[@successviews2990]

Hello, at the back of your sub is L/R connection but I saw you connecting on the R side. What makes of the L.??

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Either one works just fine. The subwoofer out on most receivers send all the relevant sub signal down 1 unbalanced subwoofer cable.

[@dilbyjones]

Wow! Learned sum thing new

[@n1mus76]

​@@HomeTheaterHobbyist , couldn't you just use the y adapter for 1 pre-out on back of receiver to L/R on Subwoofer. Get the male plugs on other end instead of female. Or would it drowned it out? Assuming that booms would only play on right side. Left side would be nothing or am I over thinking this?

[@LFC-Star]

either works fine as a sub only carries a mono signal.. You can connect another sub into the L one if you want.. With another phono cable.. or a Y SPLITTER into each if you intend to run 4 subwoofers? Running 4 subs is a good idea.. 2 in the front sound stage (forward facing). Then 2 smaller downfiring subs in each corner behing the listening position. To connect those up you use shorter subwoofer phono cables between the subwoofers on the rear. In short one of the front subs has a phono sub cable connected to the receiver then a longer sub cable from the front R sub to the sub R side in the rear. Then do the same with the L side. Then run a sub cable between the 2 rear subwoofers to complete the curcuit.

[@KIDSIXoo]

Why wouldn't it make sense that there are 2 inputs both wire and RCA clearly labeled (Left) And (Right) Red and white that its a dual voice coil sub woofer? On my 4 subs 2 of them have L and R inputs and I have tested with single and dual connections and when both are hooked up it gains decibels. Common sense.?

[@eyestick8012]

Thanks for the informative video. My Onkyo TX-NR686 does not have a large or small speaker option, just says "full band, or set crossover depending on speaker size". All my low signals go to the mains and center, and almost none to my sub. My Fluance DB 12's do not have an lfe, just line in. Have the crossover on sub all the way up, phase on "regular" and even with volume 3/4 up, almost no bass. The cable is plugged into subwoofer pre out on AVR, and into line in on sub with a Monoprice sub cable. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks.

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

When you run the Onkyo speaker calibration do you hear audio from the sub when it sends a test sound to th sub? If not you may not be getting audio to the sub, first I’d switch cables then maybe inputs on the sub if you have multiple inputs, then try the same on the Onkyo if you have multiple sub outputs. If you are getting sound during auto calibration you could also try setting your speakers crossover setting to 80Hz instead of “Full band”. That will send more bass signal to the sub.

[@horaciodortona574]

That was very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it's very helpful.

Thanks for your video .For Yamaha receivers YPAO sub level calibration it’s recommended that level post calibration should be around zero to 3 . after reviewing sub level in first calibration You can tweak sub volume by on second calibration to fall into the 0 to 3 range.

Ok thanks!

Thanks! Klipsch website says if you connect to BOTH sub inputs, that it doubles the input voltage which equals a 6dB boost in output. My amp has 2 sub outs. Can I just use 2 RCA's or do I need a splitter from 1 output to increase the bass?

I can use your advice, 2 months ago I purchased 2 SVS 12" PB 1000 Pro Subwoofers, They sound good but it's stil something missing, I was thinking of getting a 3rd PB 1000 Pro or would you sell and get 2 SVS 12" PB 2000 Pros?

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Hmmmmm….. when you say something is missing what do you mean exactly? If you’re looking for the subs to play a little deeper than the 2000 pros maybe the way to go. If you want more balanced bass throughout the room than a 3rd 1000 pro is the way to go.

[@NordenEngineering]

You didnt explain the RCA connections and why there are two outputs and two inputs but you only connected it to one surely the bass signal is not the same on both outputs plus what happens if you connect both RCA connections. Is the signal out form the amp at line level and can you explain what LFE is

[@mrpmj00]

Your subwoofer has 2 inputs (LEFT and RIGHT), so which one did you plug into?

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Either one should work if it doesn't have one marked as "LFE input".

