Subwoofer Settings

God Almighty...googling a speaker question you need to be a freaking mathematician.

I could use some help. Just to get me started, from a 2 channel amp should I connect to the sub using low pass or high pass RCA connection? Should I be using 1 or 2 cables?

As a starting point where should the crossover be?

You can set it up, get it going, be happy,

However, there are (not math) operational considerations, and as you have/will see, not everyone agrees.

Decisions for a sub for an AV system are different than the more critical use of sub(s) in a 2 way system like you are doing.

Would you like my unsolicited comments on subs?

u mentioned LFE input... are you working with a Rel sub?

if so, Rel provides an EXCELLENT owners manual... it spells out in clear prose detailed instructions on how to connect -- for example, where/when you can, you should use the HI LEVEL inputs rather than RCA - they specifically supply a cable with Neutrik connector for ths very purpose... for best sound quality
