There are several different ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal)
isdeliveredtotheamplier(s)andTransducer(s).Sinceourinception,wehavediscoveredthat
approximately half of our customers prefer using the LFE/SUB signal with their Transducers. The other
half prefer using the Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) signals. Additionally, there are a few people
who like to use multiple signals concurrently. In the following instructions, we provide you with general
diagrams for each of these hookup methods.
LFE/SUB Hookup
The LFE, SUB, or Subwoofer output is the signal that you send to the subwoofer.
If your receiver has only one LFE/SUB/Subwoofer output port, connect a “Y” adapter to that output.
This will allow you to split the signal between the Transducer and the subwoofer. To do this properly,
connectyoursubwoofertoonesideofthe“Y”adapter.Connecttheampliertotheothersideofthe
“Y” adapter. To reduce the amount of noise produced when using this signal, use another “Y” adapter
cablewhenconnectingtotheamplier.ThiswillallowyoutoconnectthesignalintoboththeLeftand
Right inputconnectorsontheamplier.
