System Configurations

The following pages show some typical connections that you might make in your

installation. They show how the inputs and outputs of the subwoofer's amplifier are con-

nected to your preamplifier or receiver.

Connections to a preamplifier’s subwoofer output

If your preamplifier has a subwoofer

output (often labeled LFE for Low Fre-

quency Effects), it can be connected

to the amplifier’s Left (Mono) input

as shown. This is the simplest and

recommended connection. A receiver

with a sub/LFE output can be con-

nected in the same way.

The subwoofer will play the low fre-

quency range and the other speakers

will play the frequency range deliv-

ered to them by your main amplifier.

If you have a Home Theater pre-

amplifier, it may have an independent

subwoofer volume control. Make sure

this is correctly adjusted, and that

the Sunfire subwoofer’s crossover

frequency is set to 100 Hz. This is by

no means an iron-clad rule, rather

it is a good starting point. (See the

crossover frequency control details on

page 6 and adjustments on page 17).

You can set the sub amplifier's Vol-

ume control to 0 dB, and then use the

preamplifier’s subwoofer level control

for normal and routine adjustments.
