FIGURE 5 - WIRING ONE SUBWOOFER TO AN AMP

OR PREAMP WITH ONE SET OF PREAMP OUTPUTS

If your surround processor has only one PREAMP OUTPUT (and no SUBWOOFER OUT), and you

do not have an M&K High-Pass Filter or crossover, you must use a Y-connector to feed the amplifier
and  subwoofer.  See Figure 5 above.  If you have a surround sound processor with a SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT jack, use it to feed the subwoofer.  See Figure 3 on page 8.

Some surround processors/receivers/amps have very low output levels from their SUBWOOFER

OUTPUT jacks.  If you do not get enough bass when using the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT jacks on a
non-THX processor, use that processor's PREAMP OUTPUT jacks instead.  See Figure 5 above.
