HOOK-UP OPTIONS
OPTION #3 

(FIGURE 7)

This method is for use with electronics
featuring a “PRE OUT.” Connect the left
and right preamp output from your elec-
tronics to the left and right LINE LEVEL
input of the subwoofer. This may require
use of RCA “Y” cables (not supplied) to
hookup both the subwoofer and your 
electronics. When using option #3, it is
necessary to adjust the settings on your
electronics as follows: Front speakers =
“LARGE,” Subwoofer = “OFF” or “NO.”

HOOK-UP OPTIONS
OPTION #2 

(FIGURE 6)

This method can be used with electron-
ics that include a “SUB OUT” feature.

Connect a single RCA cable from the
“SUB OUT” of your electronics to the 
LFE input of the subwoofer. This input
bypasses the subwoofer’s variable low
pass filter and relies on the filter built
into your electronics. If your “SUB 
OUT” is an unfiltered signal (check 
your owner’s manual), use either left 
or right “Line Level Input,” to use the 
low pass crossover in the subwoofer. 

When using option #2, it is necessary 
to adjust the settings of your electron-
ics as follows: Front speakers =
“LARGE” or “SMALL” depending 
on their output capabilities; 
Subwoofer = “ON” or “YES.”
