This will give you better bass quality than using the speaker inputs, because it bypasses your amp or receiver's
amplifier stage. To connect the subwoofer in this way, simply run one or a pair of shielded RCA - RCA interconnect
cables from the output jacks on your component to the "LINE LEVEL" jacks on the Subwoofer's backplate. If you run
one cable, connect it to the “LEFT” input jack. See Figure 1. It is not necessary to use both input jacks on the sub-
woofer.
