DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS Line-Level Connection – Stereo Amp or Preamplifier Both Left and Right inputs on your Sub can be used in a two-channel stereo application with a stereo amp or preamplifier that has Left and Right line-level outputs. Connect the left and right outputs of your amplifier to the left and right line level inputs of the Sub. When using a pre-amp and power amp, you can connect the sub to the pre-amp line outs and then, using the line outs on the sub, connect to the power amp.
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS Connecting Multiple Subwoofers Room acoustics are the biggest challenge to reproducing great bass at home. As you can see from the graphs shown earlier, our FS subs can reach down to 16Hz and have a very flat-fre- quency response. However, those measurements exclude any effects that your room may have on the re- sponse.
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS Speaker Level Connection In a two-channel system, many audiophiles do not want to restrict their main speaker’s frequency response. All that is needed is the additional, missing bass. The best way to connect your subwoofer or subwoofers is to use the speaker-level inputs.
