dirland Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hoping someone here can help me out....I have a sw450 and a onkyo tx-sr805 I am trying to figure out the wiring oniy it.. I have def tech mythos 2 for fronts and center and running a pair of klipsch for surround.. My question is about the LFE hook up and how to run it....the diagram hookup says to run front left and right speakers from sub to reciever and then run same ports to the speakers. The are 2 ports on the back of sub on is LFE and one is line out.. do you still just run the cord from sub to sub input of reciever or pre out of reciever. Also I was just reading about bridging and wondering if that is good way to go with this set up. Thanks for any help you can give Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Run speaker wire from receiver to speakers. Then a single rca cable to your subwoofer lfe input. That's it. Super simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirland Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 There is no port on the onkyo that says lfe.....just use pre out then? Or keep it on the subwoofer plug?Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk It's a little hard to figure out at first, but I have had the 805 for about 10 years now and very familiar with it.... you would connect it to the subwoofer in the pre out section. See the picture of the manual I included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
