Hooking Up The Subwoofer

I. CONNECT USING LFE (SUB OUT) SUBWOOFER OUTPUT 

This connection is recommended if your audio equipment is equipped with a single filtered RCA 

subwoofer output (usually marked as LFE, SUB OUT, SUBWOOFER etc.). 

There are 2 options of connection:

a. Using a single RCA subwoofer cable - connect the LFE output with the SUB Input on the rear panel.

b. Using an Y-type subwoofer cable (1xRCA to 2xRCA) - connect the 1xRCA plug to the LFE output and 

the 2xRCA plugs to the Left and Right Low Input on the rear panel.

II. CONNECT USING STEREO RCA OUTPUT (L/R)

If your audio equipment is not equipped with a filtered LFE (SUB OUT) subwoofer output then you can 

use regular stereo RCA outputs (non-filtered).

 

There are 2 options of connection:

a. Using a pair of RCA subwoofer cable - connect the L/R RCA outputs of your audio equipment 

to the Left and Right Low Input on the rear panel.

b. Using an Y-type subwoofer cable (1xRCA to 2xRCA) - connect the 2xRCA plugs to the L/R RCA 

outputs of your audio equipment and the 1xRCA plug to the Left or Right Low Input on the rear panel.

III. CONNECT USING SPEAKER OUTPUTS

You can use regular speaker cables to connect the subwoofer with your audio equipment – this process 

is the same as connecting stereo speakers. 

Using the speaker cables connect speaker output connectors located on your audio equipment 

to the High Input Speaker Connectors (Left and Right) on the rear panel. 

Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the audio equipment correctly with the subwoofer in each 

speaker connector group (the subwoofer should be connected RED + with RED + audio equipment 

connector, BLACK – with BLACK – audio equipment connector). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please refer to your audio equipment instruction manual for more information about hooking up speaker 

cables. 

5. Your subwoofer is ready for operation. 

The Y type connection increases the bass output of the subwoofer 

by a few decibels.

Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit, 

it can damage this subwoofer and/or audio equipment. 

This may void your warranty.

The CROSSOVER adjustment is not active with the Low Input Sub.   

All adjustments and filtering of the signal should be set in the audio equipment 

configuration.
