Does anyone know if this will work with LFE cables? So that I can use the sub out in the sound system, and connect it to the "in" slot in the transmitter. I would like to take the "out" of the transmitter and put it into my subs LFE connection. Also...

I have the LFE output of my soundbar plugged into the transmitter and the receiver plugged into the LFE input on my sub. Not sure about two subs if they are in separate parts of the room but you can split the LFE output on the receiver to two subs if they are close together.

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)?But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

Logitech replaced my entire speaker system when my Control Unit went bad, so I have a full system without a Control Unit. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to hook the sub up to a receiver? I can easily hook up the fronts, center and rears via the receiver's Class 2 Wiring hookups, but there is no way to do so with the sub, which would have to be modded. Any ideas?

The best is slot ported as shown on the screen. I build my own and they always sound better.I got 2 cheap 20 dollar subs for my girlfriend and they sounded great.. Yes it will fit...

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

The sub being used would need to have RCA inputs(how mine us currently setup). I guess you could rig up a splitter off of one of the speaker inputs. Or if your sub has input/output for speaker wire you could do that too.

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

Cut the connector off of the end of the cable that you are to connect to the subwolfer. There should be two wires joined together, make a slit from the cut end with a knife and separate the two wires and strip the ends. You can twist up the ends and (better yet tin them with silver solder) and just connect to the sub. Cheers! and enjoy.

I have a powered sub also and am using the LFE.btw...I did some experimenting with the Speaker Settings because i actually have small bookshelf speakers for my surround setup (Energy CB-10 frt and Polk r30 back). So I set the Speakers to Small for the front and back and the Sub defaulted to 'Normal' (I think that's what it said) and it sounds much better now. Hope this helps.

Most AVR recievers will have at least one sub output also known as LFE or low frequency effects, as one of the other responses stated, that's all you really need to connect the sub. You will want to learn about configuration of subs and your speakers to make sure that your sub handles only the frequencies it is designed to handle and the same with your other speakers. I have my sub handle everything under 80Hz and let my other speakers handle the rest since I run small speakers for everything besides the base.

It is designed specifically for Sub Woofer. There is no true left or right channel, as a sub only has one signal for low frequencies. It is supposed to be better than a single RCA however. Whether it is, is up to debate, but it is what I use. Perhaps some film makers are recording two channels for subs and in such cases this cable will ensure both signals reach your sub if your system is only a one sub system.

Hi Mark, I have tried to connect the transmitter to the audio output from my flatscreen and sending the Sound to wireless speakers. The setup was easy, but i felt the audio was slightly out of sync with the movements on the screen. I dont know quite what to say. It was not convincing!

Hey Greg!!Stopping By..My Personal Opinion on this topic would be..Bridging 2 12in sub's would be great..I had one 15in Audiopipe Bridge on Channel 3&4 .It was Fine...Never clipped out... 1&2 There was to selenium D250xHorns...So Give it a Shot!!!Hopes this review Helps!!!

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

I believe with this receiver, the sub gets connected with a coaxial cable. Even though there are two coax outputs for sub, my sub only has one input so I use the right output. I don't believe there is a way to use positive and negative connection wires (speaker wire) to the sub unless you get some kind of low-high level converter converting the wires from the sub to the required input on the amp

Hi all,I purchased the same unit (IM600) and wanted to add a subwoofer. I tried many things and I was able to connect my spare 10" powered subwoofer (JVC). The trick is to use the right cable (3.5 mm plug for IM600 to two RCA plugs for the subwoofer). I just used the cable that came with my ipod and it worked well (note - for some reason white and yellow works for my sub instead of white and red). I now have IM600 with rich deep bass and it sounds very good. As I understand IM600 can work with any "powered" subwoofer with the right cable.Note - I am assuming since its a powered subwoofer it will not put any strain on IM600.Hope this would help folks who are trying to connect a subwoofer to IM600.Regards.

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.
