Brent, Great overview and tips for connection and use. Please keep the good info coming. Thanks, Kevin

[@EmotivaAudioCorp]

Thanks, will do!

[@femca]

Thank you very much, I got some useful information out of it which should improve my sub’s performance. Great job❤

[@Dlevin817]

Great Video! Thanks for the education!! Very well presented

[@AtomicTrent]

Very good video. My PT2 and A2 just showed up and trying to figure out settings for the hi/low pass with my Omni S12 sub. Any suggestions?

[@HeyYall398]

Wow! The BEST explanation ever in my experience!

[@EmotivaAudioCorp]

Wow, thanks!

[@puddleduckist]

Great info! I just ordered an xs8 sub for my pc set up. I'm using a set of kanto tuk powered speakers with a sub out. Can you give me an idea of how to set the various adjustments with this set up?? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 💯!!!

[@samsquanch67]

Good info! Question, I have the XSP-1 gen 2 running a 2 channel set up would you bypass the LFE on the Sub would you work off of the line output crossovers on the pre along with the cross over on the sub? New to subs any ideas would be welcomed.. thank you!

[@madcrabber1113]

Why not put the inputs that are on the cheaper subs also on the more expensive ones? love the high pass on the SE.

[@jeffwhitehead7990]

What about the High Pass Filter on the SE8? Never mentioned and pretty unique for a sub in that price range?

[@brownstone43]

My 702 S2 say: -6dB at 28Hz and 33kHz. What would you suggest for a crossover setting? I think my Anthem AV70 room correction picks a crossover point but not sure how good it is.

[@dennisgraff6571]

Awesome ! Thank you !

[@EmotivaAudioCorp]

You're welcome!

What happened to the RS13?

[@JR-ho5qm]

Ok I’m a bit confused, my 2 channel system is a Emotiva PT100 and a Emotiva RS11 sub is it ok for me to use a single subwoofer cable or do I have to use a dual cable to get best results thanks!

[@EmotivaAudioCorp]

You have it connected correctly with the single cable.

[@reticulatedralphie7176]

How much power is consumed from the main amp when using the High Level inputs? My amp only has an LFE output that has a set crossover point, so I would like a sub that has High Level inputs. Unfortunately, I'm pushing my amp kind of hard already, and I don't want to add any extra stress to my amp. Thanks.

[@madcrabber1113]

Since this is a powered sub the high level inputs only need signal not power so your amp will not be pushed any harder.

[@JR-ho5qm]

Any chance of knowing when the RS11 will be back in stock? I was wanting to pull the trigger on one this fall and just seen it’s out of stock 😞. 🔈👍🏻 great video thanks!

[@EmotivaAudioCorp]

Hey JR, they will be coming back soon this holiday season!

[@JR-ho5qm]

@@EmotivaAudioCorp fantastic! Thanks for the quick reply

[@JR-ho5qm]

I got my RS11 on the Black Friday special. What a great price! The build quality is fantastic. Very impressive! More people need to be talking about the RS series of subs from Emotiva. 👍🏻🔈

[@good4sound]

Brilliant

[@ChrisCeeKayKelley]

Is 15 ft too long for an RCA Sub Cable? A lot of Cable manufacturer sell that length specifically for subs. Thanks!

[@EmotivaAudioCorp]

15 ft should be fine for a subwoofer but the longer the RCA connection, the more there is an opportunity to introduce noise.

[@ChrisCeeKayKelley]

@@EmotivaAudioCorp Thanks. I knew about the longer lengths introducing noise but then I was wondering why so many people make that length. I guess it's to be able to situate your subwoofer where you need it in the room but then again, 15 ft is a little long for an RCA cable but thank you for reassuring me that it should be fine.

[@daviddavidsonn3578]

@@ChrisCeeKayKelley Use a SHIELDED RCA cable, it should prevent noise from getting in the signal.

[@bingdong8571]

I have very strong feelings that signal paths are subjective, lol

why is this filmed on a potato

Say what?

[@droidzhunterz6861]

@@EmotivaAudioCorp Low resolution and less than ideal lighting resulting in a noisy video quality. Could have used some more key lights on the subwoofer controls. Also zoom in more
