Connecting the Subwoofer to Digital Home Theater Systems
Digital 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 home theater electronics dedicate one channel (the “.1”) to reproduce the special
low-frequency information (such as explosions and thunder) contained in digitally-encoded soundtracks.
Select ”subwoofer-yes“ from your receiver’s set-up menu. Hooked up this way, the receiver’s amplifier is relieved
of having to reproduce the difficult low bass signals that can drive the receiver into audible distortion.
Use an RCA cable (not included), as shown, to connect your digital receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer.
Set the crossover to the
bypass position and connect to “line level in.

How to Connect Using the Speaker Terminals
We recommend 18-gauge wire or thicker for runs up to 15 feet (4.5m), and 16-gauge wire or thicker for longer runs.
Separate the first few inches of the wire conductors. Strip off
1
2-inch (13mm) of insulation from the ends of each
speaker wire to expose the two conductors and tightly twist the wire strands.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock hazard, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections
to the speaker.
When making all connections, be sure to connect the
+ (red) on the speaker to the + (red) on the amplifier, and
the (black) on the speaker to the (black) on the amplifier.
IMPORTANT: Typically, one side of the wire is smooth.
Connect this side to the (black) connection. The
other side has a rib or stripe. Connect this to the +
(red) connection.
Using the five-way binding posts: The binding
posts permit easy connection to banana plugs,
spade lugs, and bare wire. Insert the wire in the
hole and tighten.
