More Setup, calibrating and integration

You can put your subwoofer amp in your current equipment stack (make sure it gets plenty of ventilation) or run the subwoofer signal cable to the amp in a closet, or other out of the way location. Some exceptionally powerful amps are fan cooled and you might want such an amp out of the way location to avoid hearing the fan. Either way, you can then use simple 14 or 12 gauge speaker wire (b. above, plus d. in Fig 2 below) to then connect the amp to your subwoofer (s). Some amps sold by SVS allow one input to drive both channels of a dual sub/ amp setup. If you are running a pair of SV Subwoofers (fig. 2) with a standard amp, or bridging a stereo amp for one sub, you might need to use a “Y” cable adapter (c.) to split the subwoofer signal from your receiver and feed both channels of the amp. Naturally two pairs of speaker wires, (two wires leading from each channel of a stereo amp), would be used to drive two subs. We do NOT recommend you “daisy chain” subwoofers together unless you consult with SVS. Damage to your subwoofer, amp, or both can result!

!NOTE: Your manual must indicate the amp is rated for 4 Ohm loads. After calibrating your sub, check to ensure

during a typical bass program that the amp does not become hot to the touch. Incorrect wiring can cause thermal shut-down or worse!

“Calibration” isn’t only for tech minded folks, it’s critical to a proper balance of your home theater sound system. Fortunately, channel bal- ance calibration is as easy to do as it is important. The first order of business is making sure your DD/DTS surround sound system is set up properly. We recommend you consult your audio/video receiver (or processor) manual to refresh on the procedures to do this. Generally, this requires ensuring the receiver’s test tones, or a special test disk (like Video Essentials) plays back at the same volume from each of your system speakers. That’s Right, Center, Left, Right Rear and Left Rear speakers, plus the subwoofer . (More on sub level in a second).
