This is the simplest and recommended connection. A rece

Connections to a preamplifier using Y cables If your preamplifier does not have a sub/LFE output, you can use “Y” cables to send its main outputs to both the subwoofer am- plifier and your main amplifier. The subwoofer will play the low frequency range and your front speakers will play the full range. Although bass is commonly distributed evenly between left and right channels (L+R bass), movie soundtracks often contain differential (L-R) bass. The opening scene in “Top Gun”, for examp
