Iceman Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I am buying a plus-series SVS PC sub. I was wondering if you can hook it up using an LFE subwoofer cable, because I didn't notice any such connection in any of the pictures. It looked as though it only had red/black terminals. Thank you for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Gary Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Yes, you can hook it up directly to your processors LFE channel with a single RCA subwoofer cable. If you don't already have one I highly recommend the Bettercables interconnect (you can get them directly from SVS at 1/3 the price if you have their sub!). To hook it up just plug it in to either the right or the left amp inputs on the sub...it doesn't matter which one. Many people suggest using a Y-splitter/adaptor and plugging into both the left and right amp inputs. The SVS manual says that there is no need to do this. I tend to agree with them. Good luck and enjoy your sub! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOZ Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I agree, Sometimes when you split the feed into both inputs you can get an annoying humm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio101 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 ICEMAN ... which one are you getting (2531, 2039, 1646) and how did you decide to go with SVS? I have the opportunity to listen to Klipsch and Sunfire ... however no one in my area has an SVS (audioenvy.com). Also, what's the difference between the PC Plus and the PCi? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Audio 101 - What is "your area?" Might be someone from the boards here that is near you. I doubt many/any of us registered ourselves on audioenvy. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripod Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 PCi is their standard (but very good) powered cylinder. The PCPlus has an even better woofer and I think some of the other components are upgraded as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio101 Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 Thanks for the response Tripod ... I did however get off my "online butt" and head over to the SVS site to actually read what the differences were. After I posted that message I felt kind of lazy since all I had to do was go read myself. I went and tested the Klipsch RSW-15 today ... watched a couple of the good scenes from the DVD "The Patriot". Sure sounded great to me ... I just wish I could hear the SVS! I guess I may just have to buy the SVS and test it on my own system and determine within 45 days whether or not there's a better one out there in that price range $500 - $1500.
