Figure 2 shows connection from a pre-amplifier’s main outputs to the left and right inputs of your
Velodyne subwoofer. You will also need to connect a second pair of RCA cables from the outputs
on the back of your subwoofer to the inputs on the back of your amplifier. When the subwoofer
is installed in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 80 Hz which removes
the lower bass frequencies from your external amplifier and speakers, enabling them to do a
better job reproducing the higher frequencies. By utilizing this method, you will have a bi-amplified
system, gaining improved power and headroom for your system. This installation method is not
as common as the method described in Figure 1. (Cables needed: 2 stereo pair of RCA cables.)
