Sub pre-out

[admin_exported]

Hi all. Just something I am a little confused about.

I have this subwoofer:

I'm not sure what connection lead I need.

My reveiver has a sub out, and this sub has speaker level inputs (what are these for?!) and a line in.

I guess I need to use the line in, but this has two connectors (red & white) wheras my receivers sub pre-out has only 1.

There is an image of the pre-out on the back panel of my receiver here:

Cheers,

Use either of the line-ins on the sub. They're commoned inside, as there's only one amp and one driver, so it doesn't matter which you use.

The speaker level inputs are mainly there for use in a stereo system, where you can connect the sub in parallel with the main left and right speakers.

Thanks Andrew!

So something like this:

Would be fine to just plug into either of the line ins?

Cheers

Are you happy with it?

Lookwise yes. Very nice looking. (I have the silver model).

Haven't been able to actually listen to it yet as I am still saving up for speakers + wire.

I also bought a rather pricey QED interconnect which should help it sound its best.

But if it sounds as good as it looks I'll be more than happy.

It's horrible having it and not being able to use it yet!
