The RSL Speedwoofer 10SMKII can be used in virtually all stereo systems. Depending on your
equipment, there are different options for hooking up your Speedwoofer.
If Your Stereo Receiver Or Amplifier Has Pre

Outputs
Method #1
-
Connection Though The Speedwoofer 10S
This method, requires 2 pairs of RCA cables. One pair of cables is connected from your
preamplifier (or receiver
’
s pre
-
amplifier) outputs to the Speedwoofer
’
s left and right line
inputs. Then another pair is connected from the sub
’
s left and right line outputs to your power
amplifier (or back into your receiver
’
s power amplifier inputs). The audio signal travels from
your pre
-
amplifier through the subwoofer giving the subwoofer the audio it needs and then
back out to your power amplifier and to your speakers. In this method, the Speedwoofer
’
s
internal crossover is used to control the bass of the subwoofer. To use, set the crossover
frequency control to the desired crossover frequency. This also selects the DSP
’
s music mode
(more about this in the section about DSP settings).
Method #2
-
Connection Using Y Adapters
In this method, you also will need two pairs of RCA cables, however the lengths on one may be
shorter. You will also need two Y Adapters that split the audio into two RCA connections.
Connect a Y adapter to left pre
-
amplifier output and the other Y adapter to the right
pre
-
amplifier output. Then connect one pair of cables from the left and right pre
-
amplifier
outputs to the Speedwoofer
’
s left and right line inputs. The other pair of cables connect from
the left and right pre
-
amplifier
’
s outputs to the power amplifier
’
s left and right inputs. Please
see the diagram above. As in the first method, the Speedwoofer
’
s internal crossover is used to
control the bass reproduction of the subwoofer. Set the crossover frequency control to the
desired crossover frequency. This also selects the DSP
’
s music mode (more about this in the
section about DSP settings).
