LLoyd D Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have a KGSW subwoofer from about 1995 and want to connect it to my Denon AVC1020 amp. the problem is no owners manual and so have no ide of the proper way to connect it. I'll be using JBL L5 speakers as well. Does anyone have an idea of how to connect it? oh and what the mini electrical toggle switch next to speaker wire connectors is for. thanks for any help Lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has dual 8" drivers, with dual voice coils that fire through the ports. The switch is to run it as either 4 ohm or 8 ohm (high or low output) according to the old brochure I have (see attached). It was designed to work with the Klipsch KG 1.2, 2.2, 3.2, 4.2 series of speakers... And it has a fixed 150 Hz low pass crossover. I know nothing about the JBL L5 specs, so I don't know how it would sound crossed over at 150 Hz with those speakers. You would connect it with the speaker wire coming from the left/right channel outputs from your Denon, to the left/right channel inputs on the KG SW. The KG SW's internal crossover then splits off the high frequencies (everything above 150 Hz) and routes them to the outputs on the KG SW. Your JBL L5's connect to the outputs on the KG SW. Here's a link to the specs... https://web.archive.org/web/20111129200037/http://www.klipsch.com/kg-sw I also found an old ad that has some good pictures of the sub here for anyone who is curious... http://www.usedgatineau.com/classified-ad/RARE-KLIPSCH-KG-SW-SUB-SUBWOOFER-BEST-FOR-HERESY-SPEAKERS_27724620.lite? The KG .2 series brochure is attached as a PDF file... Hope it works out for you...
