subwoofer does not present any additional load

to your receiver.

Select “subwoofer-no” from your receiver’s set-up menu. This sends the subwoofer signal to the front/main left

andright speakers, and thus, to the subwoofer. Consult your receiver’s owner’s manual for more details.

When using the speaker wire hookup, the subwoofer’s built-in crossover is engaged. As a starting point, set the

crossover control on the subwoofer to roughly the lower limit of your front/main speakers’ bass response. Fine-tune

the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your front/main speakers. The best setting of the

crossover control will depend on speaker placement and personal preference.
