The left and right line-level outputs from a mixer feed the inputs of two TAPCO TH-18s subwoofers. The full-range 

line-level outputs of the subwoofers feed the inputs of the TH-15A loudspeakers, so these play the full range in 

stereo, and the subs provide bass reinforcement.
Alternatively, you can use the high-pass line-level outputs of the subwoofers to feed the loudspeakers, then the 

subs will handle all the lows, while the TH-15A loudspeakers handle the mids and highs.

Using one TH-18s active subwoofer

The left and right line-level outputs from a mixer feed the inputs of a TH-18s active subwoofer. The full-range line-

level outputs of the subwoofer feed the inputs of the TH-15A loudspeakers, so these play the full range in stereo, 

and the sub provides bass reinforcement.
