Connecting the Subwoofer to Stereo or Dolby
®

S y s t e m s
For stereo or Dolby Pro Logic systems, the easiest method is to use speaker wire connections as shown.
When using the speaker wire hookup, the subwoofer’s built-in crossover is engaged. As a starting point, set the
crossover control on the subwoofer at roughly the lower limit of your front/main speakers’ bass response. Fine-tune the
crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your front/main speakers. The best setting of the crossover control
will depend on speaker placement and personal preference.
Be sure to connect + to + (red) and – to – (black
).
If you do not wish to run RCA cables to your subwoofer, you may use speaker wire to connect the subwoofer in parallel
with your front/main speakers (see diagram below). The subwoofer does not present any additional load to your receiver.
Select “subwoofer-no” from your receiver’s set-up menu. This sends the subwoofer signal to the front/main left and right
speakers, and thus, to the subwoofer. Consult your receiver’s owner’s manual for more details.
