If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS� receiver/processor with a low-frequency-effect (LFE) output: NOTE: In this case, you do not need to use a Y connector: Simply connect the LFE output on your receiver/processor to either the left or right input on the subwoofer:

If your receiver/amplifier has preamp output jacks and main input jacks for the left and right channels or you have a separate preamp/processor and power amplifier: This method of hookup can offer the highest level of performance for your complete loudspeaker system. Your subwoofer incorporates an adjustable high-pass crossover in addition to a variable low-pass crossover. When hooked up as shown on the right, the subwoofer will limit the low-frequency information that is returned to your receiver/amplifier. Your receiver/amplifier does not need to waste valuable power reproducing the low frequencies. In addition, since no low-frequency information is being sent to your main loudspeakers, they are able to reproduce mid and high frequencies with greater clarity.
