BHZ Boy Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 So I opened the boxes last night...brand new Klipsch LF10 and Harman Kardon AVR 7000. I read my Klipsch manual and it appears I am suppose to run BOTH an LFE line and wire my KLF10's (fronts) through my subwoofer. Then, I read the HK (receiver) manual and it tells me to just run the LFE line - no mention of running my speakers through my sub. I am new at this HT setup stuff - always just listened to two-channel without a sub. So, I am embarrassed to have to ask - what do I do? How do I hook up my sub? No teasing me here okay? Just need some "sound" advice from those that know best. Thanks in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig6519 Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 BHZboy, You can't do both, I know the KLF-10's put out pretty good bass. I'd recommened hooking it up to the LFE and trying it out that way, you'll still be able to tell the H/K to send the bass to both the KLF's and the sub that way.

BHZ Boy Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 Craig, Two questions: First, I can't do both, or shouldn't? Second, if I hook it up with the LFE only, can I tell my receiver to play "2-Channel Stereo" and it will still utilize the sub? Thanks.

Craig6519 Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I'm 99% sure it's one or the other, so to answer your first question the answer is no. Second Yes the sub will work in 2 channel even if it's plugged into the LFE.

Al Klappenberger Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 BHZ I got an LF-10 sub, but I bought it used and never got the manual. I do NOT believe you should hook up twoin puts at once to the LF-10. Either use the LFE input (the best way) or the line level inputs (not quite as good) or the speaker posts (crumby!). But not both. I have mine connected from the LFE connector to the outputs of a Marchand 24 dB / octave active crossover at 70 Hz. It works quite nicely and will shake the walls! Al K.

BHZ Boy Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 Thanks. The LF-10 manual is available on this website. I downloaded the .pdf file. If you have a problem finding it, send me an e-mail. It was under the "Classic" speakers under home audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Use the LFE input on the LF10,if you enable/ativate the sub out on your H/K you should hear the sub working no matter if its plain "2 channel" or 5.1 working. The sub will add some good foundation to movies and music(unless you listen to birds singing LOL). Me I cant live without a sub,err many subs. I would NOT use speaker level/high level to conect a sub unless I would have no other choice. TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHZ Boy Posted March 10, 2002 Author Share Posted March 10, 2002 The Ear, I believe you in your response to just use the LFE... but I am just curious as to why, or phrased another way...what's the difference between the two? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
