To alleviate this condition, we recommend the following steps: 1) If using line level jacks, BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT INPUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED – never use just the left or just the right input. If the subwoofer’ s input comes from the LFE channel of your receiver, use a “Y” splitter to supply the single input to both connectors for the Left and Right subwoofer inputs.
