Subwoofer Installation Your new ProSub 60 Subwoofer contains a built-in amplifier and sophisticated electronic crossover. There are several ways to install your subwoofer.

Subwoofer Placement Your Definitive Technology subwoofer has been designed to operate at frequencies generally below 150 Hz.

to the amp. In many systems, if your speakers are true full range systems, you may find that you get a more satisfying sound by running the speak- ers full-range and crossing your subwoofer in fairly low (40-70 Hz). On the other hand, if you find that you are overdriving your main speakers, you will clearly be able to play your system louder by using the built-in high pass crossover for your main speakers.
