listen to the system with music playing and switch between 0° and 180° while 

listening for a change in mid-bass output. The correct position will have a higher 

amount of apparent mid-bass output. 

5.

 

SPEAKER LEVEL IN: If your amplifier lacks both a dedicated subwoofer output or 

preamplifier outputs, connect the stereo speaker outputs on your amplifier to the 

SPEAKER LEVEL IN inputs using 2 speaker wires (not included). 

6.

 

LINE IN/SUB IN: If your amplifier has a dedicated subwoofer output (usually labeled 

SUB or LFE), use a mono RCA cable (not included) to connect the SUB/LFE output 

on your amp to the left (L) input on the subwoofer. Alternatively, you can use an 

RCA splitter cable (not included) to connect it to both the L and R inputs. If your 

amp does not have a dedicated subwoofer output, but does have a preamplifier 

output, use a stereo RCA cable (not included) to connect the stereo preamplifier 

output to the L and R inputs. 

7.

 

POWER: Use the switch to turn the subwoofer ON or OFF. If you are using the Auto 

Standby feature, the switch should be left in the ON position. 

8.

 

120V ~ 60Hz: Plug the power cord into a nearby AC power outlet. The subwoofer 

requires a nominal 120 VAC, 60Hz power source. 

 

CONNECTING TO YOUR SYSTEM 

Connecting to a SUB/LFE Output 

The best connection to the subwoofer is using a dedicated subwoofer output, if your 

amplifier has one, using a single, mono RCA cable (not included). Perform the following 

steps to connect the subwoofer to a dedicated SUB/LFE output on your receiver or 

amplifier. Note that any receiver that can decode Dolby Digital

 or DTS® soundtracks will 

have a dedicated SUB/LFE output. 

1.

 

Power off and unplug all equipment to be connected. 

2.

 

Using a single, mono RCA cable (not included), plug one end into the LINE IN/SUB IN 

L input on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into the dedicated SUB/LFE 

output on your amplifier.
