Note About RCA Cables
In a home theater system, you will use RCA cables to connect your subwoofer.
You’ll use one cable for each subwoofer in your system that will plug into the LFE
(LFE stands for “Low Frequency Effects”) input of the Speedwoofer. These RCA ca-
bles do not have to be expensive. This is because the frequency range that goes
through the cable is very narrow. Just make sure the cable is built well enough to be
reliable. Do not use cables with oversized RCA plugs. They may not be able to be
pushed all the way in, causing an improper connection.
Single Subwoofer, 5.1 or 7.1
To setup a single subwoofer, you will need a single RCA cable. Connect one
end of the RCA cable to the LFE input terminal on your subwoofer amplifier
(commonly located on the back of your subwoofer). Then connect the other end to
the LFE or subwoofer output of your receiver.
Dual Subwoofers, 5.1 or 7.1
There are two different methods of installing two subwoofers; both produce the
exact same result. So, use the method that is most convenient for you. To hook up
two subwoofers you will need two high quality RCA cables and a “Y” adaptor (if your
receiver doesn’t have 2 subwoofer output jacks).
Method 1.
First, locate the LFE output terminal on your receiver or amplifier. Now plug the
“Y” adaptor directly into that LFE terminal; in essence turning the one LFE output ter-
minal into two. Connect an RCA cable to each of the two LFE output terminals on the
“Y” adaptor. Then run one of the cables to each subwoofer so that both subwoofers
are receiving the same signal.
Method 2.
In this method connect a “Y” adaptor to the LFE input on the subwoofer that is
closest to your receiver. Then, from the “Y” adapter, connect one RCA cable to the
LFE input of the second subwoofer and another RCA cable to the LFE output of your
receiver. You may prefer this method if one of your subwoofers is particularly far from
your receiver. In such cases, this method allows you use shorter cable lengths.
Dual Subwoofers, 7.2
Setting up both subwoofers for your 7.2 system is also easy. You will need two
RCA cables. First, locate the two LFE output terminals on your 7.2 receiver. The ter-
minals may be designated left and right. Using the RCA cables, connect the left sub-
woofer to the left LFE output terminal and repeat for the right subwoofer. Make sure
the cables are connected to each subwoofer’s LFE input terminals.
