boa, I have the de945. If you set the front speakers to small, you can adjust the cutoff frequency of them (default is 120). Even though I have large fronts I have to set the fronts to small or I get very little out of the sub. That is the only adjustment you can make. The good thing about the ksw-15 is that the LFE in is not affected by the low pass filter, right? So I may try plugging into all 3 inputs and setting my fronts back to large, then setting the low pass on the ksw to 80. Maybe this is the ideal setup for the sony/ksw. That way the sub is used for all LFE, but is not overtaxed by bass in the 80-120 range? I watched the rock last night and it seemed a bit overpowering at some points. The main use of my sub is for HT, so I am not worried about too much bass in music. I have the pro media v4.1 which I use to listen to mp3s and they are great. I think at some point I will trade the large fronts for some satellites (quintets?). thanks for the info..

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I was thinking if I used all 3 inputs(LFE,L,R), I would be able to filter music with the low pass, but leave the LFE intact. But if a DVD did not have LFE, would I be missing out on any bass by turning the low pass up? I wish the manual was a little better. Also, I have large floor standing speakers with 2 12" woofers in each. What would you recommend setting the low pass filter to on the sub? I am new to this whole bass management thing. Thanks a bunch. --B.

Hi, I just got my KSW-15 and hooked it up to my Sony receiver via the sub out. When I hook the sub up using only the LFE input, the bass is weak (using The Matrix as my test DVD). I have the DTS LFE leve set to +10db on the reciever as recommended and my front speakers set to small. If I use a Y-cable to hook into the LFE and either the left or right inputs, I get more bass. If I hook into the left and right sub inputs and not the LFE, I get the most bass. I did read on this forum that you get more bass by hooking up both the left and right inputs. My question is, should I get another Y-cable and hook into all 3 inputs so I don't miss out on the LFE channel bass? Thanks for any help! --Brian.
