Connections to a pre-amplifier
using “Y” cables
If your pre-amplifier does not have a sub/LFE output,
you can use “Y” cables to send its main outputs to
both the subwoofer and your amplifier.
The subwoofer will play the low frequency range and
your front speakers will play the full range.
Although bass is commonly distributed evenly
between left and right channels (L+R bass), movie
soundtracks often contain differential (L-R) bass. The
opening scene in “Top Gun”, for example, has loads of
L-R bass information. If this is not preserved, the bass
in these scenes sounds anemic. The Earthquake
subwoofer utilized differential gain on the left and right
inputs to retain both the L+R and L-R information.
Therefore, systems which do not have a dedicated
sub/LFE output should use both the left and the right
inputs as shown, for the greatest bass impact.
An Alternative connection method without using “Y”
cables is shown on the next page.
If your pre-amp/receiver has a dedicated sub/LFE
output, the only the Left (Mono) input is used, as
shown on the previous page.
