I do have an Yamaha AS-500 amp connected to two sets of Monitor Audio BX2 speakers and recently added an Monitor Audio BXW10 subwoofer since my room does not really seem to bring out the lower frequencies. Richer Sounds sold me a 1-2-1 Cambrigde Audio sub-cable. While there is only one out option on the Yamaha amp, I noticed two input options on the MA BXW10. One is a classic red/white R/L input and the other one is labelled LFE. According to the manual, the LFE is designed for connecting the sub to an digital AV amp, which clearly the AS-500 is not.
So I have tried out connecting the 1-2-1 cable to both the R and L ins as well as into the LFE. What I noticed is that when being connected to LFE, the bass volume is significantly higher. Since I could not found any information what the right connection is, I am now slighly confused. Am I supposed to use the LFE, or one of the R/L inputs or even another cable with a 1-2-2 configuration to connect to both the R/L input.
Apologies, first sub ever and also not an AV expert... so please excuse the probably stupid question.
