Connecting Your Subwoofer
Low Level Subwoofer Connection
If your receiver or preamplifier has a "sub-out" connection on the rear panel,
you will need a shielded RCA terminated interconnect cable to connect it
to the subwoofer. This is the preferred method for connecting your subwoofer.

Speaker Level Subwoofer Connection
If you do not
have a "sub-
out"
connection, or
you choose to
use speaker-
level
connections,
you will need a
pair of speaker
wires (16 gauge or better) to run
from your amp or receiver to the
subwoofer speaker level inputs. Then
you'll need another pair of wires to
run from the subwoofer speaker level
outputs to each speaker. Each pair
should be of equal length, keeping
excess wire to a minimum.

NOTE:
Your subwoofer is supplied with
two low-level inputs (L&R). But if your
receiver or processor has a single sub-
out connector, connect it to the input
labeled "5.1 sub input"; or you can use
a "y" plug to connect to both the left and
right inputs.
