If your preamplier does not have a dedicated sub/LFE output, you can use “Y” cables to
send its main outputs to both the subwoofer and your amplier.
The subwoofer will play the low frequency range and your front speakers will play the
full range. Although bass is commonly distributed evenly between left and right channels
(L+R bass), movie soundtracks often contain differential (L-R) bass. The opening scene in
“Transformers”, for example, has loads of L-R bass information. If this is not preserved, the
bass in these scenes sounds anemic. Therefore, systems which do not have a dedicated
sub/LFE output should use both the left and the right inputs as shown, for the greatest
bass impact.
An alternative connection method without using Y cables is shown on the next page.
If your preamp/receiver has a dedicated sub/LFE output,
then only one input is used as shown on the previous page.
