ere are several dierent ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal) is delivered
to the amplier(s) and Transducer(s). We have found that about half of our customers prefer using the LFE/
SUB signal with their Transducers. e other half prefer using the Right Front (RF) and Le 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
e 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. is 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. is will allow you to connect the signal into both the Le and Right input connectors on the amplier.

Right Front (RF) and Le Front (LF) Hookup
For this hookup, connect the RF and LF Pre-Amp Outputs to the amplier inputs.
NOTE: Not all receivers have Pre-Amp outputs for the Right Front and Le Front outputs. If you have
a question about your receiver’s outputs, please consult your owner’s manual or contact your receiver’s
manufacturer.
Multiple Signal Hookup
is conguration is a little more complicated. You will need a small mixer to make this work. Connect the
signals you want to use to the mixer input. en, connect the mixer output to the amplier input using a “Y”
adapter.
