Integrated Amps - another thread...

subwoofer with zero punch... help
Running the sub from your headphone jack?  Uh, no.  If you're using a home theater receiver, it should have a subwoofer out.  Use that.Which input are you using on the sub?  If you're using the LFE, try the left (line level) input.  As others have...