[@enriqueali]

There are two line in/ sub in inputs on your sub. Which one do you plug the cable into? Also, on my integrated amplifier I have two sub/ line out inputs. Which one do I plug the cable into at that end?

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Either connection should work, if it doesn't try the other. Mono signal is fine for a subwoofer.

[@namreh72]

Quick question.. I dont have a receiver.. but I wanted to know is it possible to hook my 8 inch theater solution to just my TV and let it power it that way or does it need more power to actually make the sub work... The sub have a "left and right" input and the cord you mentioned "male and female 2x.. the TV outputs have 1 Arc hmdi, 2 HDMI, 1 optical digital out: which is hooked to the soundbar... And components av 6 I believe..is it possible to run the left and right out of the components into the power based subwoofer left and right "in".. I turned it on and I don't here much of anything.. so what ever solution you have will be grateful..

[@carolinadrew170]

2 sub cables is fine, continue living your life and enjoying your setup! 😁

[@gowthamk5392]

So in phase setting if I have four options in sub lik 0,90,270,360.. way should I keep.? And in avr if we set 60 for sub we should keep the same frequency in sub woofer also.?

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

0 should be fine for phase. Just make sure the sub’s cone is moving in the same direction as the remaining speakers. If it doesn’t then adjust the phase. I would move the sub’s crossover to “AVR” or something high that way there is no confusion on the crossover setting.

This is kinda hard to answer via text but here it goes: Set your AV receiver to play stereo music as 2.1 and set the crossover frequency. Below the crossover frequency (80Hz for example) the Avr will send those frequencies to the subwoofer output.

One end of the cable goes to the AVR and that's ok, but why did you plug the other end, which goes to the subwoofer, right into the + (red)? Does it always go to + or does it depend on the subwoofer? I know if there is LFE on the subwoofer it goes there, but what is the rule if there is no LFE? Greetings and thanks. 👍

Hi, I have exact duel subs and a 7.2 amp. Do I need only a single cable to each sub or use a splitter and cable to each sub. My subs only have a red and white connection. Do I set the crossover on one sub to 0 and the other to 150 htz or just let my amp to do the work. I have an Onkyo 767. Thanks

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Since you have 2 subwoofer outputs on your Receiver you can use those. Use a single subwoofer cable for each subwoofer out then connect it to the white input on each of your receivers. Set the crossover on each sub to 80hz then set your receiver crossover to 80hz as well and you should be good to go! Hope this helps, enjoy!

[@jmtapper2]

I have two cables that have two male connectors that I can connect the red and the white on my subs. Should I do that or just connect one cable to the white input on each sub?

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

You can just connect the one wire either both reds or both whites

[@jmtapper2]

I didn't know if my Onkyo 676 had a build in LFE for the white port for movies and the red port was for music base. I have KEF Q100's for my front mains and they are not known for their base so I wanted to use my subs to add base to them for music. If I connect the cable to both the red and white on both subs I thought I would have both bases covered. I didn't want LFE only. I could select base and mains, in my receiver and get music and LFE. I think?

Set it above what ever setting you choose. For example if your receiver is set at 80Hz then set the subwoofer at 100hz that way you know the subwoofer is playing everything the receiver is sending.

[@BrewReview]

Did you watch the video? You will need two rca cables of appropriate length and a splitter for said cables. Connect the splitter to one subwoofer output on the AVR, connect both subwoofers to the splitter. The reason being is auto room corrections do not independently set levels and eq for subs, they’re calibrated as if they are one subwoofer. The “.1” in “7.1” or “5.1” Ensure that both subs are plying at equal volume from your MLP using an SPL meter before calibrating them in the AVR.

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

I don't think you'll need to connect both. The easiest way to determine what you needs to be connected is: connect both connections, play a track with bass that you know (a bass frequency like 40Hz will work). Stop the track, (disconnect power) remove one connection. Play the same again and see if you hear any difference.

Hi Dude, I have a Denon x3600H 9.2 Av receiver. So can you suggest me the low budget speaker system. How many speakers doses it need ? Which is better Klipsch or Polk audio? Thank you.
