How to connect RPW-10 Subwoofer


amd

Recommended Posts

I have Klipsch RPW-10 subwoofer which I want to connect to Marantz SR 5004 receiver. 

The receiver manual recommends using SW (RCA) jack using a single wire to connect to the subwoofer if the subwoofer is powered (having its own amplifier). RPW-10 is a powered subwoofer.

The subwoofer manual indicates that this single wire (from the receiver's SW jack) should be connected to the LEFT/LFE (Line-In) jack of the subwoofer. But my dealer told me to connect this single wire to both the RIGHT and the LEFT/LFE jacks (Line-In) using a Y connector. 

My question is which of these two methods (connecting to only LEFT/LFE jack or connecting to both RIGHT and LEFT/LFE jacks using a Y connector) is correct?

Thanks in advance

Either of these is acceptable.  I use a Y-adapter, but that doesn't really mean much.  It's a line level signal and a standard line signal coming from your AVR.  Splitting it does nothing since there's only one channel of amplification in the subwoofer.
